Ep 425 - Weight Loss Drugs: Benefits, Risks, and Realities (Ozempic, Wegovy & Mounjaro)
In today’s episode we dive into the benefits, risks and realities of modern weight loss drugs. Drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro have hit the world by storm, and as they become more accessible, will only continue to do so. There’s a lot of stigma and misunderstanding about them, and their side effects, so we wanted to share a balanced approach to how they could be integrated into a fitness journey. On a mass general population level, they’ll be a game changer in reducing obesity - you can get all the benefits of diet and exercise without doing much. If you’re listening to this however, you want a more holistic approach to your transformation, so we share insights into who it may be useful for, why and how it could be utilised, or not.

Ep 421 - A Marathon Masterclass (From 4+ To Sub 3 Hours) w/ Coach John Starrett aka The Stablemaster
DISCLAIMER: This episode was filmed outside overlooking the Rift Valley in Kenya, so there will be some background noise - hopefully all the value makes it irrelevant 🙂 On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio I’m joined by my running coach, John Starrett aka The Stablemaster, in what shaped up to be a complete marathon masterclass. Here’s the spiel - if you want to take 15, 30 or even 60 minutes off your marathon personal best in the next 12-18 months, we’re going to cover the exact methodology behind how to do it. These improvements sound insane but every month there’s a new success story coming out of John’s group of normal average people setting insane personal bests. In the past 7 years alone, John’s taken over 700 people to sub 3 hours, and over 200 to break 2 hours 30. The best bit is these aren’t elite runners, and that’s why for my own sub 3 hour marathon goal, I hired John. This episode was filmed outside overlooking the beautiful Rift Valley in the Home of Running Champions, Iten, so if you hear a few birds chirping, that’ll be why. Whether you’re currently over 4 hours, in the 3s or already at a good level, there’s something in here for you. So keep a notes file handy, get ready to scribble fast, and learn the step-by-step method to set an insane personal best in the coming year.
