  • The ULTIMATE Hybrid Training Q&A
    Apr 2 2026

    In this episode, OMNIA Head Coaches JB and Kieran do something we don't do enough of.

    They turn the tables on each other.

    No athletes. No programming breakdowns. Just two coaches who've been in the trenches for a combined 20+ years being honest about what they've learned from one another since joining forces at OMNIA.

    Kieran drops a line that JB wrote down on his phone the moment he heard it - and it's the kind of thing that'll stick with you long after the episode ends.

    They get into why Kieran's cycling block quietly destroyed his running times without adding a single extra run. How plyometrics can be scaled to pretty much any athlete and why most people skip them entirely. And what happens when a coach who spent years working almost exclusively with military athletes suddenly has to communicate very differently.

    It's part coaching masterclass, part honest conversation between two people who are still figuring things out.

    Which, honestly, is the best kind.

  • The TRUTH About Triathlon: From Turbo Trainers to Aero Helmets
    Mar 26 2026

    In this week's episode, Craig and Fergus get into turbos, TT bikes, aero helmets, shaved legs, and why spending 20 grand on a Canyon means nothing if you can't hold the position for an hour. Plus: crocodiles in the swim, the Ironman brand debate, and the unglamorous reality of what triathlon actually is. Spoiler: it's mostly laundry.

    If you want Craig in your corner for your next race, he has 1:1 coaching spots available now.

  • Reflecting On 10 Years Of Training - With Coach Craig
    Mar 19 2026

    In this episode, Fergus catches up with Craig - triathlete, OMNIA Coach, and fellow Scot now based on the Gold Coast. One of them is training in 32-degree heat. The other is on a turbo in Spain.

    They cover Craig's rowing background and why he walked away from a potential GB squad spot at 17, the long road from perma-bulk to first Ironman, what it actually means to coach athletes who need pulling back rather than pushing forward, and why doing something for the first time only happens once - so you'd better respect it.

    Also: disc wheels, shaved legs, calf sleeves, and the aerodynamics of walking to the shops.

    No fluff. Just two coaches who've made most of the mistakes so you don't have to.

    Stay tuned for part two.

  • How Does Hypertrophy REALLY Work?
    Mar 5 2026

    Someone complimented Francois on his biceps mid-Ironman.

    While he was running.

    That's what happens when you stop chasing the pump and start training with actual mechanical tension.

    In this episode, JB breaks down how hypertrophy really works - the one driver behind muscle growth that most people completely miss, why soreness and fatigue are not the signal you think they are, and how hybrid athletes like Francois, Ben, and Matt built serious muscle while training for big endurance goals.

    No bro science. No fluff.

    Just what actually makes muscles grow - and how to keep that present in your training no matter what you're training for.

  • Cut or Bulk? Or Is There A BETTER Way to Approach Body Composition?
    Feb 5 2026

    In this episode of the Omnia Performance Podcast, JB and nutritionist Tom McClure tear into the myths around bulking, cutting, and “doing it all at once.”

    Tom explains why most athletes are under-fuelled, under-recovered, and chasing the wrong goal. They break down why fat loss and muscle gain rarely play nicely together, why maintenance isn’t a cop-out, and how obsessing over the scale is holding your performance back.

    If you want to train harder, race better, and stop sabotaging your progress with bad nutrition advice...this one’s for you.
