USA Recap - Navigating nutrition, training and parenthood

Coach Mark Carroll is joined by guest Lauren Simpson for a real-world breakdown of what it actually looks like to travel for three weeks through the US with a toddler, multiple cities, and serious fitness goals - without spiralling into “holiday mode” and coming home feeling like you need to start over.

They unpack the highs (Disneyland, courtside NBA), the lows (airport chaos, jet lag, no aircon back home), and the practical systems they used to stay consistent with training and nutrition while juggling parenthood and supporting each other’s goals.

If you travel and always fall off… or you think “it’s impossible to stay on track while away,” this episode will reset your expectations and give you a simple, realistic framework you can actually follow.

In this episode

• Recap of our 3 weeks in the US travelling with a toddler (jet lag, airports, chaos)
• How I kept my training consistent while travelling and how Lauren adapted hers
• How we stayed on track with nutrition without tracking calories
• Why “holiday mode” doesn’t have to mean falling off completely
• How we supported each other’s goals while balancing parenthood and travel
• How the VRTO Express Workout feature helped us fit training into busy travel days
