  This week we sit down with runner, creator and women’s coach Lily Collyer, whose fitness journey took off when she moved to Dubai. Over the last four years she’s taken on 24 hours of burpees, a 100K ultra, and multiple marathons — all while fundraising for mental health charities and sharing her story online.Lily opens up about:The transition from ultras to speed-focused marathon training (“I was humbled… it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done”).What Berlin’s brutal heat taught her about respecting the marathon distance.Running a solo, night-time marathon across Dubai — no music, alone, carrying a gimbal — to show how safe the city is for women (“I was told to go to the darkest places”).Why doing less can sometimes unlock your best performances.The realities of self-belief, discipline and starting small.And… a little hint about what next year’s challenge might look like.A raw, honest and empowering episode that proves you don’t need to be extraordinary to take on extraordinary things.Follow Lily over on instagram : @lilycollyerOn TikTok : @lilycollyer_If you enjoyed this episode please consider following the show and leaving a review, it helps us reach more people and speak to more incredible guests!  Find us @weareatalanta and remember to tag us when you listen!

• Laura Belgrave: The Story Behind LB Visuals

  In this week’s episode, we sit down with the insanely talented Laura Belgrave — the creative force behind LB Visuals and one of the standout visual storytellers in the Hyrox space. Lauras ability to capture emotion, intensity and real human grit is unmatched — but her journey to becoming a videographer wasn’t linear. In fact, it started with being made redundant twice, losing her confidence, questioning her path, and finally taking the leap into full-time creative work… with no rulebook, no guaranteed income, and no clear plan other than backing herself.We talk about:🎥 How she found her place in a space still dominated by men📸 The pressure, adrenaline and chaos of shooting race days and fitness events🏃‍♀️ Her process for following athletes, capturing storylines, and staying everywhere at once🔥 Building LB Visuals from scratch and navigating self-belief along the way❤️ Her own fitness journey & love for Hyrox Follow Laura over on instagram : Business - @lb.visualssPersonal - @lb.fitt If you enjoyed this episode please consider following the show and leaving a review, it helps us reach more people and speak to more incredible guests!  Find us @weareatalanta and remember to tag us when you listen!

• Bryony Keys: Rebuilding after injury, taking on an Ironman & winning the BPN Ultra

  This week we’re joined by the incredible Bryony Keys — an athlete whose story is equal parts heartbreaking, inspiring and unbelievably powerful. Bryony opens up about the tragic accident that left 75% of her foot shattered, the months of uncertainty that followed, and the mental battle of coming back from an injury that threatened to take running away from her completely.She talks honestly about the darkest parts of that journey: stepping away from social media, losing her identity as an athlete, the frustration, the loneliness, and the slow, stubborn rebuild back to strength.But Bryony’s story isn’t defined by the injury — it’s defined by what she did next.- Her first Ironman.- Winning the BPN Survive the Night 50-mile ultra.- Earning the golden chip for the BPN Last Man Standing.- And rediscovering her purpose along the way.This is a conversation about resilience, rebuilding, belief and doing hard things — even when the world tells you that you shouldn’t be able to. Bryony is proof that you can rewrite your story, even when the ending looks nothing like what you expected.Follow Bryony over on instagram : @coachbryonyIf you enjoyed this episode please consider following the show and leaving a review, it helps us reach more people and speak to more incredible guests!  Find us @weareatalanta and remember to tag us when you listen!
