Simply completing an Ultra marathon like the Dragon’s Back running across the spine of the entire length of Wales, covering all the highest mountains in the country is a hell of a physical and mental achievement… it’s rated as the toughest ultra marathon in the world and we are blessed today to speak with James Nobles the winner of the Dragon’s Back last year - at his first attempt!
James has an incredible story and many lessons to be learned from his progressive and consistent approach to ultra running training. I couldn’t wait to speak to him and find out, what it was like to win an event like the Dragons Back and can’t wait to hear your feedback once you’ve listened.

Ep #18 - When is HYPERVENTILATION Safe? Combining Science & Ancient Wisdom with Conni Breathwork Alchemy
Meet Conni Biesalski from Breathwork Alchemy who has such a compelling personal story about not just her way into breathwork but also the journey to explore every possible angle of breathwork.
I've not met a coach or teacher who's explored as many different avenues of breathwork as Conni so I was excited to have her on the podcast to share a unique perspective that only someone with that much experience and education could give. You won't be disappointed and how hope that you are not only enlightened about areas you might not have considered before but also potentially challenged of your own thinking and own practise.

Ep #17 - Creating A Warrior Mindset: Lessons from UFC with coach Daria Albers
Learn from one of the best in the business. Daria Albers works with some of the best fighting athletes in the entire world, helping them cultivate what she describes as a 'Warrior Mindset'. I'm lucky enough to be able to call Daria a friend and I've learned so much from her great experience and wisdom, so I'm delighted that you get to learn from her too in this podcast episode.
As I write this I'm less than 2 days from the start of a #Snowdon24 challenge which requires 'Everesting' mount snowdon by doing 9 reps... and I'm sacred to be brutally honest. Was was previously excited by now the mind is starting to play some tricks on me. I know its part of the process, I know what training I've done and I know with some of the 'tools' Daria has taught me over the years I'll give a best account of myself.
Will my 'best' be good enough?
Will the body hold up?
I don't know... but I also don't know what my 'best' is yet!
I know that we are all far more capable than we can imagine and that a challenge gives us the opportunity to express what we actually can achieve.
