    When “Just a Bad Back” Isn’t Just a Bad Back

    In this episode of The ZacBow Insight: Beyond the Rep, I take you through the moment everything changed. What started as a small issue during half marathon training quickly turned into something much more serious. From pushing through pain… to experiencing nerve symptoms, numbness, and loss of control—I break down exactly what it felt like, when I knew something wasn’t right, and the journey through physio, scans, and diagnosis. I open up about running the Half Marathon in pain, why I kept going, and how mindset can sometimes push us too far. And having to pull out of the Manchester Marathon 2025. This episode isn’t just about my condition—L5-S1 spondylolisthesis with nerve compression—it’s about understanding the warning signs your body gives you, and what happens when you ignore them. If you’re training in your 30s, 40s, or beyond… this is something you need to hear. This isn’t textbook knowledge. This is lived experience.

    Episode 1 – Training Through Injury | Beyond the Rep

    This is where it starts. In this first episode of The ZacBow Insight: Beyond the Rep, I share my story—training over 40, dealing with injuries, and what happens when your body doesn’t cooperate the way it used to. From Army life to personal training, and now facing spinal surgery, this isn’t about pushing harder—it’s about training smarter. If you’re dealing with injuries, setbacks, or just trying to stay consistent as you get older, this is for you. This is about longevity. Not ego.
