Motional Intelligence

Calum Goddard

Motional Intelligence is a podcast for people who enjoy pushing themselves (and for the rest who'd rather watch, ideally seated). Every Thursday I talk to athletes and content creators about what's really going on when it gets hard: marathon training that wrecks social plans, personal bests nobody claps for, and the 5K that felt like an IRONMAN at the time.

Runners, this is your KM-after-KM companion. Everyone else, feel free to just feel vaguely inspired. Motivation, movement, and some truly terrible takes. This is Motional Intelligence with Calum Goddard!

Is the fitness world over-optimising itself into the ground?

44. George Rickwood: The UK's Most Unhinged Runner...
Joined this week by one of the greatest enigmas in the UK running space... Mr George Rickwood. Earlier this year he caught the internet's attention by running an extra kilometre every single day for 66 days (this resulted in back to back 400km weeks...) as part of Gymshark's 66 in 66. An achievement he followed up with a backyard ultra victory in Brighton & a 2:48 marathon time. Generational athlete and all round top bloke.

41. What Happened at London Marathon & SUB 2 Hour Marathon Finally Broken... TWICE!
Joined on monday morning by my fiancé, Issy to debrief on what was a truly historic London Marathon. Really not the day I was expecting or visioned for myself but that is running, part of the journey! Got to get back after it and go again. Congrats to Issy for pulling out a massive 25 minute PB, an incredible day out there. We also saw the first TWO humans go SUB 2 hours in the same race... a truly record breaking Sunday. Well done to everyone that ran & supported. *we said 'women's world record' - we meant 'women's only world record' (apologies) Calum's Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/calumgoddard/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Issy's Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/issysedgwick/?hl=en Watch on YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0nNkuS_WWmK0tRPwbfoXLQ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow on TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@motionalintelligencepod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/motionalintelligencepod

This week I'm joined by Aubrey AKA 'Bigger Than Running'. Aubrey is a runner with the goal to inspire and bring something to the table that is far 'bigger than running'. Aubrey recently became the first Malawian to complete all the marathon majors but a long the way had to face set backs with hate, self-doubt and a feeling of not belonging.
