    The Performance Lab: Stop Working Out, Start Training Like an Athlete

    Send us Fan Mail Welcome to the first episode of The Performance Lab, a new Running With James series focused on building better athletes from the inside out. In this episode, we break down the difference between simply working out and actually training with purpose. We dive into the mindset shift that changes everything: training in phases, building with intention, focusing on long-term growth, and becoming the kind of athlete capable of real performance. Because better results don’t come from doing more…  They come from doing the right things, at the right time, for the right reasons. We cover: Why most athletes plateauTraining emotionally vs intentionallyThe importance of phases in trainingRecovery, structure, and consistencyWhat it really means to “become the athlete”This episode sets the foundation for the entire Performance Lab series—and for a smarter approach to training moving forward.  QUESTION OF THE DAY:  Do you train like an athlete… or do you just work out?  Subscribe for more coaching, mindset, performance, and hybrid athlete content every week. “When you change your mind… you change your  Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts   Spotify Support the show Become a member and support the show: https://patreon.com/RunningwithJames?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=join_link

    COACH’S CORNER | More Than Training: The Mindset & Life Behind Performance

    Send us Fan Mail Welcome to the very first episode of Coach’s Corner—a new Running with James series created exclusively for our Patreon community. In this episode, I sit down with two of our own, Coach Carlos and Coach Lauren, to pull back the curtain on what it really takes to pursue performance while living a full life. We go beyond workouts and race results and dive into the conversations athletes don’t always have out loud—inner dialogue in the middle of a race, how to respond when things get hard, and the mental battles that show up when life and training collide. We also talk about the reality of balancing it all—family, work, responsibilities—and what it looks like to stay consistent when everything in life is pulling at your time and energy. This isn’t about perfection. It’s about perspective, discipline, and learning how to show up as an athlete in the middle of real life. If you’ve ever felt the tension between chasing goals and managing everything else on your plate… this one’s for you. “Real athletes. Real conversations. Real life.” Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts   Spotify Support the show Become a member and support the show: https://patreon.com/RunningwithJames?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=join_link
