Description
In this week's episode of the Any Given Runday Podcast, we welcome movement specialist Brian O'Loughlin (@brian_o_loughlin on Instagram), who discusses his journey from dealing with chronic shoulder pain to co-founding Movement 101, which has rebranded to TELOS. Brian shares the core principles of their program—Weaponise Your Body, Raise Your Standards, Live with Purpose—and emphasises the importance of holistic health, including strength training, nutrition, sleep, and responsibility. He highlights the significance of education in understanding and managing pain, the role of mindset in recovery, and the misconceptions around mobility and physical fitness.
