This episode is an incredibly powerful and emotional conversation - I’m joined by Amy, a mum, wife, physio, and someone living with Stage 4 cancer.Amy shares her journey from the moment she first realised something wasn’t right, through diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and the unimaginable experience of cancer returning.

Amy shares the lessons she’s learned about life, resilience and what truly matters. Her story is a reminder of how precious life is, and how courage can take many forms.

I’ve been away, I’m back and this is just me saying hello again and introducing the next batch of amazing guest episodes coming across March.

In this episode I’m chatting with my best friend Deb, the owner of (and magic behind) Royle Bakes.

We talk honestly about boundaries, balance, and trying to juggle work, life, relationships, and everything in between.We also get into training and how moving her body supports her confidence, her mindset and even her business.

Val’s journey is one of resilience, personal development and passion for movement. A youth BMX athlete who enjoyed and excelled in her sport with podium finishes, but injuries led her to step away. Through this period, she discovered sports psychology at university, qualified as a sports massage therapist, and eventually found her way into coaching.Now back at Eat Train Live as both a coach and our head sports massage therapist, Val specialises in strength and mobility while helping clients move well and build strength and confidence. Alongside coaching, she continues to chase her own fitness goals in running, trail running, Hyrox and HybridX doubles.In this episode, Kel and Val talk about her journey through sport, the lessons learned along the way, and the importance of coaching, community and pursuing what you love.

Exercise is often seen as a tool to lose weight, get fitter or train for an event but it’s so much more than that. In this week’s solo episode, I (Kel) talk about the benefits of training for your mind, your body and your long-term movement and independence.I talk about improving mental health, resilience, building strength, protecting bone density and that you can get stronger at any age - even 90 - so this is your reminder that it’s never to late and that consistency in training is an investment in your future self.If you want to feel fitter, healthier, happier, stronger, and more confident today and for years to come, this episode will give you the motivation to start and keep showing up.

In this episode, we talk about her progression, becoming a coach, the role of strength training and consistency, and how she balances training, nutrition, recovery and joy in everyday life.

Mindset is the game-changer in any health or fitness journey. In this episode, I share my top tips to help you stay consistent, reframe setbacks and build habits that make fat loss, performance and wellbeing feel achievable… the Eat Train Live way.

What actually happened after working with Kel, and more recently Iwan, is that she discovered a love of training and running, built fitness and strength like never before, and went on to complete half marathons, the London Marathon, and the epic UTS 55K mountain ultra marathon. Kel chats with Mel and her ETL coach Iwan about how structured, personalised coaching, quality training, strong coach-athlete teamwork, communication, celebrating wins, and balancing work, life, and family helped her make it happen.

This week, Kel & Kris sit down to debrief an epic weekend at HybridX. With a marathon and Hyrox on the horizon, Kel shares how training is adapting and what it’s like coming back from injury.

I’m back - the first one back in a while. A solo podcast with me, Kel, taking imperfect messy action, as I encourage others to do & talking about what can hold us all back, whether that’s waiting for motivation, staying in your comfort zone, or having limiting beliefs of stories you tell yourself that keep you stuck.

Talking about the 70 Mile Ultra marathon we did last month, going from Carlisle to Gateshead on foot. Chatting about the training, the why, the journey, the highs and lows, the aftermath and what’s next.

Are you feeling stuck? Are you wanting to make a change? Do you know who you are and where you’re going? Kel talks values, course corrections, and the power of taking small actions & the domino effect.

On this episode I welcome my brother Kristian Evans to the pod, for his podcast debut. Kris is one of my biggest supporters, a family man with an awesome wife and their baby girl, a fellow runner and fitness enthusiast and client of ETL, and works at a high level in the professional world. We talk about family, running, building a career, his journey with fitness, habits and confidence, and finding enjoyment and balance between it all.

Welcome back to the Eat Train Live Podcast. On this episode, I introduce you to ETL Coach Iwan Evans, and he answers questions about himself, how he got into coaching and ultra running, and his motivations and ‘why’ for doing both.

Small actions, Votes for yourself & Coins in the bottle. A reminder to ditch the all or nothing mentality, because something is better than nothing. Featuring a throwback to 90s money saving ways.

Inviting you to ask yourself these questions to help support, maintain and optimise your wellbeing.

A little about what I see coaching as, what I offer as a coach or how I have been coached, why you’d benefit and the important conversations you should be having.

A little about me, my background and why I became a coach, and why I’m here talking to you on this podcast.
