Small Gains: The Inclusive Strength and Running Podcast

Hey! I’m Lucinda (they/them), and welcome to Small Gains—the inclusive strength and running podcast where we celebrate progress over perfection and chase intentional, incremental gains in our strength and running.

Here, we believe small, consistent steps lead to big transformations—in our training, lifestyle, and overall well-being.

I’m here to bring the alternative and LGBTQIA+ communities accessible fitness advice and guidance for ALL bodies.

You’ll find me sharing evidence-based tips and insights on balancing strength training and running through hybrid fitness—on your terms. No hustle or grind culture here.

At Small Gains, we take a holistic approach to training—from gym intimidation and nutrition struggles to mindset, body image, neurodiversity, and mental health.

If you’ve always felt like a bit of an outcast in fitness spaces, this will 100% be your flavour.
