Episode 110. Risk and Reward.

Some risks can lead to great rewards. Some rewards are not worth the risks. Whether you realize it or not every run and race you do and rest day you take has risks and rewards associated with them. This episode is all about the relationship between the two. This episode was inspired by the mile run by Faith Kipyegon in her Breaking 4 attempt and the 1500m race run by Jessica Hull at the Prefontaine Classic the following week. Enjoy the episode and be sure to check out the links to both those races in the show notes below.

Cheers and thank you for listening.

Episode 109. It's OK To Not Be OK

It's OK to be OK. It's OK to not be OK. But it's not OK to say you're OK when you're not OK. And it sounds like a lot of you are not OK. The good thing is that you are reaching out to me and admitting that you're not OK. That takes honesty and strength. Both of those things help you when it comes to running by the way. You're also reaching out and asking for some help. (Asking for help is another sign or strength.)

That's why I'm doing this episode. And if you are OK... this episode is for you too. Because even though this time you are OK there will be some times when you are not OK. So, this episode will help for those times. OK?

Let me tell you this, too. If you can deal with negative (and positive) stressors in your life better then you will run better. More importantly, you'll live better. And if you were wondering... yes, this episode is about running. And this episode is not about running.

Cheers and thank you for listening.

Episode 108. How To Slow Down (So You Can Speed Up)

Sometimes you need to slow down so you can speed up. Yes, it makes sense. And it's true. In fact, it's essential to understand if you want to get better at this fantastic sport. That's why we're going to talk about it on this episode. You'll learn why it's important and how to do it just by listening to the show. Pretty good deal if you ask me. So, sit back or stand up or go for a walk or a run and enjoy the podcast. And yes, this episode is about running and this is not about running. Thank you for listening!

Cheers,

Coach Bennett
