    Candice Brathwaite: Activating 'Miss Trunchbull' Mode to Get Runs Done is a Form of Self Love

    This is our final episode in a very special series - powered by Nike - where we’re exploring all the many wonderful things that running can do for you, via chats with inspiring women. Today’s seriously energising guest - bestselling author, content creator and erstwhile marathon runner Candice Brathwaite - recently picked up running again, albeit shorter distances on her home treadmill. She runs to access what she calls 'tension'. By that she means a type of controllable struggle that encourages personal growth in all areas of life, which - in her words - she just can't get from any other form of fitness. Candice also discusses learnings from writing her latest book, YA fiction debut, Cuts Both Ways and why, when it comes to helping her daughter and stepdaughter enjoy a healthy relationship with fitness, she's leading by example - rather than telling them what to do. Oh, and if you're looking for the pep talk you need to stop standing in your own way and actually action those healthy habits, Candice shares *exactly* what she tells herself to get the thing done. Candice is joined in the coaching clinic by Nike Run Coach and youth mentor Dora Atim (who we met in episode four) to get advice on how she can reach her number one running goal right now: to run a 5k in 25 minutes.

    Andrea McLean: I'm Finally Approaching my Goals like a Marathon, not a Sprint

    Hi there! This season, powered by Nike, we're homing in on all things running. You can expect powerful stories from extraordinary women, guaranteed to spark your motivation this back-to-school season. In today's episode, Roisín is joined by broadcaster-turned-start up founder Andrea McLean, whose newfound approach to navigating her life and goals offers a timely tribute to the 26.21 mile course that 40,000 people in London made their way around last weekend. Following breakdown and burnout in 2019, the former daytime TV star and mum-of-two left a decades-long career to retrain as a coach and create her own mindset community and app,This Girl is On Fire. Here, Andrea reflects on the brutal lessons that reaching rock bottom taught her, plus how, at 53, she's finding rebuilding her much-loved running routine trickier than ever. She also shares dispatches from the frontline of running a business with her fitness-mad husband, and the reason she's trying to un-invite her ego from her treadmill sessions. For this week's coaching clinic, Andrea speaks with Lloyd Kempson - Nike Run Coach and UK Athletics endurance specialist - to discover the training and mindset tools that could help her find her stride with running again.

    Dora Atim: Why I Founded a Trail Run Collective Exclusively for Black Women

    Hello! This season, powered by Nike, we're homing in on all things running. You can expect powerful stories from extraordinary women - guaranteed to spark your motivation this back-to-school season - plus plenty of expert tips and tactics.   In today's episode Roisín is joined by Nike Run Coach Dora Atim. As a teen, battling body dysmorphia, Dora never would have imagined that running would prove the conduit for finding self-acceptance and self-love. And yet, a decade later, she’s so passionate about the benefits of putting one foot in front of the other that - from run coaching to youth mentoring - much of her career is built around passing those benefits on.    Here she shares insights from that evolution, alongside the painful moment in summer 2020 that made her realise that - for many Black women and non-binary people to enjoy the nourishing power of rural areas - a community needed to be created. And how, with her trail running collective Ultra Black Running, she’s carved out a space for joy to thrive. In today's Coaching Clinic, Dora offers up answers to your personal running dilemmas.

A long-time champion of moving your body to support your mental health, Katie discusses how running increased her self-belief and why - crucially - it could do the same for you.   In today's Coaching Clinic, Katie is joined by Nike Run Coach and top physiotherapist Manni Ovola.

    Intisar Abdul-Kader: Cultural Ignorance or Chronic Illness Won't Stop Me Running

    Hey! This season, powered by Nike, we're homing in on all things running. You can expect tips and tactics from Nike run coaches to elevate your own running practice - or build one from scratch. Plus, powerful stories from extraordinary women guaranteed to spark your motivation this back-to-school season. For today’s guest, NHS mental health worker Intisar Abdul-Kader, running is a privilege and a joy. Especially so given the various barriers she’s faced on her way to running multiple World Marathon Majors races. She shares with Roisín how running enabled her to process her Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis - and continues to help her manage the chronic condition. She also explains how a destabilising incident of racist, Islamaphobic abuse while out running in 2020 has ultimately strengthened her resolve to show up - unapologetically - as a Black, hijabi runner. And encourage other women like her to lace up their trainers and access the transformative benefits that running - for whatever distance; at whatever speed - can bring. In today’s Coaching Clinic, Intisar is joined by Nike Run Coach Andi Goceva. She provides Intisar with all the tips she needs to smash her next big race.

    Ella Dove: How Running on a Blade Helped Me Celebrate my Body as an Amputee

    Hey everyone, we're back! This season, powered by Nike, we're homing in on all things running. You can expect tips and tactics from Nike run coaches to build or elevate your own running practice, whatever your level. Plus, powerful stories from extraordinary women - some familiar, some not so - guaranteed to spark your motivation this back-to-school season. In today's episode, Roisín is joined by journalist and author Ella Dove. Ella lost her lower right leg in a freak accident, aged just 25. The word ‘inspirational’ is seriously overused, but if any adjective characterises her journey since that day, it’s exactly that. Whatever your personal barrier to getting what you want out of your body, mind and life right now, you might just perceive it a little differently after listening to her story. In today's Coaching Clinic, Ella is joined by Nike Run Coach and top physiotherapist Manni Ovola. He arms her with the tools she needs to really go for her own running goals: to run more evenly and break through the 5k barrier.

    Mission Confidence: Alice Liveing and WH’s Claire Sanderson on Building Ageless Confidence + Finding Strength on the Inside

    Welcome to Mission Confidence, a special edition of the Going For Goal podcast sponsored by Philips that’s designed to help you on your body confidence journey. This podcast has been created as part of our Project Body Love initiative, which is all about challenging the way we think, feel and speak about our bodies; embracing what makes us unique and putting an end to negative self-talk and embarrassment. Philips believe that hair removal should be a choice, and it looks different for everyone. If you do choose to remove your body hair, whether you prefer to take it all off or to tackle your legs, armpits or bikini line only, Philips has a range of hair removal tools to suit your needs. And on Mission Confidence, over four episodes and with the help of some very wise women, we’re going to be exploring confidence in its various facets and forms – with the goal of helping you tap into yours. On this final episode of Mission Confidence we’re looking specifically at ageless confidence with two women – one who’s 28, the other who’s 42 – who are both extremely passionate about the topic. They are Women’s Health editor-in-chief Claire Sanderson and three-time WH cover star and PT Alice Liveing. We discuss how confidence can evolve with age and experience – and how both women have noticed that, as they’ve gotten older, they’re better equipped to find confidence and strength from what’s inside – kindness, resilience, individuality, grit – rather than needing external validation to shore-up their self-esteem. Both seriously fit women discuss the confidence-fuelling power of a workout; why body hair, or the lack of it, doesn’t need to be a statement – and why using the Philips Lumea IPL device is a simple, pain-free solution for helping them achieve the smooth armpits and bikini line they, personally, prefer.   Join Alice Liveing on Instagram: @aliceliveing Join Claire Sanderson on Instagram: @clairesanderson Join Roisín Dervish-O’Kane on Instagram: @roisin.dervishokane https://www.instagram.com/roisin.dervishokane/ To find out more visit philips.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

Today we’re discussing the self-esteem-bolstering power of expressing yourself through fashion with Sonny Turner, a 22-year-old Birmingham-born model and body positivity advocate. Whether she’s stepping down the runway at NY fashion week or posing up a storm on her IG grid, you’ll know her as bold, confident and committed to sharing the message that women of all shapes and sizes should feel empowered to experiment with fashion and wear what they want, when they want. Here, Sonny reveals the body image wobbles she’s experienced over the course of the pandemic and how pulling together new outfits, and leaning into workouts, has helped her get excited about the unlocked summer ahead. She also shares how experimenting with the Philips Lumea at home IPL device is helping her get the smooth armpits she prefers – without irritation.
