#356 - Why I Created Strong & Prosper: The Gap in Running Coaching Nobody Is Talking About

Most runners have worked with a run coach, a strength coach, or tried to figure it out alone. Very few have worked with someone who genuinely covers all three pillars - strength, mobility, and running (plus the nutrition and mindset work that holds it all together!) In this episode, Meg Walker shares the real story behind Strong and Prosper: the gap she kept seeing in the coaching industry, her own experience of training for over twenty-two marathons and an Ironman while working full time, and why she built a coaching programme designed for athletes who are also full human beings with careers, families, and real lives. If you're a runner thinking about a spring race and wondering whether now is the right time to invest in proper coaching support, this episode will answer that question. Topics covered: why most runners are missing the mobility piece, how strength and running knowledge need to work together, the difference between surviving a race and thriving in it, why September is the most important month for spring race preparation, and how to build a body that stays injury free long term.

#354 - Why Mobility Should Be A Priority For Runners

Most runners treat mobility as an afterthought. But mobility isn't a nice-to-have. It's what determines whether your body can hold its mechanics together when fatigue sets in and everything is working against you.

#346 - Strength Training Won't Make You Bulky. It Will Make You A Better Runner

"I don't want to get heavy." "Won't it slow me down?" These are the questions Coach Meg hears from runners all the time and in this episode, she's setting the record straight. Runner-specific strength training has nothing to do with bodybuilding. It's about building the efficiency, stability, and resilience your running actually depends on and the runners who add it almost always wonder why they waited so long.

#344 - Anyone Can Do Extreme For 8 Weeks

The fitness industry has been largely built on dramatic short-term results. But extreme action is actually the easy part. What's far rarer, and far more impressive, is what you can build and maintain over a year. In this episode, Coach Meg makes the case for playing the long game, because proper change takes time, and the training that supports a good time and a long time will never be found in an eight-week programme.
