Fergus is a Hybrid Athlete who recently completed the 1200TWELVE which consisted of a 1200lb powerlifting total and sub 12 hour Ironman distance triathlon in the same day! 

Having competed in a variety of sports from a young age, Fergus has spent his life in pursuit of athletic performance.

He shared his experience with mental health, and a suicide attempt, publicly in 2018, and has since used his athletic pursuits as a channel to raise funds and awareness for this cause, and has raised almost £100,000 for Movember through a variety of strength and endurance challenges.

Notes for the 1200TWELVE for anyone unfamiliar with powerlifting or iron distance triathlon: 

Powerlifting lifts: squat, deadlift and bench 

2.4 mile swim (3.9K), 112 mile bike (180.2K), and 26.2 mile run (42.2K).

Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s podcast. 

•     His background into fitness and changing training direction when he lost his enthusiasm for powerlifting
•     Training and living as a hybrid athlete 
•     His hardest and craziest challenges over the years

Felicity is a fitness trainer and online coach who specialises in pre and post-natal training. 

Her focus is about building a community that empowers women to be their best selves and be so confident they’re ready to walk a runway.

Today’s podcast content is in a slightly reverse order. The first half is all about pre and post-natal training and then we transition out to general fat loss and mindset. If you’re not interested in pregnancy or pre and post-natal, I’d highly recommend skipping to about half way through the podcast.

This is where Felicity drops some great mindset and life tip knowledge bombs. Enjoy. 

Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s episode:

•     Training in pre and post-natal – what you can, cannot and shouldn’t do 
•     Stress management technique for pre and post-natal
•     Breastfeeding and the nutritional elements to consider 
•     What to do if you’re scared of putting on too much weight in pregnancy 
•     The role calorie counting plays in general weight loss
•     Leaving her corporate job and following her passion into fitness
•     Finding herself through therapy and how it led her to a happier life by defriending toxic people
