Welcome to the Evergreen Athlete podcast...
This podcast is designed for people who used to live for sport but are now in a different place. They've recently focused on their careers and families and are unsure how to train athletically as they age. They have different stressors and problems. My name is Finlay MacHugh, and this is something that I have gone through myself to help people overcome every single day. If you're here, you likely have questions about how to train and live optimally. So this is what to expect...

About Me (Your Host):
As of writing this in February 2025, I have been a strength and conditioning coach for 15 years, and I've coached at some level for 20 (Christ, that's scary). I'm the founder of Evergreen Athlete, an online coaching platform for those over 30s who want to regain their consistency and confidence to be their best version.

Overview
Generic programmes rarely stick—and even when they do, they often don’t move the needle. In this episode, Finlay breaks down how to build a comeback plan that actually fits your sport, your body, and your life, so progress becomes predictable rather than hopeful.
Key talking points
Before you head off, a quick word.
If you used to live for sport and the itch to compete hasn’t gone away—but niggles, work and family keep tripping you up—I coach people just like you.
We’ll get you training with purpose again, manage the sore bits, and build steady progress that brings your confidence back.

Cheers,
Finlay
