This week we're chatting with Brian Keane who's just completed The Marathon De Sables - a multiday ultra-endurance foot race in the Sahara Desert. The 6 day event requires athletes to cover around 254 km with individual stages varying in length with the longest day around 91 km. Aside from the extreme temperatures which can range from ~50°C in the day to ~5°C at night, a further challenge is that competitors are required to be largely self-sufficient and must carry all their own food and equipment for the event.

Jackson's main area of research is on a subject called concurrent training. You might not have heard of concurrent training but it's something you are probably doing….without being aware of it. It is when you do some form endurance training and strength training in your training routine. If you lift weights and run or you class yourself as a runner who occasionally lifts weights, that's a form of concurrent training. There are a lot of myths about doing the two. We discussed if cardio will ruin your gains and if you do strength training, will it make you run slower or get too bulky? We talked about the benefits of doing both, if we should do them in the same session, if we should do one before the other.

You might remember Ross from Episode 85 when he came to chat about 30 marathons in 30 days along with various other crazy challenges that he's done. Ross is a bit of an adventurer and he likes to see how he can push the human body to its absolute limits. In this episode, we chatted about his new book (The World's Fittest Book: How To Train For Anything & Everything, Anywhere & Everywhere) which he talks about how he does training and all the things that he's learned from interviewing industry pioneers and various world champions. He also talked about hybrid training; how can you train for an endurance sport whilst getting stronger or how can you get faster but build muscle at the same time. It is an interesting episode because you'll learn how Ross managed to train for these crazy events that he swam for four hours non-stop once yet he looks like a powerlifter.

This week we are chatting with Greg McKeown – the author of the book Essentialism: The disciplined Pursuit of Less.

We’re going to be chatting about how to apply the concept of essentialism in your life so that your fitness and nutrition goals can become more attainable. Greg and I discussed how to prioritize, how to avoid getting distracted and pulled off target. He also explains why we should say “no” more so that we're actually able to focus on the things that are important.

When we are trying to lose weight, we get bombarded with conflicting messages: what type of diet should we follow, what are we going to do in the gym, what’s the best supplement to take. The problem with the information overloads is that we then start trying to do a hundred different things and we forget about the bigger picture. This episode will give you clarity and it should show you how to focus on the things that are important.

This week we are chatting about some of the reasons why you are not experiencing the results you were expecting.

My guest is Gar Benn. He is a coach based in Ireland for a company called Sigma Nutrition and he’s also the owner or a gym called City Gym Limerick. In this episode, we dive deep on setting realistic expectations, different metrics to track progress, and some of the misinterpretations that people have when it comes to following weight loss guidelines.

It's helpful if you are in that process of trying to lose weight. Or if you experience success at the beginning but you may have noticed that results start to slow down and may be getting a little bit frustrated. This will help get you back on track and allow you to look at the bigger picture.

This week you are in for a treat. We’ve got Chris Powell on the show. Chris is a transformation coach and he was the host of a program that we called “Obese: A Year to Save My Life” but in the U.S. it was called “Extreme Weight Loss”. We've had to split the episode into two parts. In this part, we'll be looking at how Chris ended up becoming one of the most popular transformation coaches in the U.S. We chatted about his experiences of working with people and helping them lose crazy amounts of weight like 200 pounds in a year. Chris had some serious challenges and boundaries to break. He helped people who were so obese they were struggling to walk, had years of terrible diet choices and hadn’t exercised in years. This really is an amazing episode, here’s part one….
