On this week's podcast episode, we welcome personal trainer and nutrition specialist Al Langlands. For over 10 years Al has run a successful personal training business in and around Edinburgh, latterly also opening a nutrition consultancy specialising in advising endurance and ultra-endurance athletes. In that time he has worked with clients with aims as diverse as competing in high level team sports, adventure races, marathons, weight loss and those battling terminal illness. He manages stroke and cardiac-rehabilitation programmes for a local charity and his remote training and nutrition clients hail from all corners of the globe, including India, North America and Europe. He has also personally competed in a number of ultra-endurance events himself, most recently finishing in the top 10 of the 1080-mile Trans Alba ultra-cycling race.
We talk all things fitness and what that means, particularly now in the light of gym closures, no outside group classes, and any exercise limited to once per day and generally done so alone.  Fitness can be a solitary experience for some but also very much a means of social interaction for others; Al comments on how exercise is not only a physical benefit but also a hugely mental benefit for us all.
