Apple may be about to launch its most important fitness product yet. According to multiple reports, Apple is developing a screenless wearable being referred to as the "Apple Loop" — a device designed to compete with WHOOP and Oura by focusing on recovery, sleep, stress, readiness, and AI-powered coaching. But this isn't really a story about a wearable. It's a story about where health is heading. For the last decade we've been tracking our bodies. The next decade will be about understanding them. In this episode, Louise Hazel breaks down: • What the Apple Loop is rumored to be • Why Apple is investing heavily in health technology • The rise of AI-powered coaching • The opportunities and dangers of wearable technology • Why women have historically been underserved by fitness research • How technology could transform women's health • Why more data doesn't always equal better decisions • The one thing technology can never replace Because the strongest women won't be the women with the most data. They'll be the women who know what to do with it.

This is it. Twelve weeks of training. Long runs. Strength sessions. Early mornings. Fuel. Recovery. Self-doubt. Progress. And now there is only one thing left to do: Race.
You're TWO WEEKS away from your half marathon. And suddenly you're questioning everything. Did I train enough? Was my longest run long enough? Why do my legs feel terrible? Should I run this week? Should I carb load? How many gels do I need? Can I walk? What if I can't sleep? What if everyone starts faster than me? And the biggest question of all... What if I can't finish?
You've spent weeks training for your half marathon. And now that race day is getting closer... Your training plan is telling you to do less.
You’ve been training for weeks. You’re running further. You’re lifting weights. You’re fueling properly. You’re recovering better. So why aren’t you getting faster every week? And if your pace hasn’t changed… is your training actually working? In Episode 10 of the SLAY Stronger Runner Series, Olympian, coach and SLAY founder Louise Hazel explains why pace is only one measure of running progress, and why you could be becoming a significantly better runner without seeing a dramatic change on your watch.
You’re training for 13.1 miles. But does that mean you actually need to run 13.1 miles before race day? And if you haven't… how can you possibly know you'll finish?
