Tommy explores the power of mindfulness in training. Not just meditation, but as a way to be fully present in movement. Too often, runners and athletes get caught up in the numbers like pace, distance and heart rate without truly tuning into how their bodies feel.

Tommy breaks down what mindfulness in training really means, why it matters for performance, injury prevention, and long-term enjoyment, and how simple awareness techniques can make every session more effective. From breath control to body scanning and sensory focus, he shares practical tools to help athletes stay connected to their training rather than distracted by external pressures.

Whether it’s an easy run, a tough session, or even strength training, mindfulness can help you move better, train smarter, and find more joy in the process. Tune in to learn how a small shift in awareness can lead to big improvements - and try it in your next session.
