This is our final episode in a very special series - powered by Nike - where we’re exploring all the many wonderful things that running can do for you, via chats with inspiring women. Today’s seriously energising guest - bestselling author, content creator and erstwhile marathon runner Candice Brathwaite - recently picked up running again, albeit shorter distances on her home treadmill. She runs to access what she calls 'tension'. By that she means a type of controllable struggle that encourages personal growth in all areas of life, which - in her words - she just can't get from any other form of fitness. Candice also discusses learnings from writing her latest book, YA fiction debut, Cuts Both Ways and why, when it comes to helping her daughter and stepdaughter enjoy a healthy relationship with fitness, she's leading by example - rather than telling them what to do. Oh, and if you're looking for the pep talk you need to stop standing in your own way and actually action those healthy habits, Candice shares *exactly* what she tells herself to get the thing done.
Candice is joined in the coaching clinic by Nike Run Coach and youth mentor Dora Atim (who we met in episode four) to get advice on how she can reach her number one running goal right now: to run a 5k in 25 minutes.

Hi there! This season, powered by Nike, we're homing in on all things running. You can expect powerful stories from extraordinary women, guaranteed to spark your motivation this back-to-school season. In today's episode, Roisín is joined by broadcaster-turned-start up founder Andrea McLean, whose newfound approach to navigating her life and goals offers a timely tribute to the 26.21 mile course that 40,000 people in London made their way around last weekend.
Following breakdown and burnout in 2019, the former daytime TV star and mum-of-two left a decades-long career to retrain as a coach and create her own mindset community and app,This Girl is On Fire. Here, Andrea reflects on the brutal lessons that reaching rock bottom taught her, plus how, at 53, she's finding rebuilding her much-loved running routine trickier than ever. She also shares dispatches from the frontline of running a business with her fitness-mad husband, and the reason she's trying to un-invite her ego from her treadmill sessions.
For this week's coaching clinic, Andrea speaks with Lloyd Kempson - Nike Run Coach and UK Athletics endurance specialist - to discover the training and mindset tools that could help her find her stride with running again.

Hello! This season, powered by Nike, we're homing in on all things running. You can expect powerful stories from extraordinary women - guaranteed to spark your motivation this back-to-school season - plus plenty of expert tips and tactics.
In today's episode Roisín is joined by Nike Run Coach Dora Atim. As a teen, battling body dysmorphia, Dora never would have imagined that running would prove the conduit for finding self-acceptance and self-love. And yet, a decade later, she’s so passionate about the benefits of putting one foot in front of the other that - from run coaching to youth mentoring - much of her career is built around passing those benefits on.
Here she shares insights from that evolution, alongside the painful moment in summer 2020 that made her realise that - for many Black women and non-binary people to enjoy the nourishing power of rural areas - a community needed to be created. And how, with her trail running collective Ultra Black Running, she’s carved out a space for joy to thrive.
In today's Coaching Clinic, Dora offers up answers to your personal running dilemmas.

Hey! This season, powered by Nike, we're homing in on all things running. You can expect tips and tactics from Nike Run Coaches, alongside powerful stories from extraordinary women - guaranteed to spark your motivation this back-to-school season.
This week Roisín is joined by broadcaster, philanthropist and former Women’s Health cover star Katie Piper. She shares her current running MO and how lacing up her trainers helps shift her mood and elevate her day. Whether that’s commuting between meetings in the city or heading out with a pal - and a head torch - for a pre-dawn session in the hills near her home, before her busy day begins. A long-time champion of moving your body to support your mental health, Katie discusses how running increased her self-belief and why - crucially - it could do the same for you.
In today's Coaching Clinic, Katie is joined by Nike Run Coach and top physiotherapist Manni Ovola. He arms her with the tools she needs to smash her own running goal: running her best 5k.

Hey! This season, powered by Nike, we're homing in on all things running. You can expect tips and tactics from Nike run coaches to elevate your own running practice - or build one from scratch. Plus, powerful stories from extraordinary women guaranteed to spark your motivation this back-to-school season.
For today’s guest, NHS mental health worker Intisar Abdul-Kader, running is a privilege and a joy. Especially so given the various barriers she’s faced on her way to running multiple World Marathon Majors races. She shares with Roisín how running enabled her to process her Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis - and continues to help her manage the chronic condition. She also explains how a destabilising incident of racist, Islamaphobic abuse while out running in 2020 has ultimately strengthened her resolve to show up - unapologetically - as a Black, hijabi runner. And encourage other women like her to lace up their trainers and access the transformative benefits that running - for whatever distance; at whatever speed - can bring.
In today’s Coaching Clinic, Intisar is joined by Nike Run Coach Andi Goceva. She provides Intisar with all the tips she needs to smash her next big race.

Hey everyone, we're back! This season, powered by Nike, we're homing in on all things running. You can expect tips and tactics from Nike run coaches to build or elevate your own running practice, whatever your level. Plus, powerful stories from extraordinary women - some familiar, some not so - guaranteed to spark your motivation this back-to-school season.
In today's episode, Roisín is joined by journalist and author Ella Dove. Ella lost her lower right leg in a freak accident, aged just 25. The word ‘inspirational’ is seriously overused, but if any adjective characterises her journey since that day, it’s exactly that. Whatever your personal barrier to getting what you want out of your body, mind and life right now, you might just perceive it a little differently after listening to her story.
In today's Coaching Clinic, Ella is joined by Nike Run Coach and top physiotherapist Manni Ovola. He arms her with the tools she needs to really go for her own running goals: to run more evenly and break through the 5k barrier.

Welcome to Mission Confidence, a special edition of the Going For Goal podcast sponsored by Philips that’s designed to help you on your body confidence journey. This podcast has been created as part of our Project Body Love initiative, which is all about challenging the way we think, feel and speak about our bodies; embracing what makes us unique and putting an end to negative self-talk and embarrassment. Philips believe that hair removal should be a choice, and it looks different for everyone. If you do choose to remove your body hair, whether you prefer to take it all off or to tackle your legs, armpits or bikini line only, Philips has a range of hair removal tools to suit your needs. And on Mission Confidence, over four episodes and with the help of some very wise women, we’re going to be exploring confidence in its various facets and forms – with the goal of helping you tap into yours.
On this final episode of Mission Confidence we’re looking specifically at ageless confidence with two women – one who’s 28, the other who’s 42 – who are both extremely passionate about the topic. They are Women’s Health editor-in-chief Claire Sanderson and three-time WH cover star and PT Alice Liveing. We discuss how confidence can evolve with age and experience – and how both women have noticed that, as they’ve gotten older, they’re better equipped to find confidence and strength from what’s inside – kindness, resilience, individuality, grit – rather than needing external validation to shore-up their self-esteem. Both seriously fit women discuss the confidence-fuelling power of a workout; why body hair, or the lack of it, doesn’t need to be a statement – and why using the Philips Lumea IPL device is a simple, pain-free solution for helping them achieve the smooth armpits and bikini line they, personally, prefer.

Today we’re discussing the self-esteem-bolstering power of expressing yourself through fashion with Sonny Turner, a 22-year-old Birmingham-born model and body positivity advocate. Whether she’s stepping down the runway at NY fashion week or posing up a storm on her IG grid, you’ll know her as bold, confident and committed to sharing the message that women of all shapes and sizes should feel empowered to experiment with fashion and wear what they want, when they want. Here, Sonny reveals the body image wobbles she’s experienced over the course of the pandemic and how pulling together new outfits, and leaning into workouts, has helped her get excited about the unlocked summer ahead. She also shares how experimenting with the Philips Lumea at home IPL device is helping her get the smooth armpits she prefers – without irritation.

Today, we're discussing how women can find their way back to who they are as individuals after becoming parents, with Ellie Gibson and Helen Thorn AKA comedy duo The Scummy Mummies. Between the laughs (these two are gloriously unfiltered) we discuss the often-complex journeys of body acceptance that can play out post-baby, plus why small acts of self-care may prove powerful when it comes to reinforcing confidence. Of course, we also talk about body hair: specifically, why there's no right or wrong approach, plus how one newly-single mum is enjoying experimenting with the Philips Lumea IPL device as she prepares to date again this summer.

There's the improved cardio-respiratory health boosted fat burn, as well as the fact this most intense and sweaty of exercise need only last a short while. It’s these perks - and that it requires next to no equipment, and minimal amounts of space - that have drawn so many of you to HIIT during the pandemic as you keep fit from the confines of bedrooms and gardens bedrooms and gardens. But, as the gyms draw us back with their wide range of classes and shiny weights areas, is it time to reconsider? Because - as you’ll learn - there can be too much of a good thing.

Listen to find out how to do HIIT right in your exercise schedule, so that it works well for you. Because as Alice and Luke both say, fitness should be something that has a positive impact on your emotional wellbeing - that makes you feel really good.

What’s it like to be counted down and know that, in seconds, you’re going to be speaking live to millions of people across the UK? Nerve-wracking, according to Claudia Winkleman, but she wouldn’t have it any other way. Whether she’s dazzling presenting Strictly or chatting into the mic for her Radio 2 show, the broadcaster, mother-of-three and Head & Shoulders ambassador still gets a real buzz of excitement. As at-home as she appears, she tells our editor-in-chief Claire Sanderson in today’s episode, that she might not do it perfectly, but that that’s okay. Because – according to Claudia – perfection is overrated and ‘failure is excellent’. It’s the approach she brings not only to her job, but also to parenting – and maintaining her health – and in today’s episode, she breaks it down. Claudia is a real joy to listen to - listen on for her number one energy hack; her skin and hair care essentials; and her strategies for raising a confident teenage daughter.Join Claudia Winkleman on Instagram: @claudiawinkleJoin Claire Sanderson on Instagram: @clairesandersonJoin Women's Health UK on Instagram: @womenshealthukLike what you’re hearing?

What things can you do to cope mentally and recover physiologically after injuring yourself while exercising? It’s a question that our acting digital editor Francesca Menato has sought answers to over the last year. She was training for her fourth - and hopefully fastest - marathon when she caught Covid-19, and the long-term effects on her lungs meant she wasn’t able to run for 12 weeks. Then, when she laced up her trainers once more and built up her fitness over six weeks for a 31-hour ultra relay, she found herself struck down again - this time with ITB syndrome and bursitis, and out of action for four months. She’s doing better now, and returned to shorter runs in early March, but dealing with that injury was tough. And she’s not alone - tonnes of you have got in touch to share your own experience of lockdown fitness set-backs. In today’s episode, we call on Dr Josie Perry, sports psychologist and founder of Performance In Mind, and Emmanuel Ovola, physiotherapist and Nike run coach. They discuss why so many people have become injured during training during the pandemic, the importance of dealing with the emotional fallout of not being able to stay active, as well as tips and tricks to get you actually doing those all-important rehab exercises.

In the decade that she’s been on our screens, whether that’s watching her on TV or reading about her on your smartphone, we’ve seen a few sides to Millie Mackintosh. There’s been the party girl, the businesswoman, the wellness enthusiast, and the WH cover star a whopping four times over. And now, almost a year on from the birth of her daughter, Sienna, it’s time to get to know another: Millie the doting mum, which has given her a whole new perspective on what healthy means to her. In this episode, she tells us what becoming a mother for the first time in a year like no other really felt like, her nerves about her post-baby body before our photoshoot, and what she’s booking in for the great British ‘unlocked’ summer of 2021. She is super open - discussing her and husband Hugo Taylor’s lockdown bickering, as well as the unfiltered realities of C-section recovery and how this has affected her journey back to fitness.

Have you been struggling, of late, to tick something - anything - off your to-do list? We’re right there with you - in the procrastination zone. A mental state we promise ourselves time and time again that we won’t slip back into. But, for many of us, changes to usual routines and motivations have been disrupted during the pandemic - with productivity taking a goal-busting nose-dive. Which is why, in this episode, rather than avoid the problem and hope it will go away, we’re tackling the issue of procrastination head-on – discussing the tools and techniques you can use to encourage yourself to be more productive and, ultimately, create more space for the good stuff. As you’ll learn, you’re not a procrastinator. You simply procrastinate - and we’re here to help you climb out of that habit so you can build more positive ones. Our guests this week are Dr Grace Lordan, associate professor in behavioural science at the London School of Economics and author of Think Big, and also Grace Beverley, founder of apparel brand TALA as well as workout app Shreddy, and author of Working Hard, Hardly Working. We discuss the most common triggers for procrastination, and how it can take different forms with different people. There’s also great points made about the counterproductive cult of busyness, and why comparing yourself to others in a similar professional space is a disaster for productivity – let alone happiness. Plus, there’s chat about finding your own hype man - or woman - why showing up for yourself in small increments is key and how to have respect for all those other elements of life the matter to you while still flourishing at work. Enjoy!
