What if your breath could change everything?
In this powerful episode, I sit down with Russ Allchin, a certified Wim Hof Method instructor, to unpack how breathwork transformed his training, mindset, and emotional health. From martial arts to midlife resilience, Russ shares his journey and the science behind breathing techniques that unlock energy, focus, and emotional release. We explore how men in their 40s and 50s can use breathwork, fasting, and the power of community to improve physical health, manage stress, and rediscover purpose. It’s an honest, practical, and inspiring conversation about strength, self-awareness, and the power of showing up — one breath at a time.

In this episode, I talk to nutrition expert Paul Garrod to discuss the critical role of nutrition in fuelling comebacks, particularly for Men in their 40s and 50s. We explore the importance of consistency in dietary habits, the impact of carbohydrates on performance, and the significance of sleep in recovery. The conversation also addresses common challenges faced by Men trying to improve their nutrition, including cravings and the effects of alcohol. Paul provides insights on effective strategies for pre-race nutrition, the benefits of Creatine, and the nuances of body composition.

In this episode I sit down with Pete Wright — a finance director, husband, father, and accidental ultra-athlete. Pete wasn’t always a runner. In fact, there was a time when he was out of shape, without clear goals or purpose. But that all changed when he took on the London Marathon, sparking a fire that led him to one of the toughest endurance races on the planet—the Marathon des Sables.

Pete shares his methodical approach to tackling big goals—breaking them down into a plan and executing with relentless focus. But even the best-laid plans don’t always go smoothly. We dive into his experience at the Dragon’s Back Race, a brutal 380Km multi-day event where he faced unexpected struggles and ultimately had to pull out. That setback, however, only fuelled his comeback.

He bounced back in a big way—taking on the Jungle Marathon in the Amazon, where he battled injury, heatstroke, and even a close encounter with a Jaguar to get to the finish line.

We conclude by talking about Pete's gruelling Trans Atlantic row and how his mindset and visualisation strategy powered him to success

This is a story about resilience, overcoming failure, and proving to yourself that you can come back stronger.
