Episode 130. How To End The Year Running

The end of the year is not the time that people start running. In fact, the end of the year os when most people stop running. Poor weather, less hours of sunlight, holiday obligations and travel, work and life stressors - it all adds up to less if any running getting done at all. That's why we have Episode #130! Because we're going to flip the script. We're not going to wait until the New Year to start running or start running again. This good old year we're in is good enough and so are we! So, listen up because this epsiode of Coach Bennett's Podcast is full of great running advice and tips you can use to make sure you end this year running.

Cheers and thank you for listening.

Episode 129. Maybe Is A Power

I headed out on my run today and it was drizzling. I though to myself that maybe I'll run 15 minutes... but maybe I'll run 20 minutes... and maybe I'll run 25 minutes. The power here resided in the word maybe. The ownership and the excitement and the honesty and the possibility was all birthed and made possible by that word maybe. This episode is about how you can make your running better by incorporating that word... maybe.. into your training and your running and your living, Thank you for listening!

Cheers,

Coach Bennett

Episode 128. Winter Is Coming. Get Ready To Run It.

Winter is coming. Just ask Jon Snow or really anyone from the Stark family. All my Game of Throne nerds are nodding their heads. The rest of you are confused. That's okay! Because this episode is actually about running. Running in winter to be specific. I start by telling you how to get into the groove. Yes, there will be a special nod to Madonna. And I'll talk about the importance of getting into gear and getting inspired and getting intelligent and getting inside and getting interesting and a whole lot more. So, get cozy. Grab a nice hot cup of something something. Maybe snuggle up with a blanket or quilt (shout out to Coach Tammie). Maybe put on some winter running apparel and hit the trails. It's up to you. Just make sure you hit play and listen to the podcast because it's a good one and it'll help you run a better winter.

Cheers,

Coach Bennett

I know you all wanted Coach Tammie to host another episode. I get it. She rocks. But you do know she has her very own podcast, right? You can listen to it here.

Episode 127. Now What?

The race is over. The training cycle is finished. You crossed. the finish line. Now what? I've wanted to do this episode for a few weeks. So, I was super excited when it came time to record it. The problem was that I had a bad cough. The kind of cough that won't let you speak more than two sentences without coughing. And, I'm in a car driving across the country. Luckily, I happen to know the best coach in the world AND I'm driving across the country with her. So, problem solved. You get the first GUEST HOST of Coach Bennett's Podcast - the one and only Tammie Bennett of the Show Up Society. Tammie takes over the show. And I just drove and tried not to cough the entire time. Yes, she recorded the entire podcast from the passengers seat of our car while we drove through Iowa. Tammie kept saying Nebraska. I had burned through the Cornhusker state before we started recording. But enough of my driving prowess. The real winners are all of you listeners because Coach Tammie is going to talk to you about how best to handle that time AFTER the big race, presentation, event, day, moment. Enjoy the show!

Cheers and thank you for listening,

Coach Bennett

Make sure you follow tammie and. check out all that she has to offer. She's a stone cold rock star and if you're looking for someone to help you get out of your own way... she's the one. You can check out the Show Up Society here.

Episode 126. Just Wait A Minute

Sometimes all it takes to set a day straight or a run right is a minute. But you'll need the strength and confidence to wait a minute and reset or refresh or retry or redo. I did just that today. Because I needed to tell myself to just wait a minute and take that minute to recharge. So, take 30 minutes here and now and listen to the latest episode of Coach Bennett's Podcast before you head out for a recovery run or long run or fartlek run or decide to start running again after a race or an injury or a training cycle.

Cheers and thank you for listening!

Episode 125. A Better Race

This is a special one. Because it's episode 125! And because running a race is special. And because we have Coach Bennett the Greater as a guest. That's right! Tammie Bennett of the Show Up Society is back! And this is also a special episode because you all asked for an episode on what you could do before race day and on the starting line on race day and on the other side of that starting line on race day so you have a better chance to run a better race. Well, you asked and this episode delivers. And yes, this episode is about running and this episode is not about running. Thank you so much to Tammie and thank you so much to all of you for listening and sharing this episode and this sport with so many.

I appreciate you all.

Cheers,

Coach Bennett

Episode 124. Moving On

Sometimes the hardest part of a running a race isn't the race. And sometimes it's not even the training you need to do so you can run race that race. Sometimes the hardest part is after the race. It's letting go. It's moving on. We can give so much to a training cycle. We can put so much into the journey. We can invest so much into race day and the outcome. We can suddenly find ourselves lost and adrift when it's all over. This episode is about acknowledging all of this. And it's about how you can handle the process of moving on so you can move forward. Yes, this is about running. And this is not about running.

Cheers and thank you for listening!

Episode 123. Success

Success. What is it? How do you define it? How do you measure it? What happens when you don't reach a goal? Is there such a thing as partial success? So many questions. Even more answers in this episode. Inspired by getting to talk to so many of you at the Berlin Marathon, Portland Marathon, Chicago Marathon, I wanted to make sure we talked about success from the point of view of the athletes and a coach. So, check it out. And thank you for inspiring me with your efforts and attitudes and running.

Cheers and thank you for listening!
