Taylor Fritz is no stranger to immense pressure or playing injured, having dealt with plenty of both over the past few years. The 25-year-old is one of America’s brightest tennis stars, cementing his place in the sport’s history after defeating Rafael Nadal at the Indian Wells Masters last March—and becoming the first American to win

Home workouts needn’t be a tedious sequence of air squats and press-ups. Creative trainers can challenge your strength and endurance with bodyweight exercises alone, providing taxing twists on tried-and-tested classics to help keep your mind engaged while you work.  This workout from callisthenics expert Frank Medrano (opens in new tab) is a great example, using

It’s difficult to navigate workouts during pregnancy, thanks to your ever-growing bump and waning energy levels. But evidence suggests that physically active mothers experience fewer problems in later pregnancy and have a shorter labour, too – so it’s well worth rolling out your exercise mat a few times a week. This new six-week programme from

Whether or not you’re diabetic, blood glucose has a major impact on your performance and recovery when training and racing. I’ve enlisted the help of a registered dietician to explain the ins and outs of blood glucose, insulin, diabetes, and fasting as it relates to running. Meghann Featherstun Blood glucose – also known as your

For motorcycle enthusiasts, 2022 promises to be a great year. Despite some production delays, motorcycle manufacturers have made key advancements in engineering and building new motorcycles across a range of categories.

Kettlebells are one of our favourite training tools, so we had to include it in our 12 days of Christmas workouts series. Omar Mansour, a level 3 personal trainer and coach for audio-led fitness app WithU (opens in new tab), has kindly obliged with this HIIT session. Mansour says that kettlebell workouts are great for

Some mountain towns are inconceivably picturesque, like living in a snow globe. Problem is, with crowding in high season, it can feel just as cramped. Take Jackson Hole. It’s a world-class ski destination, but you’re gonna have to put up with long lines and congestion—unless you side-step Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. As a first-time visitor, you

We like a short workout as much as the next person, but there’s nothing quite like getting stuck into a meaty weights workout. A session like this one, designed exclusively for Coach’s 12 days of Christmas workouts by Laura ‘Biceps’ Hoggins (opens in new tab), a level 3 personal trainer, author and presenter.  She’s put

When you’ve had a banner year and want to keep improving, what’s next? It takes some dedication, but it is possible to get faster as a master! Improvement in running is addictive. To be able to see continuous, measured progress is a huge part of what drew me and so many others into the sport.

When it comes to making whiskey, the rules are fairly clear-cut. In a nutshell, whiskey is a spirit made by distilling fermented grains. These can include barley, corn, wheat, rye, and other lesser-used varieties. After fermenting and distilling, it’s aged (unless it’s white whiskey or moonshine) in wooden barrels, often maturing in charred or toasted

Need a sweat sesh that can be done almost anywhere? Look no further.  Chris Roche (opens in new tab) is a Level 3 personal trainer at Huel and he has devised this exclusive home workout for Coach.

We often read about elite runners when they are at the peak of their sport, so it’s easy to forget that they face the same challenges with injury that we do. Just as we can learn from their training, we can also learn a great deal from their injury recovery process. Grayson Murphy Even when

In the surfing/bank heist cult classic Point Break—not to be confused with the lackluster 2015 remake—the final scene was one of towering winter swells out of Antarctica pounding Bells Beach in Australia. As Bodhi (Patrick Swayze) gets ready to go and surf what the 50-year-storm has wrought, FBI agent Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves) is able to

It’s sometimes easy to forget that for most people eating healthily simply involves balanced meals where you don’t skimp on the vegetables. You don’t have to cut out all flavour and only eat meagre amounts, just get your veg in and eat in line with how active you are. With this in mind, Prep Kitchen’s

Whether you’re returning to the gym after an extended hiatus or just looking to add some intensity to your workout, a high-performance pair of training shoes is a worthwhile investment. The tough part? Deciding which ones to buy. Long gone are the days of just grabbing any old athletic shoe. From weightlifting shoes and strength

If you have flat feet and are worried about it, then we have two bits of good news for you. One is that you might not actually have flat feet – it’s something people aren’t always reliable at judging  themselves. The second is that even if you do have flat feet, it’s probably nothing to

As runners wrap up their training and goal races for the year, they may struggle with how to structure the off season before harder training resumes. A shift in language and how you approach this training block can make all the difference. While the term “off-season” is commonly used to describe the down time for

Few destinations leave me as gobsmacked as Mozambique—and that’s probably because I went in with no expectations aside from the usual “good food, warm hospitality, and crystal blue waters” expectations. Admittedly, Mozambique was an add-on for our recent safari travels. We were already going to Kruger National Park in South Africa, and given that there

With a win rate of 77% spanning 118 years and 612 Test matches, the All Blacks are indisputably one of the most successful sports teams of all time.  New Zealand’s women, the six-time World Cup winning Black Ferns, have a similarly fearsome reputation. So what sets the Kiwis apart? How do they train to be

Training your mind to run well is just as important as training your body. Confidence is an essential part of this skillset which can be developed alongside your physical training. Any athlete who seeks to perform at their best knows the importance of mental training to complement their physical performance. Whether it’s a tough workout,

Being “well-groomed” is a relative matter. We’re all a work in progress, even the best-buffed among us. Keep that in mind when you shop for the guys on your list this year (or if you’re looking to up your own grooming regimen). Thankfully, there are a great many holiday grooming gifts that will please every
