    Jul 27 2026

    The hardest part of running isn't the session itself, it's getting out the door. Two-time Olympic distance runner Andy Butchart shares the mindset and training principles that helped him reach the highest level of the sport.


    He explains why consistency beats intensity, how building an aerobic base can unlock long-term performance, and why small daily wins are the key to becoming a better runner.

  • Inflammation Explained: The Hidden Key To Longevity, Health & Better Training
    Jul 23 2026

    Inflammation is essential for recovery and healing, but when it becomes chronic, it can quietly impact everything from your performance to your long-term health.


    Oli Patrick and Spencer explain the difference between helpful acute inflammation and the chronic inflammation caused by modern lifestyle factors like ultra-processed foods, alcohol, stress and excess body fat.


    Learn how nutrition, sleep and recovery can help reduce chronic inflammation, why ice baths aren't always the answer, and why, with inflammation, more isn't always better.

  • Should There Be Weight Classes In Running? | Jordan Stanton
    Jul 20 2026

    Big Boy Running Club founder Jordan Stanton believes running isn't just about getting fitter, it's about proving to yourself that you're capable of more than you thought. He explains why the biggest challenge for many larger runners isn't physical, but psychological, and how overcoming self-doubt is the first step towards lasting progress.


    Jordan also reveals why most mainstream training plans fail bigger runners by ignoring one crucial factor: body weight. He shares why representation, community and healthy competition can be the difference between giving up and sticking with it, creating an environment where more people feel they truly belong.
