Routines are great — until life gets in the way. In this episode of Get Out In It, we’re talking about what happens when your usual routine disappears. Whether it’s work, travel, family commitments, illness, or just a busy patch of life, being out of routine can quickly lead to frustration, guilt, and the feeling that you’ve “fallen off”. We explore why routines feel so important, how to approach changes without trying to force your old structure onto a new reality, and how to reset expectations around training, movement, and progress. This episode is about adapting rather than quitting, maintaining momentum rather than chasing perfection, and recognising that sometimes simply showing up — even imperfectly — is enough. Most importantly, we talk about being kind to yourself when things don’t go to plan, and how compassion often gets you back into routine faster than self-criticism ever will. A practical, reassuring conversation for anyone trying to keep moving when life gets messy.

This week on Get Out In It, we’re talking about the brands we run in — and what they stand for when we’re not thinking about pace, splits, or PBs. The episode was sparked by a simple but uncomfortable question: what happens when you love the gear, but feel conflicted about the values behind the brand? Using Nike as a starting point — and the recent headlines around co-founder Phil Knight’s personal political donations — we explore the tension between performance, ethics, and consumer choice. From there, we zoom out to look at how money, influence, and brand leadership shape the world runners and outdoor lovers exist in, before shifting the focus to brands genuinely trying to do better. We highlight companies like Patagonia and Allbirds, alongside smaller running and outdoor brands putting sustainability, transparency, and social impact at the heart of what they do. This isn’t about telling anyone what they should or shouldn’t wear. There are no perfect brands — and no guilt trips here. It’s about awareness, curiosity, and giving ourselves permission to ask better questions about where our money goes. A thoughtful, honest conversation about running, values, and how small choices can still matter.

If you’ve already started slipping on your January goals, this episode is for you. If you feel like your motivation has disappeared, this episode might change how you see it. More often than not, it’s not motivation that’s missing — it’s that our expectations don’t match real life. This episode is about resetting the bar, staying in the game, and learning how to keep showing up. We don’t lose motivation — we lose belief that we can meet the expectations we set.

In the first episode of Get Out In It Season 4, we review what's been happening and look ahead to the most important events to come for 2026! Maria discusses the road to the Newport Marathon and James discusses how important London is to him!

Simply show your finisher’s medal to our team and enjoy one of our delicious dishes to celebrate your amazing achievement. We roast our coffee using a state-of-the-art Loring convection roaster. We decided on convection roast as we feel this method helps to retain flavour and ensure an even roast. So what is convection roasting? Basically hot air gently roasts the entire bean, starting from the centre and moving outwards. The great thing about convection roasting is that it is environmentally friendly, helping us to dramatically reduce emissions and improve our footprint.

Sometimes single-origin, sometimes a blend but always from incredible female producers and consistently delivering a perfectly balanced and full-bodied cup. A medium roast profile that creates a superb all-rounder that is sweet and silky smooth with subtle acidity making it an absolute dreamboat in both black and milk-based drinks with very little faff required to really bring her full flavour profile to light. We promise she'll be a crowd-pleaser. This easy-to-work-with coffee shines with the traditional espresso recipe of 18g in/36g out extracting between 28-30 seconds, but we'll be honest, we've found GC to be so forgiving, it's actually harder to brew a bad espresso with this coffee than it is to brew a banging one. Girls Who Grind We are an independent, female-founded specialty coffee roastery. To drive towards a more equal industry, we source 100% of our coffees from women producers with the focus on visibility, representation, and celebration. Girls Who Grind Coffee is an all-female specialty coffee roastery owned by Casey LaLonde.  Casey, originally from Upstate New York, had the dream of starting her own coffee business for as long as she can remember and there’s nothing she’s ever had as much passion for. She has happy childhood memories of her house filling up with the smell of coffee brewing in the mornings and became passionate about producer relationships after studying power dynamics for her Sociology degree. Casey started off her career in a cupping lab and roastery where she learned how to cup and roast. She also assisted on Q-Grader courses. She enjoyed the experience of working in a lab but learned two things. 1.She wanted to work for herself. 2. She wanted to be involved in green buying and producer relationships. After moving to the UK in 2009 and two daughters later, she was ready to start her dream business. She founded GWGC along with a previous co-founder, Fi O’Brien, in 2017.  Coffee is a wonderful world, but it’s also not always a fair and equal one. GWGC recongnises the inequalities women face in coffee and sets out to help create an industry where women felt seen and celebrated for everything they bring to the table and have their voices heard. Hence why we made the conscious decision to focus solely on buying coffee from female producers, sharing their stories to the world, giving them the recognition they rightly deserve for the incredible work that they do.
