    Just Sign Up

    This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with @AussieGirard to talk about his first marathon and where running has taken him. Austin signed up for his first marathon just 8 weeks before race day and is already looking towards the Cocodona 250 in 2027. The moral of this episode, peer pressure your friends into coming for a run with you, then just sign up.

    Pivat!

    In this episode, Chris breaks down the moment you realize the routines, habits, and structures that once kept you grounded are now holding you back. Growth exposes the limits of old systems, and the real challenge isn’t pushing harder — it’s knowing when to pivot. #RunTheSystem #SystemShift#EvolvingIdentity#ChasingExcellence#LessFrictionMoreMomentum#PassionDriven#MindsetMatters#GrowthSeason#RebuildTheSystem#PurposeDriven#HighPerformanceHabits#ChangeYourSystem#AlignmentOverIntensity#ProcessOverEverything#IntentionalLiving

    Shoes Untied and Other Things That Didn't Work

    A week of training that felt heavier than it should have. A fast run with a sky‑high heart rate. A system stretched thin. In this episode, Chris breaks down what it means to feel “off,” why feedback matters more than mileage, and how shrinking the system can actually rebuild momentum. This is a reset week built on clarity, intention, and clean, winnable reps. #RunTheSystem#Podcast#RunningPodcast #Mindset #TrainingJourney #SelfDisciplin #PersonalGrowth #Consistency #FitnessMindset #LifeSystems

    The Starting Line

    Welcome to the very first episode of Run the System — a podcast about building a life through discipline, movement, and intentional design. In this introductory episode, Chris lays out the foundation of what this show is, why it exists, and what it means to “run the system” in real time. This episode sets the tone for everything that follows: honest storytelling, practical frameworks, and a commitment to showing the work behind personal growth. Chris shares the origins of the Run the System philosophy, the role running and training play in shaping identity, and how systems—not motivation—create lasting change. You’ll hear the vision for the show, the structure of future episodes, and the blend of weekly reflections, guest conversations, and narrative arcs that will guide the journey. Whether you’re an athlete, a builder, or someone trying to bring more intention into your life, this episode invites you into a space where consistency matters more than perfection and small actions compound into something meaningful. This is the starting line. Let’s run the system.
