Episode 47:  Easy Runs

- Why do I say what I say to you on an easy run? Why do I tell you to start easy? Why do I tell you to blame me for running slow? Why do I bring up effort before pace? What do I think about pace on an easy run? Why do I make you do system checks for your form and your breathing and your mindset? How do I coach the middle of an easy run? What about the end? Well, these are all great questions! How about I answer them and a few more? Let's do it!

Go ahead and head out for an easy run or go for a hike or walk or just listen to this in traffic or on the train. Because this episode will benefit your easy runs whether you are on one of them or just getting ready for one in your future.

Cheers and thank you for listening!

Episode 46:   Stop That! Start This.

- We do so many things that slow us down or set us back. And we don't do so many things that would set us up to move ahead. So, let's stop that all that nonsense. And let's start this a better way. We'll go over golden oldies like sleep and hydration. We'll get (not so) new age with mindset and better risk taking. We'll hit a classic like idiotic training and so much more. Hope you enjoy... no... more than that... I hope you love this episode.

Cheers and thank you for listening!

Episode 45:  Questions For YOU!

- That's right! We're flipping the script. I'm asking the questions and you are answering them. So, get ready to use that big brain of yours and ponder some sticklers and stumpers. This is a really fun episode. At least I think it is. And it's also some great training for your runs. A run should be a great conversation between your mind and body after all. And great conversations are often made up of questions and stories. This run will demand both... from you!

I also think that you'll need (and want) to spend some time after the episode pondering and processing the questions I give you and the answers you give back. Especially since I ask you a bunch of followup questions to every main question I ask. Anyway, that's why I'm going to list out the main questions from the episode. 

So, here they are:

Why do you want to run?
Where is your favorite place to run?
What time of year is your favorite time of year to run?
Track or trails?
What's the worst life advice you've ever been given?
Who was/is the best teammate you've ever had?
What's the hardest thing you've ever done?
Do you dance differently when you are alone?
If you were tasked with making one meal for people you cared about what would it be?
If you could set one big goal for your running right now what would it be?
Who in your life do you most believe needs an invitation to a starting line?

Cheers and thank you for listening!

Episode 44:   Running Isn't Complicated

The episode is really called Running Isn't Complicated... Runners Are. But I figured brevity would be the best course to take here. The goal of episode 44 is pretty simple... some would say... wait for it... uncomplicated.

So much of running is not complicated. It's a simple activity. But runners are indeed complicated. And if there is one thing that complicated people do really well is overcomplicate the things around them. That's okay! Because we can simplify. We can learn to uncomplicate.  We can figure things out.

(And yes, I know uncomplicate is not a real word.)

In this episode some of the uncomplicated parts of running that get complicated by us humans we'll talk about and uncomplicate. Now that's a complicated sentence!

So enjoy the podcast as such uncomplicated topics as getting started, how to ramp up training, motivation. running form... they all get discussed.

Cheers and thank you for listening!
