    THE PERFORMANCE LAB – Week 3 Built Under Pressure: How Great Athletes Respond to Adversity

    Send us Fan Mail Everybody loves the highlight reel: PRs, podiums, and race photos. But what actually builds great athletes? Pressure. Adversity. Failure. Fatigue. The moments when things don’t go according to plan. In Week 3 of The Performance Lab, James is joined by Rocky and Coach Lauren to break down the mental side of performance and why adversity often becomes the greatest catalyst for growth. The crew dives into:  • Why pressure reveals preparation  • The difference between discomfort and danger  • Why one bad workout doesn’t define you  • Mental toughness vs reckless training  • HYROX, compromised running, and composure under fatigue  • Why consistency matters more than emotional training  • Learning to stay calm when everything starts getting hard This episode is for every athlete who’s ever struggled through a bad race, doubted themselves during training, or wondered if hard seasons were actually worth it. Because comfort hides weaknesses.  Pressure exposes them.

    THE PERFORMANCE LAB Week 2 | The Growth Zone: Why Comfort Never Creates Speed

    Send us Fan Mail Everybody wants to get faster… until training gets uncomfortable. In Week 2 of The Performance Lab, James is joined once again by returning guest cohost Coach Tommy to break down why real growth only happens when you step outside your comfort zone, strategically. This episode dives into the difference between hard training and reckless training, why easy runs still matter, and how runners and HYROX athletes alike must learn to adapt mentally and physically to stress, fatigue, heat, hills, threshold work, and discomfort. The guys also discuss:  • Why consistency beats random heroic workouts  • The science behind adaptation and performance  • How HYROX and endurance racing teach composure under fatigue  • Why most athletes stay stuck in the “comfortable zone”  • How to push your limits without burning out If you’ve been training hard but not improving, this episode may explain why. “Comfort maintains. Stress adapts.” Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts   Spotify Support the show Become a member and support the show: https://patreon.com/RunningwithJames?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=join_link

    The Performance Lab: Stop Working Out, Start Training Like an Athlete

    Send us Fan Mail Welcome to the first episode of The Performance Lab, a new Running With James series focused on building better athletes from the inside out. In this episode, we break down the difference between simply working out and actually training with purpose. We dive into the mindset shift that changes everything: training in phases, building with intention, focusing on long-term growth, and becoming the kind of athlete capable of real performance. Because better results don’t come from doing more…  They come from doing the right things, at the right time, for the right reasons. We cover: Why most athletes plateauTraining emotionally vs intentionallyThe importance of phases in trainingRecovery, structure, and consistencyWhat it really means to “become the athlete”This episode sets the foundation for the entire Performance Lab series—and for a smarter approach to training moving forward.  QUESTION OF THE DAY:  Do you train like an athlete… or do you just work out?  Subscribe for more coaching, mindset, performance, and hybrid athlete content every week. “When you change your mind… you change your  Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts   Spotify Support the show Become a member and support the show: https://patreon.com/RunningwithJames?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=join_link

    Behind the Coach: Jessica Puts Coach James in the Hot Seat

    Send us Fan Mail Jessica takes over the mic and flips the script, putting Coach James in the hot seat for a conversation you don’t usually get to hear. We go beyond splits and training plans and dive into the real story: the challenges that shaped the journey, the wins that mattered most, and the losses that taught the biggest lessons. Coach James opens up about what fuels his passion, how his motivation has evolved over the years, and the habits that have made the biggest impact on his performance and life. From race-day self-talk to the mindset behind coaching others, this episode pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to build not just strong athletes, but a strong community. We also look ahead at what’s next for BC Fitness and the continued mission of building better athletes inside and out. If you’ve ever wondered what goes on in the mind of a coach when the pressure is on… this one’s for you.
