The Be Battle Ready podcast is where everyday athletes, adventurers, and seekers of strength come to forge resilience - in body, mind, and spirit.
Hosted by coach Simon Ward, each episode explores the true pillars of endurance: purposeful training, nourishing nutrition, restorative sleep, a resilient mindset, and the art of recovery. It’s designed especially for those in their 40s, 50s and beyond who refuse to rust - men and women who know that age is no excuse to stop sharpening the blade.
Whether you’re preparing for your next Ironman, rebuilding after setback, or simply training for the demands of life itself, this show will help you stay Battle Ready: strong, adaptable, and unbreakable.
Expect conversations with world-class coaches, scientists, and everyday warriors - those who walk the path of longevity and high performance - sharing wisdom, tactics, and stories from the front line of endurance.

Stephen Seiler is one of my most popular podcast guests EVER. I first interviewed Dr. Seiler in January and soon realised I had so much more to ask him. In our first podcast he broke the endurance record (for this podcast) as we chatted for over 2 hours. We were determined not to do that this time, but he’s just such an interesting character that we chatted for almost 2.5 hours. Rather than give you just one show to listen to, you now have two. In the first episode we dive deeper into the polarised training debate, and in Part 2 Dr. Seiler answers listeners questions. In this conversation we chat about:
- Being inexhaustibly curious
- Sustainable training for attainable endurance goals
- Online experiments during lockdown
- The real life experiment of training your daughter to be a great middle distance runner
- Ageing and how this affects recovery between reps and between sessions
- How to design your weekly training blocks
- Why younger athletes try to squeeze in too much training
