Today on the podcast, I share my experiences in dealing with all the challenges and all the lessons learned Cincinnati Flying Pig weekend.

How are your stress levels these days?

About 80% of Americans say they feel some degree of stress in their daily lives.

Of course, some feel stress more often than others, but the fact is, we are a stressed-out society.

Not dealing with stress can have all kinds of health and wellness implications including weight gain, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, depression, and a host of other issues.

Having a daily stress management practice is imperative if you want to be a healthy happy human.

And one of the most powerful ways to manage stress is to practice mindfulness.

So in this episode, I explain the power of practicing mindfulness and why it might be the best gift you can ever give yourself.

We’re in the middle of the Spring racing season here in the US and a lot of runners ask me questions about pacing for their upcoming race.

Should you start slow and then try to finish fast?

Should you start fast and try to make up some time for when you inevitably slow down at the end of a race?

Should you focus on your heart rate? Your cadence? Your current pace or average pace?

Believe it or not, there is one pacing strategy that has been proven time and again to be the most effective for practically every runner.

Today I will answer the question, “What’s the best pacing strategy”, so you can go out there and crush your Spring race this year.

One of the most powerful things you can do to improve your health and fitness is to regularly push past your comfort zone.

This might seem obvious to you and pretty basic, but it’s an area where most people really struggle.

The idea of getting uncomfortable is easy to understand, and most people say they’re more than willing to get uncomfortable.

But when they come face-to-face with their own discomfort, all those good intentions go out the window.

Most people end up running back to the safety and security of their well-constructed comfort zones.

So today on the podcast, it’s all about pushing past your comfort zone so you can grow, evolve, and become the most badass version of yourself yet.

17 years ago I finally made the decision to give up drinking alcohol.

This was not a decision that came quickly or easily, I had been drinking daily for many, many years.

I got to a point where my life was not what I wanted it to be.

I wanted more for myself and alcohol was standing between me and the person I ultimately wanted to be.

So today on the podcast, how I experienced freedom from alcohol, got my life back, and became healthier and happier than I ever thought possible.

There’s a lot of interesting food advice being given out these days by health and fitness “experts.”

One in particular that has stood out to me lately goes something like, “Take a few days each week and go crazy! Eat whatever you want! You don’t want to be too restrictive with your diet!”

I’ve done a lot of thinking about this idea, in fact, I even tried it…for a while.

I’ve learned a lot about this principle in the last few months and today I share my thoughts with you about it.

In this episode of the Running Lean podcast, I explain the problem with eating whatever you want and offer a better way to do things.
