Why You’re Probably Fitter Than You Think

The Confidence Gap: Why You Don’t Need To Believe In Yourself First

Episode 9 of The Consistency Club Podcast explores confidence, self-belief and one of the biggest misconceptions people have when starting a fitness journey - the idea that confidence comes before action. Adam talks about why so many people wait until they feel more confident before joining a gym, entering a race or committing to a healthier lifestyle, and why that approach often keeps people stuck for years. Using personal experiences, coaching stories and relatable analogies, this episode covers: * Why confidence is built, not found * The difference between confidence and evidence * How running gradually changes self-belief * Why overthinking destroys progress * The fear of joining run clubs, gyms and races * Why action creates confidence more reliably than waiting for motivation * The importance of trusting the process * How small wins accumulate over time * Why most people are capable of far more than they realise * The identity shifts that happen through consistent running and fitness habits This episode is a reminder that confidence rarely arrives before you begin. More often, it’s the result of repeatedly showing up, keeping promises to yourself and collecting evidence that you’re capable of more than you think.

Stop Starting Again: Why The “Fresh Start” Mindset Is Keeping You Stuck

Episode 8 of The Consistency Club Podcast is all about the “fresh start” trap and why constantly restarting might be the thing holding you back more than missed runs, bad meals or imperfect weeks ever could. Adam talks about all-or-nothing thinking, perfectionism and the emotional side of setbacks, explaining why so many people believe they’re failing when in reality they’re simply experiencing normal life. Using personal experiences, coaching stories and relatable analogies, this episode covers: * Why people constantly feel like they need to “start again” * The problem with all-or-nothing thinking * Why perfectionism often destroys consistency * How social media creates unrealistic expectations * Why missing one run or having one bad meal means very little * The importance of momentum over motivation * How shame keeps people stuck * Why flexibility matters more than perfection * The difference between setbacks and stopping completely * Why focusing on the next good decision changes everything This episode is a reminder that progress rarely comes from perfect weeks. It usually comes from imperfect weeks where you continue anyway.

The Run You Nearly Skipped (And Why Those Ones Matter Most)

Episode 7 of The Consistency Club Podcast is all about the runs you nearly didn’t do - and why those sessions often matter more than the perfect ones. Adam talks about motivation, procrastination and the mental battle that happens before most runs, especially on busy, stressful or low-energy days. Using personal experiences, relatable stories and coaching examples, this episode explores why consistency is built less through motivation and more through habits, identity and reducing friction. This episode covers: * Why motivation is unreliable * The mental battle before difficult runs * Why the runs you nearly skip often matter most * How habits and routines reduce decision fatigue * The link between running and confidence * Why people wrongly label themselves as “quitters” * How identity changes through repeated actions * Why comfort can hold people back from progress * The difference between listening to your body and listening to excuses * How action creates motivation more reliably than waiting for motivation Through stories from Adam’s own running journey and common client struggles, this episode is a reminder that consistency isn’t about always feeling motivated - it’s about continuing to show up when motivation disappears.

Why You’re Probably Fitter Than You Think

Episode 6 of The Consistency Club Podcast explores a feeling almost every runner experiences at some point - believing they’re not improving, or even worse, thinking they’re going backwards. Adam talks about why runners become emotionally attached to numbers like pace, heart rate and distance, and how those numbers can sometimes tell a very misleading story when taken out of context. Using personal experiences, relatable stories and coaching examples, this episode covers: * Why one bad run doesn’t mean you’ve lost fitness * The emotional side of running and performance * Why pace isn’t the only measure of progress * How stress, sleep, weather and recovery affect your runs * The mistake of attaching self-worth to data and numbers * Why runners constantly move the goalposts on themselves * How confidence and identity gradually change through consistency * Why small wins matter more than people realise * The importance of zooming out and looking at long-term progress This episode is a reminder that progress in running rarely happens in a straight line, and that you’re probably doing far better than you think - you’re just too close to your own journey to always see it.

Why Dieting Keeps Failing You (And What Actually Worked For Me)

Episode 5 of The Consistency Club Podcast focuses on nutrition, appetite and why so many people struggle with dieting long term. Adam talks about his whole-food and high-protein approach to nutrition, why he dislikes aggressive calorie restriction, and how years of dieting culture have left many people stuck in a cycle of restriction, cravings and guilt. Using relatable stories, client examples and real-life analogies, this episode explores: * Why most diets fail long term * The problem with relying purely on willpower * How ultra-processed foods affect hunger and cravings * Why protein and whole foods help control appetite naturally * The relationship between blood sugar, insulin and hunger * Why slow cookers and simple meals make consistency easier * The importance of convenience in healthy eating * Why increasing movement is often more sustainable than endlessly reducing calories * How running changes your relationship with food * Why consistency matters more than perfection with nutrition Adam also shares stories from his own journey and clients he’s worked with who believed they had “no discipline,” when in reality their bodies were simply fighting back against overly restrictive dieting. This episode is a reminder that healthy living shouldn’t feel like punishment, and that long-term progress usually comes from creating a lifestyle your body can actually sustain.
