The Bevan James Eyles Show - The Fitness Behaviour Podcast Bevan James Eyles

Last weekend we had the Christchurch Marathon. It was an amazing day for our half marathon group.
 
We had the most PB’s we have ever had and some people had ‘once in a lifetime performances’.
 
I’ve been reflecting on why we had so many great performances within our team. There are things we know…
 
- Our group training helps people get to their next level.
- Our coaches are experienced and are amazing at guiding and supporting our runners.
- Our runners care about each other and want each other to succeed.
- Our programme prepares our runners for success.
 
After reflecting on this, and those of our runners who nailed their race, I realised there was a key to their performance that was common across these runners and it can teach us an important lesson about high performance.  
 
In this week’s video I teach you how you can become a higher performer in areas of your life that are important to you.

In New Zealand, the Covid lockdown period had a positive effect on many people’s fitness.
 
A lot of people who didn’t normally exercise suddenly had more time, so they used this time to go for a walk, a run or do some other form of exercise.
 
People were getting fitter, feeling good about themselves physically, and enjoying the benefits of regular exercise.
 
This could have been a life changing time….
 
But when life went back to normal what do you think happened?
 
These people fell away from the exercise habit they had built.
 
This lockdown period teaches some really valuable lessons around why people aren’t exercising and how things need to be done differently.
 
In this week’s video, I teach you a better way to approach bringing exercise into your life, in a way that can be maintained no matter what the conditions of your life may be.

The last quarter of a half marathon is tough.
 
As a coach, I want to make sure our half marathon runners know how to respond in a way that will:
 
1. Deliver the result they want
2. Help them make the best decisions in these tough moments
3. Get them to the finish line in a way they can be proud of
 
We have a mental technique we teach our runners which helps them win these tough moments and it’s very simple and effective!


This week I teach you this technique so you can get better at ‘winning’ tough moments in your life.

Are you a career driven person or business owner that is compromising your health due to the demands of your work life?
If you are, this week’s video is for you.

I share some interesting, and scary insights that I gained from an interview I did recently, around the cost of not looking after your health when you are a workaholic.
If you know you are putting your health last due to your work, watch this video.

I'm keeping it simple this week.
 
I'm sharing a story from my life that inspired me to start a hobby that has been crucial to me.
 
If you feel you need something more in your life, this video is for you.

This week, one of our runners came up to me for some weight-loss advice.


During our discussion, I asked the question “Why do you think you are overweight?”.
 
It was obvious that they hadn’t thought about this question as they didn’t have an answer.
 
They looked a bit lost.
 
I suggested that they have to think about this and find a possible answer or answers, because it’s important to figure out the real problem/s lying behind this issue for them that may need to be solved.
 
A lot of people think a weight-loss journey is solely about food and exercise.

While these 2 things are important, there are often (and not always obvious) bigger problems to solve, and if you get on top of these you have a higher chance of success.
 
In this week’s video, I share why this is an important question to explore before you start a weight-loss journey and the steps you can take which will help set you on the right path.
