brill podcast as always. smashed my interval runs whilst listening, a good motivator, so much better to listen to your talks than same songs over n over again. happy New year girls and keep podcasting 🙂
Awesome episode. It contains information everyone should know!
Thanks for all this lovely work!!! loved listening to and reflecting upon every topic raised, very interesting talks and people!! trully motivating! One topic I would love to hear if possible in the future is about the impact health watch monitors have brought to our daily life (I turn a bit paranoid with looking at my heart rate when exercise- sometimes overexercising when monitor goes inaccurate)

You guys and your guests are great! Zanna - inspired by your excellent book Strong- and have just signed myself up for a gym instruction course. (I'm 52)
Love these! They have been great! Loved hearing your views on training vs rest days and how we need them. Also you are changing what is healthy and what we should thrive too. I don't even give magazines the time of day when they advertise crash diets or pills! Strong is healthy not skinny! Food is life not something to fear! X
