Jimmy Carr: How To Fix Your Mind, Stop Overthinking & Take Control (E445)

Award-winning comedian, writer, and television host Jimmy Carr has made millions of people laugh by saying the things most of us wouldn’t dare say out loud. But behind the jokes is a mind constantly wrestling with confidence, anxiety, control and the pressure to keep performing. He joins Jake and Damian for an unusually revealing conversation about what it actually takes to build confidence, why humour can give us perspective when life gets difficult, and how quickly our minds can spiral when we feel out of control. Jimmy gets brutally honest about his own struggles with anxiety, why “self-confidence without competence is delusion”, and the simple things he’s learned to do when his mind starts working against him. From the stage to the darkest moments in his own head, Jimmy offers a different perspective on what it means to live with uncertainty, handle discomfort and keep moving forward, without taking yourself, or your thoughts, too seriously.

Your Running Form Is Slowing You Down | Bronson Hearn-Smith

Want to run faster? The secret might not be running further or training harder, but learning to move differently. At just 16 years old, Bronson Hearn-Smith is already one of Britain’s most exciting young sprinting talents. A European U18 200m champion, record-breaking sprinter and viral sensation, Bronson has captured millions of views with his effortlessly smooth running style, and his remarkable rise has even seen him sign with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Talent Agency. But what makes him so fast, and what can runners of any distance learn from him? In this episode, Bronson shares the training principles behind his explosive speed, from plyometrics and strength work to simple drills and running mechanics that help him generate more power, move efficiently and make running fast look effortless. He also reveals why recovery, knowing when to ease off and training smarter rather than harder are just as important as the sessions themselves. Whether you’re chasing a faster 5K, a marathon PB or simply want to become a stronger, more confident runner, Bronson’s approach to speed could change the way you train.

Christian Horner: Red Bull Betrayal, Geri’s WARNING & Unfinished Business in F1 (E443)

Former Red Bull Racing team principal and one of Formula 1’s most recognisable figures, Christian Horner spent 23 years building a life around winning. So when he lost the job he had done for two decades, his first feeling wasn’t anger. It was relief. Christian opens up about the pressure of leading Red Bull through its most successful era, the emotional armour he built to protect his team, and the toll of always being the person who couldn’t show weakness, from the intensity of Abu Dhabi 2021 to the politics that eventually changed how he felt about the sport he loved. But when the “Batman suit” finally came off, Christian had to confront a question he’d spent decades avoiding: who are you when the job that defined you disappears? What he found was a life beyond the pit wall, and a reminder that being on this earth isn’t a dress rehearsal. DRIVE by Christian Horner will be published on 22nd October by Bantam: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1911754785 Christian will be sharing stories from the book on tour across the UK (Nottingham Mon 19th, Bath 20th, London 26th October).

Richard Hammond: Life After Top Gear & Turning Down the BBC (E444)

When Jeremy Clarkson was sacked from Top Gear, Richard Hammond was offered something most presenters could only dream of: the chance to take control of the show. He said no. For Richard, Top Gear was never about one person, it was about the three of them, and he wasn’t prepared to step into Clarkson’s place alone. Richard reflects on 26 years on the road and the personal cost of a life spent constantly somewhere else. After losing his father, his marriage and his home, he found himself confronting a question every broadcaster eventually faces: who are you when the cameras stop rolling? Now, he’s poured his energy and own money into The Smallest Cog, his classic car restoration business. It may not have made him richer, but it has given him something more important: a life and a business built entirely on his own terms. Richard Hammond’s Workshop, S6 is available on QUEST from Tuesday 27th October, and also streaming on discovery+ Vitality 👉 We've partnered with Vitality because our philosophies align perfectly: healthy habits build high performance and can lead to a healthier, longer life.

Hitting the Wall: Fuel, Fatigue & When to Stop | Extra Mile

Is hitting the marathon wall inevitable, or are you running straight into it? Spencer Matthews and Oli Patrick unpack what happens when your energy runs low, how pacing and fueling can make or break your race, and why your gut needs training just like your legs. They also tackle the mental side of the wall: when should you push through discomfort, and when is your body telling you to stop? Because getting to the finish line starts long before race day.

Why You Can't Stop Comparing Yourself

Dina Asher-Smith, Alex Albon, Nick Cox, Richard Osman and Phil Heath help Jake and Damian take on the struggle we hear about from you more than almost any other: comparing your real life to everyone else's highlight reel. Even the people at the very top aren't immune. Dina explains why she deliberately avoids watching what her rivals do in training. Alex Albon opens up on how measuring himself against Max Verstappen at Red Bull pushed him to force it, and how that unravelled his confidence. Nick Cox, former head of the Manchester United academy, explains why comparison "cripples parents", and Richard Osman reminds us we judge other people's highlights against our own blooper reel. Marcus Wareing and Jameela Jamil also feature. Jake admits that professionally he compares himself everywhere he looks, and argues that envy can be a useful energy source. Damian isn't so sure, and shares the school-fair penalty shootout that turned him into prime Peter Schmeichel. Along the way they get into why silver medallists tend to be less happy than bronze medallists, why we underestimate how much other people are struggling, and why it's what's on your screen, not how long you look at it, that does the damage. They finish with practical ways to curate your feed, your inner circle and your environment, because knowing you shouldn't compare yourself doesn't make it any easier to stop. If comparison is something you wrestle with, tell us what helps you. Your comment might be exactly what someone else needs to hear.

TOP RATED | Nico Rosberg: The F1 Champion Who Disappeared (E414)

Nico Rosberg spent 31 years building his identity around a single goal to become Formula 1 World Champion. In this episode Nico reveals the stark reality of achieving his ultimate dream, explaining why his 2016 triumph brought relief rather than euphoria and why he walked away from a £100m+ fortune at his absolute peak. He strips back the curtain on his legendary, fierce rivalry with childhood friend Lewis Hamilton, describing the psychological warfare of their title fights and the conscious rewiring required to stop yielding in wheel-to-wheel battles. Nico also opens up about his secret mental training regime at a time when psychology was viewed as a weakness. From his foot violently shaking on the accelerator in Abu Dhabi to reframing failure in a locked hotel room, he shares a masterclass on how to train your reaction to fear. This episode offers a raw, gripping look at the psychological cost of winning at all costs and what it truly takes to conquer your inner critic.

Emily Jane Fairs on Marathon Underfuelling Risks & Running Mentality

Eating more helped Emily Fairs become a better runner. Going from never seeing herself as a runner to completing marathons and 100km ultras in just two years, she discovered that better fueling could mean more energy, faster sessions and stronger recovery. Emily shares how running transformed her relationship with food after years of restriction and bingeing, and why learning to fuel properly became just as important as the training itself. From eating more to believing in herself, Emily explains how giving your body what it needs can change both how you run and what you believe you're capable of.

What GLP-1 Weight Loss Drugs Do to Your Running Performance | Extra Mile

If you lose 5kg, does that make you a better runner? Not necessarily. Spencer Matthews and Oli Patrick unpack why what you lose matters more than how much, and why dropping body weight doesn't automatically translate into better performance. For runners, trying to get lighter while trying to get faster can mean chasing two competing goals. From losing muscle and under-fuelling to the rise of GLP-1 drugs, this episode asks a more important question: are you losing weight, or are you losing what you need to run well?
