What’s it like to go from smoking 60 cigarettes on a night out, to waking up the next day and deciding to make a change and take up running. Something as simple as running round the block can literally move you to change your life and that is where this week’s weMove podcast goes. We talk to Simon Freeman, co-founder of running publication Like The Wind magazine.

This episode is about how there is so much more growth to be gained by closing the gap on something you are not good at rather than how much growth you can gain by making incremental gains on those things you are already good at. i.e. looking at the parts of you that you put into the dark to forget about.

What started off in the movement space with our friendship with Logan Gelbrich has led to an increasing understanding as we have got to know him of the culture he and the community are building at the Deuce Gym set up, and more importantly the principles that the culture is based on.

In a culture and a society where we have been encouraged/coerced to hand our innate responsibilities to corporations or other so-called experts, the majority of us have unknowingly handed over the most precious and potent resource we have. Our health.

Health has become a front-page topic these days, but do you know what good health feels like? Today we speak to Alex Johnson, an osteopath, and natural lifestyle coach, to talk about how the body, YOUR body has the ability to maintain its own health and regulate itself providing it is treated like your most prized possession.

The Rewire Project (now Arete Life Lab) is a boutique health and fitness space looks like no other gym we have set foot in, there are no free weights, no treadmills or rowing machines, and yet here you will boost your systemic health, increase your performance and develop the skills to do things that you never perhaps thought you would, getting out of your comfort zone and making the choice whether to thrive or survive.

Our voice is unique to us and often is hidden behind a version of ourselves we think the world wants to see. When we are not ourselves, our voice changes and when we discover our true voice then we step into our self, becoming heard by others and able to communicate clearly the ideas we have and the person we truly are.

Have you had a time in your life when you are managing pain, through a new or old injury or some other kind of pain that just appeared and it has just lingered? Chances are you have had one of those and this week’s episode is absolutely worth a listen.

In this podcast we talk about something that makes us feel good, we as a society struggle to get enough and it is perhaps the most ignored and forgotten point in our day where we process, recover, and regenerate our bodies and minds. I’m talking about sleep.

We catch up with the professional athletes go to sleep coach who are looking for the marginal gains which separate them from the rest, he is called Nick Littlehales and his ideas and concepts have been used by the GB cycling team, Man City football club and many others that we are not able to divulge.

Ron pushed the limits of climbing in Yosemite during the ascendance of the sport and paved the way to some extent of what we see now inspiring climbers of our generation Tommy Caldwell, Alex Honnold to create the next level of what is possible on the soaring granite walls of Yosemite and the wider world.
