    From Zero to Marathon: Building Consistency and Breaking Barriers

    Send us a text Aleksandar Matic shares his journey from beginner to sub-three-hour marathoner and reveals the secrets to building consistency in your running practice. • Coach Aleksandar emphasizes breaking the "all or nothing" mindset new runners often bring to training • Running success requires building block by block rather than immediate perfection • Learning your relationship with running helps you discover what approach works best for your body • Progress in running often transfers to other areas of life - clients frequently get promotions after completing races • Consistency trumps perfection - keeping momentum with shorter workouts is better than skipping sessions entirely • Exercise improves work productivity despite physical fatigue • The key to marathon success is high weekly mileage to build endurance for the final miles • Core strength becomes crucial when legs fatigue in late marathon stages • Novablast shoes are versatile for multiple training types - save carbon-plated shoes for race day • Don't fear starting slower than you think you should - no pace is too slow for beginners Aleksandar Matic Links  Brian's Run Pod has become interactive with the audience.

  2. The Balkan Running Renaissance

    The Balkan Running Renaissance

    Send us a text Aleksandar Matic , a software engineer turned running coach, shares his journey from viewing running as punishment in Serbian schools to becoming the voice behind one of the largest running communities in the Balkans. His patient coaching approach has helped over 200 runners complete their first races and transformed their bucket-list goals into sustainable, healthy lifestyles. • Growing up in Serbia, running was used as punishment in schools, creating negative associations with the sport • Aleksandar's perspective changed during high school in the United States, where he experienced a supportive running community • As a late bloomer to marathon running, Aleksandar took 10 years to attempt his first marathon out of respect for the distance • His coaching philosophy emphasizes consistency and understanding individual capacity rather than focusing on pace • The Belgrade Marathon has grown from 2,000 participants with reluctant community support to 15,000 runners and citywide celebration • Aleksandar identifies the millennial and Gen Z generations as driving the cultural shift toward running in the Balkans • Creating running content on TikTok requires balancing popular topics with content that provides genuine value • The challenge for both runners and content creators is avoiding the trap of seeking quick results instead of building consistency.

    Running Deeper: Cadence, Genetics, and the Psychology of Ultra Runners

    Send us a text We explore the fascinating world of cadence running with running experts Sophie and Lydia from the Strongest Stride podcast, diving into how to incorporate this technique into your running schedule and the impacts of different running forms. • Heel striking acts like a brake on your forward momentum, potentially increasing injury risk around the knee joint • The 180 steps per minute cadence isn't a universal target – individual factors determine optimal cadence • Consistency in training and building strength matter more than perfect form for most runners • The genetic components of running ability play a significant role at the elite level • Australia's running culture has transformed from a niche hobby to mainstream activity since COVID-19 • The psychology behind why runners voluntarily subject themselves to suffering provides insights into human motivation • Every runner has a unique story and journey worth exploring • Ocean swimming, cycling, tennis and soccer provide great cross-training alternatives Connect with the Strongest Stride podcast on all major podcast platforms and find them on Instagram and YouTube @StrongerStride.  Brian's Run Pod has become interactive with the audience.

    Running Resilience: How Physiotherapy Transforms Body and Mind

    Send us a text Brian's RunPod welcomes physiotherapists Sophie and Lydia from the Stronger Stride podcast who reveal how physical rehabilitation builds both body strength and mental resilience in injured runners. • The psychological impact of running injuries extends beyond physical pain to isolation from running communities and endorphin deprivation • Successful rehabilitation requires patient commitment and understanding why specific exercises matter • Physiotherapy success comes from patients following through consistently with prescribed exercises • Effective strength training for runners should focus on 3-4 sets of 6-8 reps with relatively heavy weights • Key strength exercises include squats, deadlifts, single-leg movements, and calf raises • Plyometric exercises like pogo hops improve running efficiency by enhancing tendon elasticity • Cadence adjustments (increasing steps per minute) can significantly reduce knee pain for many runners • Running form doesn't have one "correct" style—both heel striking and forefoot running can be efficient  Brian's Run Pod has become interactive with the audience.

  8. Unlocking Your Running Potential Through PNF Stretching

    Unlocking Your Running Potential Through PNF Stretching

    Send us a text Vanessa and Beverly from Stretch Life explain how assisted stretching through Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) can prevent common running injuries and improve performance. They share insights on why proper stretching techniques are crucial for both physical recovery and mental wellbeing. • Runners get injured due to increased tension in muscle groups that restricts movement and alters running mechanics • Poor body alignment awareness causes many runners to develop compensation patterns that lead to injury • PNF stretching both increases flexibility and engages muscles during resistance, improving balance and functional mobility • Unlike static stretching, PNF reduces cortisol levels and calms the nervous system, creating an emotional release for many clients • Home stretching cannot replicate professional PNF techniques and may cause micro-tears that lead to increased tightness • Static stretching should be done post-workout, while dynamic mobility exercises are better for warm-ups • Stretch Life offers specialized stretching sequences specifically designed for runners' bodies and common problem areas • Regular professional stretching supports long-term mobility and helps maintain functional movement into older age If you're interested in trying PNF stretching, check out Stretch Life for their runner-specific stretching packages to prevent injuries and improve your performance.
