    It was a true eye-opener for me. I have known Grant for years, and it has never crossed my mind he might be affected by depression.

  • 66. Andy Stroke of Luck - From a Stroke Survivor to Ultramarathon Runner
    Nov 19 2020
    In Feb 2017 Andy had a significant stroke. It was a cryptogenic one, with no particular reason behind it.
    You can say he was just unlucky.
    As you can imagine, it was a very traumatic and painful experience. He had to learn how to walk, and for a long time, Andy has lost the ability to do what he loves the most, ride his bike. But he didn't give up.
    He has managed to channel all his energy on the recovery process.
    And he did it!
    Now he describes the stroke as the best thing could ever happen to him: he is wiser, more robust, tougher, more compassionate and mentally fitter human than ever!
    This is his incredible story.

    Fun Run - Running Workout with Joanna #6 - This is a Wrap Up - Breathing, Body Position, Speed Play (Fartlek)


    Welcome to the last episode of the Fun Run series! This is a running workout series which you can take for your run to have a little bit structure and do something different than usual.

    I recorded it as a simple experiment. I shared it with few people, and they enjoyed it so I am sharing this with you. If this is your first episode, I suggest going back to episode no1.

    This session is a summary of everything we have learned in the last 5 runs! We are going to go review all the elements: breathing, technique, speed and we will have a speed play too!

    Hope you enjoy it! I am looking forward to hearing from you.

  • 61. POWER & LIPSTICK SERIES - Pedaling Around The Globe with Katie Paterson, Endurance Racing, Pushing The Limits and Being a Mum
    May 15 2020
    Welcome to Fitness Soul Podcast. This is Power & Lipstick series where I (Joanna Weintritt) invite inspiring women to share their story.

    In today's podcast, my guest is Katie Paterson. Katie is a marketing consultant endurance nutter and a Fitmama.

    I know Katie for over a year as she joined our Fitness Soul gang and Fitmamas classes after having a baby.

    In this podcast, Katie and I are going back in time a little bit and we are talking about Katie's life before the baby and her amazing journey.

    Four years ago, Katie and now-husband Euan, embarked on an adventure to cycle around the world. 22,000km, 31 countries, 4 continents, and 11 months later, they arrived back in the UK having powered themselves around the globe with their own two legs. Now living in Leith, with baby Archie, Katie and Euan continue to challenge themselves physically albeit a little closer to home.

    As well as looking after Archie, Katie has trained as a fitness instructor and hopes to start delivering FitMamas classes to mums locally soon. She also offers flexible freelance marketing and communications support to small business in sport and fitness.

    In this podcast, we also talk about endurance racing, pushing the limits, about consistency, mindset, being kind for yourself and about getting stronger. We finish off talking about how things changed for her when she became a mum.
    I hope you enjoy this podcast and it will make you realise that you can achieve and experience things you always dreamed about.
