Just a quick note before we get into this episode - the audio quality on my end was slightly jumpy however it gets better as the conversation develops so please stick with it! I have joined a different streaming platform so this audio issue will be rectified from here on out! Hello and welcome back to Run Fast, Lift Heavy! Today I was joined by Crossfit Games athlete and seminar staff, James Hobart. In the CrossFit space, James really has done it all! He has competed as an individual, on a team with CrossFit Mayhem and as a master. Not only this but he is also on the seminar team so knows a thing or two about training, nutrition and health! In this conversation we discussed: - exactly what it takes to be a CF Games athlete, including training volume, nutrition and environment - what it was like to train with Rich Froning at his barn - the development of competitive CrossFit and how performances have dramatically improved - James’s prediction for the 2022 Games (Mayhem versus Reykjavik) and what he thinks of “super teams” - why the community of CrossFit is what makes the methodology special If you enjoyed this episode, please do rate, review and subscribe!

Hello and welcome back to Run Fast, Lift Heavy! Today I was joined by movement and muscle mechanics coach, Ash Grossman. After experiencing a number of trapped nerve impingements in his traps and neck, Ash endeavoured to find out more about the way to body moves and how injuries can be prevented.   In this conversation, Ash and I discussed: - Why static stitching isn’t preventing you from injuries & why range of motion training trumps flexibility - Why most injury rehab is reactive and why we should be working towards proactive and preventative techniques   - Why most of the injuries in CrossFit are caused by doing too much too early    We finished off with a game of overrated vs underrated covering topics such as: - Are massage guns effective?  - Should we buy into toe spacers or barefoot shoes?  - Are kipping movements necessary for fitness?  - Does foam rolling work?   If you enjoyed this episode please do rate, review and subscribe!   Run Fast Lift Heavy is partnered with PureSport CBD.

Today I was joined by an incredible man who has shared his story of losing 100+ pounds to inspire and motivate others to change their lives. This man is Tony Reyes. At his heaviest Tony weighed 400 pounds, or 180 kilos for those of us in the UK. After the birth of his son, Tony realised that he had to lose the weight or he wouldn’t be a part of his little boys future. Fast forward to now and Tony has not only lost the weight but has completed a marathon, a spartan race and is an ambassador for Bare Performance Nutrition. In this episode you’ll learn exactly how Tony dropped the weight, why the worst part about being obese is seeing the pain it causes those around you, why having a supportive partner is the key ingredient to success and much more. I’m sure you’ll get goosebumps just like I did. @focusfightfinish @phoebecartwright

We discussed Lizzie's journey to becoming a Personal Trainer in Singapore, despite her preconceived ideas of what a "proper career" looked like. We then talked about how and why she decided to leave Singapore and move her business online, as well as discussing some of the hurdles she's had to overcome on this journey. Finally, we finished off with a chat about the importance of routine for Lizzie and how she is bouncing back from a period of feeling relatively unfit! @lizziewrightyfitness @phoebecartwright
