    229. How to Have More Confidence Now

    229. How to Have More Confidence Now

    One of the big keys to achieving anything significant in your life – losing weight and keeping it off, running a marathon – is confidence.

    Being confident that you can accomplish something big will make that accomplishment practically inevitable.

    The opposite is also true however – a severe lack of confidence will make it basically impossible to reach that big goal.

    So how do you get more confidence? Well, you are in luck because that’s what’s on the agenda here today.

    In this episode, I explain what confidence is, how it might just be the game-changer you’re looking for, and how to have more confidence now.

    227. The Power of Practicing Mindfulness

    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.

    226. What’s the Best Pacing Strategy?

    226. What’s the Best Pacing Strategy?

    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.
