Episode 73 officially kicks off 2026…and yes, we’ve got plans.This is the first episode of the year for the MindSets Podcast, and we’re coming in hot with announcements, ambition, and a completely reasonable goal of getting ourselves onto the podcast Mount Rushmore.

No guarantees it stays this efficient forever. From there, we roll into the new episode structure and Grind My Gears, unpacking festive-period frustrations, post-Christmas reality checks, and influencers pushing wildly unrealistic New Year goals purely for likes, validation, and vibes (rather than anything remotely useful). The main chunk of the episode is all about what’s changing at MindSets in 2026, including:- Our goals and standards for the year- Moving to weekly episodes instead of bi-weekly- Posting far more consistently across social platforms- Reintroducing guest episodes with old favourites and new athletes-We wrap things up with the Big Fat Quit of 2026 - a quiz covering the major events coming up this year. The real question: can Charles finally turn over a new leaf and score a point or two in 2026… or will tradition prevail?Higher standards, better structure, bigger ambition, same chaos.#MindSetsPodcast #Podcast2026 #NewPodcastEpisode #MindsetPodcast #FitnessPodcast #PerformancePodcast #UKPodcast #WeeklyPodcast #GoalSetting #ContentCreators #athletemindset ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 - Welcome to 202600:53 - 2 Minute News (no waffle, we promise)02:50 - Grinds My Gears15:33 - Main Topic: Podcast Changes32:25 - Big Fat Quiz of 202651:52 - Episode Wrap Up

🎙️ The MindSets Podcast welcomes endurance athlete and performance coach Ollie Russell (@russellperformancetraining) for a powerful conversation about resilience, redemption, and the pursuit of excellence. Host Angus Cook (@MindSets_Podcast) takes listeners on Ollie’s intense journey—from growing up as a dedicated rugby player to facing life-altering personal challenges that would shape his career and purpose forever.Ollie opens up about a turbulent period in his life, triggered when both his parents were diagnosed with cancer. While his mother fought through and survived, he lost his father, his greatest role model, to the disease. Grieving and searching for direction, Ollie walked away from rugby, threw himself into brutal training sessions as a form of self-punishment, and explored the Marines as an escape. Caught in a cycle of extreme fitness, partying, and substance use, he eventually found a new path in CrossFit and, later, the world of Hyrox. Fast-forward to 2024, and Ollie has not only straightened out his course but set a world record with Team THETA, clocking a 47:33 relay time.This episode explores how Ollie’s journey through loss, intense challenges, and self-discovery became a foundation for his remarkable endurance feats, including a 48-hour burpee world record attempt and six marathons in six days. It’s a raw story of resilience, transformation, and finding purpose through athletic performance.Tune in for an inspiring conversation on:Transforming pain into resilience and purpose 🧠💪The mental and physical demands of extreme endurance sports 🏃‍♂️Insights on training and focus from a Hyrox world record holder 🔥Ollie’s journey from self-destruction to world-class performanceOllie Russel: @russellperformancetrainingInstagram: @mindsets_podcastTikTok: @mindsets_podcastPersonal: @angus_cookEnquiries: [email protected] MindSets Podcast, hosted by Angus Cook, dives deep into the mental strategies, resilience, and motivation of top athletes and fitness professionals.

In this episode of The MindSets Podcast, Angus Cook (@MindSets_Podcast) speaks with Toby Simmons (@tobysimmonsuk), diving deep into his raw and resilient story. After choosing to leave formal education, Toby embraced the seasonnaire lifestyle, heading to the mountains where he discovered ski freestyle and competed among some of the UK’s best at events like the Laax World Champs. Training hard—but admittedly recklessly—in New Zealand, he faced a life-changing injury, breaking his neck and back. Undeterred, Toby returned to seasonal work, but the lifestyle and its toll on his mental health eventually led to a turning point.Following these challenges, Toby shifted his focus, launching an online yoga business during COVID-19. Through this venture, he learned invaluable lessons in business, selling it for profit and moving on to new opportunities, including hybrid athleticism and endurance events like marathons and triathlons. Today, Toby has committed to building his next business, ActiveXplore, selling his belongings and heading to Asia to fully dedicate himself to his vision.
