In this episode of The Run Down, I break down my experience racing in South Korea — from the high hopes to the hard truths. I walk through the entire race, share my data comparisons, and unpack what might’ve gone wrong: from travel fatigue to taper strategy, to just… not my day.
This is the full debrief. The behind-the-scenes. The unfiltered recap. If you've ever had a race blow up on you, you'll relate to this one.
🎧 Filmed live in Incheon, now adapted for the pod.
💥 Topics: race strategy, mindset mid-meltdown, taper mistakes, and lessons for Chicago.
Mark my words...I will get that sub 60. Today just wasn't that day.
This episode is all over the place in the best kind of way. I kick things off solo with a bit of a training update, a kangaroo rescue mission, and some honest thoughts around identity, social media, and why I cut a chunk out of last week’s episode.
Then Amy jumps in and things get loose. We chat relationship milestones (farting with mouth tape on made the list), run through some weirdly specific Q&A, talk about what it’s like trying to balance work, training, and time together — and there are plenty of laughs along the way.
Appreciate you being here. If you’re into it, let me know what you think of the episode or drop a rating – helps a lot 👊🏼
I fly solo in this one, recapping my recent Deka Strong win, training block updates, and the surprising muscular grind of Zone 2.
I dive into the psychology of performance, why intensity needs balance, and how cutting out gossip has completely shifted my perspective. A bit of a ramble, a lot of real talk.
In this raw, real, and refreshingly honest episode, I sit down with my partner Amy for an open chat about the way they navigate our relationship — a relationship that doesn’t always follow society’s "rules."
From balancing goals and personal space to supporting each other through the heavy stuff, this episode dives into how we make it all work.
It’s heartfelt, hilarious, and at times, pretty damn deep. We unpack everything from triggers and communication to running a 10K for the first time and what it really means to be a supportive partner (spoiler: it’s not always doing what the other person wants).
Whether you're in a relationship, single, or just love hearing people get real — this one’s for you.

In this episode I sat down to talk about how I track my recovery through my resting Heart rate. I believe it has been the pivotal change that has allowed me to get more out of my training on a weekly basis. As I am able to quickly identify when I need to either dial back or am able to dial up my training volume/intensity.

I raced @HYROX_OFFICIAL Auckland in the Mens Solo Pro category and came away with the Age group win and 4th overall.
I' in a base build with my Hyrox training at the moment. So I went into the race with no expectations for how it would go. Mainly because I knew id be carrying a bit of fatigue into the race. So when I finished I was a bit surprised at the results.
There are so many factors that play into how we show up and actually race on race day. Some of them are predictable and controlable. Others are completely out of our control.
Heres how the recap plays out:
0:00 - 0:30 Introduction
0:30 - 2:00 Lead up to Auckland Hyrox
2:00 - 3:20 Race day
3:20 - 3:55 Pre Race
3:55 - 7:50 The race
7:50 - 10:07 The aftermath of the race + Racing mixed doubles on day 2

Back in the hot seat this week for a quick episode. Didn’t plan a whole lot to talk about this week so just went off the cuff for most of it. I promise next week ill plan a little more so the flow is a little better. Bonus points for anyone who can count how many times I yawn during the recording.
Anyway hope you guys enjoy the episode. Here is how it plays out:

Another busy week for me means another new podcast format for you guys! I recorded a few snippets throughout the week as I didn’t have time to do it all at once. The audio is a bit sketchy so I do apologise for that. Otherwise I hope you enjoy the copious amounts of words!

After a few unexpected weeks off the mic I return this week locked and loaded with a bunch of crazy ‘Aviator Theories’ and some kinda interesting stories. I have also spent the last 2 weeks thinking about the direction id like to take the podcast in so I go into a bit of depth on that as well as some other random stuff.
The episode pans out like this:

Went with a different style this week. I had a bunch of things that caused me to go on rants throughout the week so I decided to just get them off my chest and rant to you guys about the things that we’re all thinking but don’t always say! I also talk about my training for the week… But its mostly just solid Rants!
The episode goes like this:

I am back with a topic this week after just a short sharp episode last week. I’ve had this one in the pipeline for a while now! Its a topic that I really enjoy thinking about in my own time. I go pretty deep into how I think our character is developed and why it is the way it is. I also go pretty deep into talking trash at the end… which is always fun!

I was super short on time this week so I only had time for a short episode. I didn’t want to rush any topic and try and squeeze it into 30mins so I just filled the time with a bunch of rambling and some odd thoughts. I hope you guys enjoy the episode! I will hopefully be back with some form of topic for next week. Here’s how the episode panned out:

This week I open the episode with about 300 different tangents then I go on to talk about the topic of ‘Mental Toughness’ and what I think it means to be ‘Mentally Tough’. I also give my theories on if and how we can teach people to be Mentally Tough in their own lives.
The episode plays out a little like this:

Back with the final part of ‘Alcohol around life and training’. This weeks episode is more focused on how alcohol can effect us externally. I take a look at how it can impact our Lives through Family and Work. I also give my personal experiences around alcohol and why I am not a huge fan of it.
I finish off the episode with a good ol fashion ramble as well as talking about what i’ve learned over the past week at the StrongFirst Barbell Course and how I am going to implement my learnings.
