  • Why Dieting Keeps Failing You (And What Actually Worked For Me)
    May 22 2026

    Episode 5 of The Consistency Club Podcast focuses on nutrition, appetite and why so many people struggle with dieting long term.

    Adam talks about his whole-food and high-protein approach to nutrition, why he dislikes aggressive calorie restriction, and how years of dieting culture have left many people stuck in a cycle of restriction, cravings and guilt.

    Using relatable stories, client examples and real-life analogies, this episode explores:

    • Why most diets fail long term
    • The problem with relying purely on willpower
    • How ultra-processed foods affect hunger and cravings
    • Why protein and whole foods help control appetite naturally
    • The relationship between blood sugar, insulin and hunger
    • Why slow cookers and simple meals make consistency easier
    • The importance of convenience in healthy eating
    • Why increasing movement is often more sustainable than endlessly reducing calories
    • How running changes your relationship with food
    • Why consistency matters more than perfection with nutrition

    Adam also shares stories from his own journey and clients he’s worked with who believed they had “no discipline,” when in reality their bodies were simply fighting back against overly restrictive dieting.

    This episode is a reminder that healthy living shouldn’t feel like punishment, and that long-term progress usually comes from creating a lifestyle your body can actually sustain.

  • The 3km Wall: Why So Many Runs Feel Awful At The Start
    May 20 2026

    Episode 4 of The Consistency Club Podcast explores one of the most common experiences runners go through - why the start of so many runs can feel absolutely terrible.

    Adam talks about the “3K wall” feeling that many beginner and experienced runners experience, where breathing feels awkward, legs feel heavy and your brain starts trying to convince you to stop before you’ve even properly settled into the run.

    Using personal stories, client examples and relatable analogies, this episode covers:

    • Why the start of runs often feels harder than expected
    • The mistake of panicking during uncomfortable runs
    • Why beginner runners misinterpret discomfort as failure
    • How slow running improves enjoyment and consistency
    • The psychological side of running and self-belief
    • Why enjoyment matters more than people realise
    • How running gradually changes identity and confidence
    • Why patience is one of the most important running skills
    • The connection between resilience, fitness and mental health

    This episode is a reminder that difficult starts are completely normal, and that often the best part of the run comes after the point where most people would’ve stopped.

  • The Real Reason Most People Quit Running
    May 16 2026

    In episode 3 of The Consistency Club Podcast, Adam talks about the emotional side of running and fitness, and why so many people end up quitting - not because they physically can’t do it, but because they become mentally exhausted from constantly feeling like they’re failing.

    This episode explores the deeper reasons people start running in the first place, from improving mental health and confidence to losing weight, proving something to themselves or simply trying to feel better again.

    Adam discusses:

    • Why comparison steals enjoyment from running
    • The emotional pressure people attach to pace, weight and performance
    • Why social media makes runners feel behind
    • The difference between consistency and perfection
    • How running gradually changes identity and confidence
    • Why most people are doing far better than they think
    • The problem with all-or-nothing thinking
    • Why confidence is built through repeated action
    • How small consistent habits completely change lives over time

    Using personal stories, client examples and relatable analogies, this episode is a reminder that progress in running and fitness is rarely linear, and that the people who succeed long term are usually the ones who simply stop quitting after difficult weeks.
