We explore how small, smart strength work and flexible habits can make running feel better, hurt less, and fit real life. Allyson shares behaviour-change tools from her probation work, a candid story of burnout, and a practical approach to food that leaves room for joy.

• Allyson’s non-traditional path into coaching and running
• Behaviour change principles that transfer from probation to performance
• Why runners neglect strength and how to fix it
• Simple home-based strength moves for hips, glutes and core
• Progression, recovery timing and weekly structure
• Growth mindset versus fixed mindset for endurance
• Habit strategies that reduce friction and build consistency
• Nutrition lessons from overtraining and under-eating
• “All foods fit” approach for sustainable weight loss and energy
• Key takeaways and preview of part two

Don’t forget to tune in to part two next week, or if you’re listening in the future, check out both interviews in our catalog
