If you lose 5kg, does that make you a better runner?

Not necessarily. Spencer Matthews and Oli Patrick unpack why what you lose matters more than how much, and why dropping body weight doesn't automatically translate into better performance.

For runners, trying to get lighter while trying to get faster can mean chasing two competing goals. From losing muscle and under-fuelling to the rise of GLP-1 drugs, this episode asks a more important question: are you losing weight, or are you losing what you need to run well?

Are you tired because life is busy… or could your body actually be missing something?

In this episode of Untapped Extra Mile, Oli Patrick tackles some of the most common nutrient deficiencies - iron, vitamin D and B12 - and explains how they could be affecting your energy, health and running performance.

Oli breaks down the warning signs to look out for, from unexplained fatigue and breathlessness to changes in performance, and explores when blood testing can actually be useful. He also explains why runners may need to pay particular attention to their nutrient levels, whether supplements are really necessary, and why simply taking more isn’t always the answer.

Plus, we look at why deficiencies may be becoming more common - and the simple questions you should ask before reaching for another supplement.

Because when it comes to performance, sometimes getting better isn’t about adding more. It’s about finding out what’s holding you back.
