  • The Health Metric Nobody Understands: VO2 Max Explained | Untapped Extra Mile
    Apr 9 2026

    Spencer and expert physiologist Oli Patrick break down the science behind the health and fitness trends shaping your feed, unveiling the truth and busting myths so you can train smarter.


    Real experience, meets real science — unpacking what actually improves performance.


    This episode explores VO2 Max, the objective measure of oxygen consumption and the leading predictor of human longevity.


    Oli Patrick explains why this "Life Number" is more predictive of lifespan than blood pressure or whether you smoke or not. Data shows that every 1ml/kg increase in VO2 Max adds approximately 45 days to life expectancy.


    Spencer also visits a VO2 Max testing centre for the first time in 7 years to see the improvements he's made. Together, they reveal the most effective way to increase VO2 Max; from high-intensity intervals to building a more efficient engine, proving this isn’t just a fitness metric, it’s a measure of how much life you have in the tank.

  • Ibiza, Ocean Beach, & The Day I Hit Rock Bottom | Wayne Lineker
    Apr 6 2026

    Wayne Lineker reveals the reality behind his infamous party lifestyle, from near-death experiences with pneumonia to the family moments that forced him to confront his addiction.

    He describes the daily spiral of alcohol dependency, starting mornings with vodka just to function, and the breaking points that changed everything, including being told he could no longer pick up his granddaughters and an emotional goodbye with his son.

    Now sober, Wayne details the shift from chaos to routine, rebuilding his health, mindset, and relationships, and why, for the first time in years, he can finally say he’s proud of himself.

  • Why Mobility Unlocks Better Strength & Endurance | Roger Frampton
    Mar 30 2026

    Movement specialist Roger Frampton challenges everything you think you know about posture, flexibility, and aging, arguing that stiffness isn’t inevitable, it’s a result of how you stop moving.


    He breaks down why there’s no such thing as a “perfect” posture, why mobility matters more than flexibility, and how the body is an adaptable system that responds to how you use it. From sitting on the floor to returning to childlike movement patterns, these are simple, practical ways to rebuild strength and capability in your joints.


    It’s about moving better, not just living longer, and keeping your body capable of doing what it was designed for.
