Tony Riddle is a leading voice in natural movement, rewilding, and human performance.
Born with club feet and raised in corrective footwear, Tony’s early experience of movement was far from natural. Over time, he rebuilt that relationship, going on to embody the very principles he now teaches.
This conversation explores how modern life disconnects us from our bodies, and what it looks like to return to something more natural.
Tommy and Tony cover natural movement, posture, breath work, cold exposure, and the role of play in building a resilient, capable body.

Along the way, Tony shares simple, practical ways to reconnect with your environment and move with more freedom.

Join Tommy as he celebrates 80 Episodes with listener questions. To begin, he opens with a reflection on how to “follow your dreams” when you don’t know what they are. What do you do when you know you don’t want to be where you are right now, but you don’t know where you do want to be?
Questions from listeners include: how often should you change shoes? Favourite meals/recipes? What’s the difference between pain and injury? How do you manage illness disruption to training? and What are the best post run recovery routines?

Join Tommy to explore one of the biggest shifts in modern running: our obsession with data.
Running used to be simple. You put on a pair of shoes, headed out the door, and judged the run by how it felt. But somewhere along the way watches, Strava, VO2 max scores, heart rate graphs and endless metrics began to take over.
In this episode Tommy follows the story of an everyday runner who slowly falls into the trap of letting numbers define his runs. He breaks down why many of the metrics runners obsess over aren’t nearly as important as they think, why wearable tech estimates are often misleading, and how the constant comparison culture of Strava can quietly erode the joy of running.
This is not an attack on data. Data can be useful. But when numbers start replacing experience, something important is lost.
If you’ve ever finished a run that felt great… only to feel disappointed when you saw the numbers on your watch, this episode is for you.
A conversation about running, freedom, and remembering why we started in the first place.
