Club Human: Forging the Link Between Evolutionary Endurance and Marathon Excellence

At Club Human, we're revolutionizing marathon training through our "Eat Beef & Deadlift" philosophy – a fusion of evolutionary wisdom and cutting-edge science that aligns with our ancestral roots as persistence hunters. Root cause medicine driven by complex systems methodology, centered around the conventional deadlift, select low-intensity endurance exercise, and species-appropriate nutrition. We don't just improve your run times; we rewire your body's core operating system to function as nature intended, embracing the triad of Muscle, Movement, and Metabolism for optimal endurance performance. The key is our Big Base Theory concept, honing an advanced self-regulating human physiology built on four foundational pillars:

B - Beef & Body Composition: Optimizing human nutrition and physique for endurance through species-appropriate eating
A - Autophagy & Autoregulation: Harnessing cellular renewal through intermittent fasting and developing a self-regulating physiology for sustained energy
S - Strength & Stamina: Building raw human power with consistent, low-intensity training that improves running economy and overall movement efficiency
E - Endurance & Earthing: Enhancing cardiovascular health and grounding connection with our natural environment, tapping into our persistence hunter heritage

This Big Base Theory sets the preconditions for effectively managing the demands of marathon training, both physical and mental. It is the foundation for advanced endurance performance, tapping into our innate human potential as born runners. Forget conventional marathon training plans and carb-loading diets. We're engineering foundational, physiological transformations that opt you out of modern running injuries and propel you into advanced human endurance. Our method unlocks your body's innate ability to self-heal, self-fuel, and self-regulate, creating a robust, adaptive metabolism primed for long-distance running with an endless internal fuel supply. We measure success through three profound metrics:
1. Waist circumference (body composition for optimal running efficiency)
2. Human strength (muscle health for injury prevention and power output)
3. Our unique heart rate/running speed index (evidence of improved endurance and predictive performance indicator)

These factors reveal your true endurance potential. Our prescriptions are precision-engineered to your unique human physiology, emphasizing consistency and persistency over intensity, harmonizing muscle function, natural running patterns, and metabolic efficiency. Our heart rate/running speed index provides concrete evidence of your improving aerobic capacity and serves as a powerful predictor of your marathon performance. Marathon performance that defies conventional training wisdom. A self-fueling body with an infinite energy reservoir that grows stronger and more resilient mile after mile, primed for lifelong running excellence. At Club Human, we're not just building better runners. We're forging superhuman endurance by reconnecting with our persistence hunter roots, one perfectly executed deadlift and grass-fed steak at a time, optimizing the synergy between Muscle, Movement, and Metabolism for marathon mastery. Join us. Evolve beyond ordinary. Embrace the BASE. Eat Beef. Deadlift. Run. Forever.

“Good luck to everyone running the London Marathon this year — especially our amazing members! What a memory you’re about to create, and what an experience it will be. Enjoy every moment — you’ve worked so hard for this!”

🏃‍♀️ From “I Can’t Run” to London Marathon – Sarah’s Incredible Journey 🏃‍♀️

Back in April 2022, Sarah walked into our Baddow Studio and told us she would do whatever it took to get into great health… but running was off the table. With a fused toe, she believed running just wasn’t possible.

Fast forward to April 2025, and Sarah is now training for the London Marathon! 🎉💪

Her body composition has transformed, making this challenge a realistic and achievable goal. More importantly, her attitude and mindset have been nothing short of inspiring. Every step of the way, Sarah has embraced everything we’ve prescribed with enthusiasm and positivity, always saying “This is easy, and I love it!”

We couldn’t be prouder of her! Watching her evolve, adapt, and thrive has been an absolute joy.

Sarah has also trained through some incredibly tough personal times, including losing her dad—and now, she’s taking on the London Marathon in his memory.

If you’d like to support her journey, we’ve attached her giving page below. Any support would mean the world to her.

🔥 Can’t wait to see Sarah cross that finish line! 🔥

📢 Progress in Motion! 💪🏽🚀

This is Berni, in for her monthly consultation at Club Human. ✅ Body composition checked, ✅ blood markers reviewed, ✅ posture and strength analysed – all reinforcing our Big BASE Theory.

Everything’s moving in the right direction, and we’re excited to see Berni’s continued progress next month! 🔥

London Marathon 2024 😍
Still buzzing and still analysing our performances 😂
All Club Human athletes are fat adapted and train using our Low Intensity Health model.
They therefore continue deadlifting throughout their marathon preparations, thus maintaining their Club Human Health Base.
Looking forward to the next marathon 💪🏼👌🏼🥩

Muscle. Movement. Metabolism. Steve used our unique, evolutionary approach to human strength to enhance his muscle quality, and therefore, his metabolic health. This allowed Steve to take up martial arts after losing over 30kg of mainly fat mass over the course of 16 months. His dedication to an improved body composition while simultaneously developing his strength at low intensities, usually for single repetitions only, has had a life changing effect. And he’s still improving. Yep, no reps, big effect. This is what we do.

Marathon season is coming to an end with big congratulations to all our Zone1 Runners on their half and full marathon performances ☝🏼

All our athletes trained in the low intensity way, using their specific Zone1 heart rates, while following our nutritional strategy, and building strength in the gym.

With a big focus on metabolic health, we had a clean sweep of PBs. A huge well done to the following Zone1 Athletes -

Full Marathon -

- 2:58.12 (LDN)
- 3:19.32 (LDN)
Jeremy - 5:02:38 (LDN)
Natalie - 6:23.55 (LDN)
- 3:45.57 (CHELM)
Lilla - 4:17.27 (CHELM)

Half Marathon -

- 1:30.13 (BIG HALF)
- 1:49.27 (CHELM)0 - 1:57.06 (CHELM)
- 1:42:30 (ROBIN HOOD)

A successful Marathon season for our Zone1 Athletes ☝🏼

Congratulations to for smashing the ‘Big Half’, in a time of 1.30:13 👏🏼👏🏼
Rob has taken 8 minutes off his previous PB with our low-intensity health approach.

Rob has been training with us for 6 months and has embraced the Zone1 methodology. As a result, his Zone1 metabolic age has reduced from 61 to 29, and he has lost 15kg in weight, all of which was body fat 💪🏼

Well done Rob. Another great step in your preparation for the London Marathon in 4 weeks time ☝🏼
