What is The Evergreen Athlete - By Finlay MacHugh?

Welcome to the Evergreen Athlete podcast...


This podcast is designed for people who used to live for sport but are now in a different place. They've recently focused on their careers and families and are unsure how to train athletically as they age. They have different stressors and problems. My name is Finlay MacHugh, and this is something that I have gone through myself to help people overcome every single day. If you're here, you likely have questions about how to train and live optimally. So this is what to expect...


What You’ll Get:




  1. Practical Toolkit: I'll share principles and learnings to help you train efficiently, effectively and productively.


  2. Expert Insights: In-depth discussions with leading coaches, health experts, and performance specialists.


  3. Experiences: Real-life learnings and mistakes from myself and my clients.


About Me (Your Host):


As of writing this in February 2025, I have been a strength and conditioning coach for 15 years, and I've coached at some level for 20 (Christ, that's scary). I'm the founder of Evergreen Athlete, an online coaching platform for those over 30s who want to regain their consistency and confidence to be their best version.
