About this listen

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.

  • E82: 2025 Lessons Learned & Bringing Softness Into 2026
    Jan 1 2026

    Hey team! Little end-of-year wrap-up from me today. We spoke about how the pressure to go BIG on those New Year’s goals can actually get in our own way, and how important bringing some softness and kindness to your goal-setting process can be, without stopping yourself from dreaming big or taking a big swing at something that you're really gassed up against.

    Happy New Year, Small Gains Family, and a big thank you for all the support this year!

    Love you!

  • E81: Do you trust your smart watch more than you trust your intuition?
    Dec 12 2025

    Is your smartwatch actually helping? Or is it actually negatively impacting your sleep, stress training and recovery and maybe you haven't realised that part yet?

    This week we’re talking data obsession, the all-consuming sleep score, comparison traps and why your watch will never know your body better than you do.

    Let’s bring some soul, intuition and common sense back into our training tech.

  • E80: Blanket Goblins United: Embracing Cosy Season & Smashing Your Winter Training Goals
    Nov 14 2025

    To Winter Arc or not to Winter Arc?

    To Blanket Goblin or not Blanket Goblin?

    Today’s chat is all about approaching winter when it comes to training, and allowing yourself to embrace the cosy season when you struggle with the change in seasons or find you’re affected by Seasonal Affective Disorder more at this time of year.

    We shouldn’t let our environment change get in the way of our enjoyment of training, but we also shouldn’t put pressure on ourselves to overtrain or go ‘dark mode’ for winter.

    Let me know your thoughts!
