Chris and James' have known each other since we’ve university, a big in-between seeing each other led to a reunion running in the lakes and 'WeMove' was born and an exploration started that would see stops across the globe.

    62. From dying twice, to the CrossFit games twice - with Spencer Whiteley

    Spencer Whiteley has been doing CrossFit now around 11 years after he stumbled across a CrossFit box whilst looking for a new gym soon after leaving the Army following 15 years of service. He left the Army due to a near fatal injury whilst serving in Iraq in 2007. He needed 3 years in rehabilitation, and then once he could (just about) walk he was medically discharged from the Army. Having a long history of sport and physical exercise since school, it was only natural for him to speak out physical exercise. After starting CrossFit where he couldn't do an air squat or jump onto a box he has gone from strength to strength and is about to return to CrossFit games for his second appearance. He has a full time job whilst also running a CrossFit box with his wife. Showing what can be done with a clear goal and focus. This is a fantastic story, just don't expect him to help you hitch hike. * Follow Spencer on IG: https://www.instagram.com/spencer_whiteley/ Spencer's fundraising T-shirt: https://unbranded-apparel.co.uk/products/whiteley-games-tee Our IG: https://www.instagram.com/normalisedactivity/

    61. The quest for fitness 2.0 - with Kegan Dillon & Michael Blevins

    We sat down and spoke with Michael Blevins, one half of Non Prophet, and Kegan Dillon a regular contributor to the output of Non Prophet. The conversation will go where it goes and it traveled! Fitting for two people who have looked into, written about and created discussion about endurance and the ability to endure. We did not have to endure this conversation though as the time flew.  Topics covered include; the separate yet overlapping entities that are fitness and health, what they might be and how 'industry' changes/shapes them. ChatGPT and its effect on programming, what is the 'Space Program’, and the shifting shades and sounds of Non Prophet and other personal thoughts and gems that will require 'listening to'. * Kegan - https://www.instagram.com/kegandillon/ Michael - https://www.instagram.com/gritandteeth/ The Space Program - https://www.nonprophet.media/members-signup
