    225. Pushing Past Your Comfort Zone

    225. Pushing Past Your Comfort Zone

    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.

    224. How I Experienced Freedom from Alcohol

    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.

    223. The Problem with Eating Whatever You Want

    223. The Problem with Eating Whatever You Want

    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.

    221. What Are You Willing to Sacrifice to Lose Weight?

    If you’ve ever trained for a marathon then you know that sacrifices have to be made in order to achieve that goal.

    You have to put in a lot of hours on the weekends running in the cold.

    You have to give up time with your family and friends.

    You endure sore legs for days and you’re tired all the time.

    You are more than willing to sacrifice these things in order to run that race.

    How about when it comes to losing weight?

    What are you willing to sacrifice in order to hit your weight loss goal?

    In this episode, I take a deep dive into the kinds of sacrifices we all have to make in order to lose weight and keep it off.

    220. Should You Lose Weight While Training for a Race?

    220. Should You Lose Weight While Training for a Race?

    A lot of runners are told not to lose weight while training for a race.

    There are many reasons why they are given this advice (which I cover in today’s episode), but I don’t necessarily agree with all of it.

    I believe there’s a right way and a wrong way to lose weight as a runner, even when you’re training for an event like a half or full marathon.

    In this episode of the Running Lean podcast, can you…and should you lose weight while training for a race?

A great discovery!

I discovers this podcast about two weeks ago on a random search for some new running inspiration and am hooked! Is real and tangible and inspirational and really accessible. Am bingeing all of them on my runs and work commute. Highly recommended!!

Waste of time

Listened to one episode about “eating like an athlete”. It was 30 mins of repeating the same thing, with no actual substance. Eat like an athlete…ok, got it.
