The Physiology of Endurance Running Podcast

35:24

Let’s talk about adulting— actual adulting. Not just paying bills or keeping a houseplant alive, but the kind that involves emotional maturity, healthy boundaries, and conscious self-leadership. Because let’s be honest, most of us weren’t taught how to be fully functioning adults… and it shows. Joining us is Michelle Chalfant , licensed therapist turned holistic life coach, creator of The Adult Chair® model, and author of the new book The Adult Chair: Get Unstuck, Claim Your Power, and Transform Your Life . With millions reached through her podcast, coaching programs, and retreats, she’s here to walk us through the five pillars of being a healthy, grounded adult. Here’s the truth: being an adult isn’t about checking boxes or pretending you’re fine. It’s about owning your truth. Feeling your feelings. Practicing compassion without letting yourself off the hook. It’s about setting firm boundaries—with no need for justification—and recognizing that your triggers are not flaws, they’re clues. None of us were handed a guidebook for how to grow up emotionally. We inherited patterns from people who were figuring it out as they went. But what Michelle shares today is empowering: it’s never too late to unlearn what no longer serves you and become the adult you were meant to be. Whether you’re starting this work or knee-deep in your personal development era, this episode will meet you where you are—and help you move forward with clarity, self-trust, and strength.

Dan & Owain are delighted to welcome Dr Andy Shaw to the podcast. Andy is the Senior Physiologist for UK Athletics - working with some of the best athletes on the planet as they prepare for major events. The discussion begins with some reflections from Andy on his PhD - which he completed at Loughborough University and investigated running economy, a topic often talked about on the podcast. They then turn to Andy's role with UKA, talking through what the role entails, some of his day-to-day work, the support UKA offers to athletes. We think Andy gives us some great insights into how scientists work with athletes and coaches, and how technology can be applied in different ways based on the athlete and their needs.

We're back, like your favourite sitcom, with a Christmas Special. Dan & Owain answer some listener questions! Before diving in some talk about nasal strips - an accessory popping up in a lot of races recently. Do they actually work, should you use them yourselves? Then it's on to questions. Loads of topics are covered - thanks for sending in a question, and sorry if yours wasn't covered this time! Thanks for all the support this year - loads more to come in 2025!
