Performance chef. Hybrid athlete. Dan Churchill is back in town and on the mic.
In this episode, Dan unpacks his evolution — from running restaurants to chasing world-class athletic goals. We dive deep into what it really takes to train hard, eat with purpose, sleep for recovery, and show up with discipline every single day. Dan doesn’t just talk goals — he lives them. He’s chasing a sub-60 at HYROX Pro and a sub-3-hour marathon in London. We break down how he’s training, how he’s planning, and how he stays locked in mentally.
We also talk identity — how embracing the title of “athlete” can shift your mindset and elevate your effort across the board. Plus, we go into the psychology behind nutrition, and what it means to truly fuel with intent.
