*Warning - she might blow your mind about the contraction of the diaphragm and how it alters during the contraction itself!!!!!The first time we had Jill Miller (author of Body by Breath) on the podcast we were blown away by the response from the podcast listeners. I wasn’t surprised as I’d read Jill’s book and interviewed her for my own book (out in 2026), so I knew how much passion, knowledge and wisdom she has to share on all things breathing and the nervous system.The first episode flew by for me and Jill and as soon as we came off air the first time we said we need to do a part 2. But I’ve been on many podcast where we say that to each other at the end, and it never happens. But this was different, we share a passion for breathing, teaching and coaching it and the conversation needed to continue… with the response from the listeners we knew we need to make it happen fast… so here we are with Jill Miller back for more!Learn more about Jill Miller Events & Online Classes - https://www.tuneupfitness.com/jill-miller-scheduleJill Miller Online Immersion - https://www.tuneupfitness.com/shop/online-course/body-by-breathLinks mentioned:EASTER25 Offer: 25% off Pro Breathwork 3 Best Programmes - https://www.probreathwork.com/easter259-11th May 2025 Oxygen Advantage Certification Retreat - https://www.probreathwork.com/certification

We had a plan, a very detailed plan, one that if I followed would mean I'd run none stop for 24hrs covering 80miles up and down 8,000m of elevation on Yr Wyddfa aka Mount Snowdonia at the 3rd Annual #Snowdon24 event. In this podcast episode, I dive into the lessons learned from these types of ultra events and how those lessons can transcend into other areas of our life. I hope the lessons that the event taught me this time around can also be helpful for you. Thank you to podcast sponsors HMN24 for giving Between Breaths podcast listeners 10% off all there products.

On July 13th I'll be taking part once again in one of the BEST Ultra events in the UK, the Snowdon24 challenge. Very simply you go as fast as you can, for as long as you can within a 24 hour period up and down the Llanberis path to the top of Yr Wyddfa (aka Snowdon) and back down. Up and down is '1 rep' and has around 1,000m of elevation and 10miles for each rep! Last year I managed 6 reps and the winner hit 8 reps... so guess how many I'm aiming for this year?! I'll give you a clue... I'm asking for 8 people to come and support me on a rep, walk, jog, run with me to help support me and the brain injury charity Head of Change that I'm supporting and raising money for again.
