The Milestone Pursuit

As featured in The Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2020/may/09/fit-in-my-40s-silently-arguing-mindful-running-coach) this audio coaching session, where you download the recording and listen to it on the run as if I'm there with you, is about how to use running to practice mindfulness. It still involves running (all easy), and specifically connecting your body to your brain and being more conscious of the world around you.

Recorded on 11.04.20, with a fresh new 4 min intro added on 13.11.20, these are things people have said about it;

"Ran with this session this morning. Loved it! Esp coz I needed a break from a rather chaotic household with kids 😂the park was much quieter so perfect setting 😊. Thanks Steve!"

“I discovered your podcast via the Guardian’s “Fit in My Forties” column at the weekend and ran to the first episode, Mindfulness in Running, on Sunday and again this morning. In a word, it was brilliant. Fan letters are not normally my thing, but I wanted to let you know how inspirational I found this episode. I never noticed the distance or any tiredness because I was so caught up in the moment and reflecting on what was happening with my feet, head, arms etc. I like to think that my technique is improving as a result of your gentle guidance “

I'm delighted to welcome double Olympian and two-time 4th place World Championship finisher Callum Hawkins both to the podcast and into our long-standing scheme to invest in underfunded British elite marathon runners.

This episode could easily be the 5th episode of our 2022 mini series which explored how hard being a marathoner is through the eyes and experiences of elite athletes as Callum (as has his brother Derek) has had a rough ride during and since the pandemic. We explore what has happened and where Callum is on his own personal comeback trail.

I hope you enjoy it, and if you do, please feel free to share it.

Thanks a lot

And we have reached the end, the last part of our 5 part mini series into Women in Sport. As evidenced by the Lionesses march to the World Cup final, it feels like we are at a moment in time in which the way women's sport is watched and played is changing rapidly, this series has explored what is happening right now in women's sport, and what more needs to be done to bridge the equality gap, looking at it mainly through the eyes and experiences of women in running.

This final episode is a very rich conversation with the incredible Katrin Flikschuh about her experiences of running as a means to beat an eating disorder and improve her mental health in the 1980s to competing at a high level in cross-country and marathons in the present day. It is a great conversation in it's own right, but it also a great way to complete this series (for now) as it summarises many of the themes and further questions we have covered in the previous 4 episodes.

I hope you enjoy this one and the whole series as much as I have, I suspect there will be much more on this subject to come in the future, thanks so much for listening.

And if there is one episode to share, this is it....

Hello, in this Recovery Ramble, recorded on Hampstead Heath, we explore some thoughts on how leadership is changing, and using recent examples of leadership provided by sport I talk about what I think makes empathetic leaders who/what they are.

Thanks for listening, if you enjoy it, please feel free to share it far and wide, if you don't please feel free to use it as a sleep aid.

Take Care

I often talk about getting our hips high as we run and I'm aware it can be a little abstract so in this audio coaching session, where you download the recording and listen to it on the run as if I'm there with you, we are doing a specific session to work on hips.

The main session is about 35 minutes worth of cues and exercises designed with our hips in mind.

Before that, though, there is a pre-amble about why hips are important, and what I mean. The main session starts at about 23 minutes.

Let me know how you find the session

Thanks a lot
