Brendan Foster CBE (born 12 January 1948)[1] is a British former long-distance runner who founded the Great North Run. He won the bronze medal in the 10,000 metres at the 1976 Summer Olympics, and the gold medal in the 5,000 metres at the 1974 European Championships and the 10,000 metres at the 1978 Commonwealth Games. The man is a legend and he is also on of our coaches (Rob Foster) Uncle so Rob managed to get him on a talk for our Endurance team. I loved pretty much every second of his talk and as I was listening back to it thought it would be fun to debunk his mindset so thats what I have done. Hope you enjoy the show.

The time is fast approaching when the “New InnerFight” will open and we are getting an increasing amount of questions so here is a quick show that answers the more frequently asked questions and gives you an insight into what we have been working on for you.

People are afraid and that is understandable. For the last few months we have been confined to our homes and listened to the media tell us how dangerous and deadly COVID 19 is. But then in the next moment facilities open up and we are expected to hop back like nothing ever happened. Meanwhile the campaigns to get us back have been images of fogging machines and people in hazmat suits. It's no surprise people are scared of going out never mind exercising in gyms and high contact environments. In this show we look to the science of all this fogging and sanitization and leave a number of points that the general population can do to make this situation better. Hop on board folks as fitness is the answer.

15 years ago there was no “box”, you walked into gyms and nobody smiled at you or knew your name. CrossFit was a huge force behind breaking that down. At these challenging times lets also remember the good times that this brand has given us all, the lives it has changed and the livelihoods it has created. We do not agree or support the recent comments of the CEO of CrossFit, however in this show we remember the good times and talk about how the future may look. I am sure this is not the last time we will discuss this topic on the show.

As we emerge from lockdown and people restart their outdoor fitness we have seen an insane amount of people running. They are running for all the same reasons that it is the most powerful tool we have but they may not know it. Last weekend I gave this talk to a group in the UK and was asked on social media to share the talk, we have gone one better and I recorded the talk again as a podcast for you guys. I am sure the show will resonate with many of you. Are you a 1, 2 or 3 when it comes to running? Enjoy the show. Marcus

Is this or isn’t it the million dollar question right now. In fact between the time of recording or publishing this show gyms in Dubai and or around the world may have opened. Some have already. But what does it look like? Are we running or wanting to run back to new gyms because we are missing our gym buddies? Are we excited about working out with all the new restrictions that may or may not be enforced? Or are we pretty happy wit working out at home and the results we have got from that over the last 12 weeks? All of these questions answered for you in this show and for sure a few more thoughts provoked as to what you workout, how you enjoy working out and what working out may be for you in the short term and longer term. Thanks for listening to the show. Marcus

Hanan Wehbi was on our show in 2014 and although it has taken us 6 years to get her back on she is still as valuable as ever. In this show we talk all things from distractions to looking good naked before Hanan drops us an absolute beauty as she says we can solve many problems by just removing emotions. It is always amazing to chat to Hanan as she has so many thought provoking thoughts and delivers them in such a unique way. This conversation (as many podcasts are) was the result of a few whatsapp’s and 48 hours later we were recording. Thank you Hanan for your time. Enjoy the show folks.

The world never stopped spinning but everything ground to a halt almost like a large ship coming to a stand still. We all knew things would start to move again but no one knew nor does really know what is going to happen next. In this show I talk about data and the fact that in the last year I have read several articles about data theft and peoples fear of who is listening to their phones but when I asked people if they would use a data tracking app to cure Corona the majority said yes. We have also heard rumors about a vaccine becoming available within 12-18 months, however it normally takes around 10 years to develop a vaccine, would you be keen to be one of the first to have a shot? And then for all the positive impact we have seen on the environment lately there is a legit fear as increased hygiene seems to mean increased plastic so are we better staying home? Enjoy the show!

Every Sunday InnerFight Endurance hold “Sunday Sessions” which is an hour chat about life, races and adventures. Last week I joined Tom Walker to chat about our ride across the Wahiba Desert on Fat Bikes in 2018. I got my first taste for Wahiba back in 2014 and have since run across this 145km baron land and ridden a fat bike over it. It is truly a unique place, you don’t see anyone, the sand is soft, the sun is hot and the dunes just keep rolling. In this show we talk about the joy of adventure, of just doing something with some mates and having a great time whilst at the same time pushing our bodies and minds. Thanks for listening, enjoy the show.
