UNTAPPED with Spencer Matthews

Want to run faster? The secret might not be running further or training harder, but learning to move differently.

At just 16 years old, Bronson Hearn-Smith is already one of Britain’s most exciting young sprinting talents. A European U18 200m champion, record-breaking sprinter and viral sensation, Bronson has captured millions of views with his effortlessly smooth running style, and his remarkable rise has even seen him sign with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Talent Agency.

But what makes him so fast, and what can runners of any distance learn from him?

In this episode, Bronson shares the training principles behind his explosive speed, from plyometrics and strength work to simple drills and running mechanics that help him generate more power, move efficiently and make running fast look effortless.

He also reveals why recovery, knowing when to ease off and training smarter rather than harder are just as important as the sessions themselves.

Whether you’re chasing a faster 5K, a marathon PB or simply want to become a stronger, more confident runner, Bronson’s approach to speed could change the way you train.

If you lose 5kg, does that make you a better runner?

Not necessarily. Spencer Matthews and Oli Patrick unpack why what you lose matters more than how much, and why dropping body weight doesn't automatically translate into better performance.

For runners, trying to get lighter while trying to get faster can mean chasing two competing goals. From losing muscle and under-fuelling to the rise of GLP-1 drugs, this episode asks a more important question: are you losing weight, or are you losing what you need to run well?

Are you tired because life is busy… or could your body actually be missing something?

In this episode of Untapped Extra Mile, Oli Patrick tackles some of the most common nutrient deficiencies - iron, vitamin D and B12 - and explains how they could be affecting your energy, health and running performance.

Oli breaks down the warning signs to look out for, from unexplained fatigue and breathlessness to changes in performance, and explores when blood testing can actually be useful. He also explains why runners may need to pay particular attention to their nutrient levels, whether supplements are really necessary, and why simply taking more isn’t always the answer.
Plus, we look at why deficiencies may be becoming more common - and the simple questions you should ask before reaching for another supplement.

Because when it comes to performance, sometimes getting better isn’t about adding more. It’s about finding out what’s holding you back.

What does it actually take to get faster? For Olympic sprinter Daryll Neita, the answer isn't running further, it's running better.

Training five days a week in Florida, Daryll takes us inside the world of elite sprinting, from long winter sessions designed to build strength to the short, explosive work that creates speed. She also explains why sprinters rarely run more than 300–400m and why the gym can be just as important as the track.

For everyday runners, Daryll shares the simple principles that matter most: stay injury-free, make strength work explosive, master your drills and keep chipping away.
