About this episode
We talk with Rachel Marks about why copying someone else’s training plan can leave runners tired, sore, and stalled, even when they do everything “right”. We explore personalised coaching through body structure, epigenetics, sleep, HRV, and mindset so you can stop guessing and start working with your own biology.
• Rachel’s path from flight attendant to personal trainer after illness and recovery through structured exercise
• why exercise matters more than the gym setting and how home-based coaching helps people who feel intimidated
• the “no one-size-fits-all workout” problem and why identical programmes create different results
• how epigenetics explains changing responses to training, food, stress, and environment
• using assessments to identify what a body needs right now, including ideal training and sleep timing
• chronotypes, social conditioning, and why forcing morning routines can add stress for some people
• sleep as the key recovery tool and why training gains depend on deep rest
• wearables, sleep apps, and why trends over time beat single-night numbers
• HRV basics and how to use it to adjust intensity without overreacting
• NLP for breaking unhelpful habits, reducing negative self-talk, and building consistent motivation
