This week I'm joined by the one and only Oli aka El Burrito Monster. The food content creator who accidentally became an absolute running machine. We talk losing six stone by running 10K every day, going from a 30-minute 5K to 20min in five days, running a 2:52 London Marathon at 102 kilos, and his latest Berlin Marathon where he tried to go sub-three on basically no training (really unhinged bloke).Follow Oli: https://www.instagram.com/elburritomonster/?hl=enWatch on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3WGIXQz6Pa0V9WIa4gIxOV?si=e19d4acb7b964eebFollow on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@motionalintelligencepod Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/motionalintelligencepodCalum's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calumgoddard/Calum's TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@calumgoddard YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UC4g2mhwrlRBzXhAsyXVWz4A Contact: [email protected]

I'm joined by Cole Gibbens to break down his London Marathon debut, where he ran 2:16 as a first-timer! We get into the training mistakes that led to a stress responses, the reality of disordered eating and under fueling in the men's running scene, and a hands-on look at the newly released Adidas Pro 5 - how it compares to the Pro 4 and what it means for race day. Raw, honest conversation about the parts of running nobody talking about enough.Cole: https://www.instagram.com/colerunning/?hl=en-gb Watch on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3WGIXQz6Pa0V9WIa4gIxOV?si=e19d4acb7b964eebFollow on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@motionalintelligencepod Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/motionalintelligencepodCalum's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calumgoddard/Calum's TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@calumgoddard YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UC4g2mhwrlRBzXhAsyXVWz4A Contact: [email protected]:00 - Welcome & Introductions1:36 - Tonbridge AC & Running Clubs3:54 - Who Is Cole Gibbons?5:20 - Running From a Young Age9:37 - Childhood Running Ambitions12:28 - The Complexity of Running13:08 - What Is an Osteopath?16:23 - Common Running Injuries19:16 - Biomechanics & Social Media20:17 - London Marathon 202522:25 - Elite vs Masses Start25:08 - The Sub-2:20 Barrier26:32 - Race Day Execution28:50 - Heat Training Advantage31:14 - Running Alone on the Mall31:55 - Training Block & E-Scooter Injury34:22 - Typical Training Week - 100 Miles35:31 - Why Double Easy Runs37:53 - Discipline & Running as Lifestyle39:01 - YouTube & Post-London High39:34 - Gold Medal Syndrome40:53 - Berlin Marathon & Mileage Escalation41:37 - Disordered Eating in Running43:02 - Breaking the Cycle45:01 - Fueling Rules for Runners46:31 - Underfueling & Injuries48:46 - Berlin Training - Gut Issues51:09 - Finding a Good Space51:33 - Stress Fracture & Comeback52:54 - Coach Jonny Mellor54:07 - Phantom Pain & MRI Scare55:14 - Overcoming Injury57:38 - Great North Run Comeback58:58 - Less Volume, Better Results59:45 - Great North Run Course Critique1:01:32 - Race Splits & Execution1:03:50 - Nailing the Race - 65:521:04:38 - Next Race Goals - Sub 2:151:05:47 - Working With Videographer Alex Philpot1:08:03 - Shoe Chat - Alphafly 4 & Nike1:11:12 - Training Without Carbon Shoes1:11:42 - Adidas Pro 5 First Impressions1:13:36 - Pro 5 for Heavier Runners1:16:06 - Pro 5 Hands-On in Studio1:17:48 - Catcalling - Girlfriend's Running Experience1:20:55 - What Can Men Do?1:24:52 - Outro & New Podcast

FINALLY! We find out what really happened... This week I sat down with ultra runner Ayyoub El Osrouti AKA Ello. I travelled over to the Another Cotton Lab store in Düsseldorf, Germany just days after he completed one of the most dramatic backyard ultras ever seen... The Last Soul Ultra. Ello ran 93 loops (623.7km) over 4 days, battling Achilles issues, sleep deprivation, hallucinations, and an intense head-to-head rivalry with Mark Dowdle that went viral around the world. This was such a great chat and so so interesting to get inside the head of one of the greatest endurance runners in the world at the moment.Ello: https://www.instagram.com/anotherello/?hl=enFollow on TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@motionalintelligencepod⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/motionalintelligencepod⁠⁠⁠⁠Calum's Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/calumgoddard/⁠⁠⁠⁠Calum's TikTok:⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.tiktok.com/@calumgoddard ⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube channel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@UC4g2mhwrlRBzXhAsyXVWz4A ⁠⁠⁠⁠Contact: [email protected]:00 - Intro: Ello's Last Soul Ultra result00:50 - Welcome to the podcast04:17 - How Ello's body feels after finishing09:07 - Ello's PBs and race highlights (Ironman, London Marathon)12:53 - Introducing the Last Soul Ultra rivalry story19:30 - Bringing in elite coach Sam Harvey30:46 - Back to the start line of this year's race35:10 - The first mental barrier of a 4-day ultra39:06 - The final 14 laps: it gets tense with Mark49:01 - Ello's relationship with Mark Dowdle58:12 - The viral finish line meltdown moment1:03:09 - Fame, attention, and being an athlete vs. an influencer1:06:04 - Room 101: what Ello can't stand about the race1:08:43 - Fan questions: darkest thoughts, hallucinations, and more1:16:36 - What's next for Ello: Moab 240
