Patience Aug 15, 2024

Show notes

Episode 63. Patience.
All we need is just a little patience. That's what Guns N' Roses said at least. And they were close. We need more than patience. But we do definitely need some patience. This episode is all about one of the essential ingredients to success in running. And it's an important episode because so many runners misconstrue what patience really means. It's not inaction. It's not wasting time. It's not being detached or complacent wither. Patience demands perseverance. And it demands courage and hope. And all of those things help you become a better runner... and a better person too. So, enjoy the episode and please be patient with some of my rambling. You'll be better for it. And thank you to coach tammie of the Show Up Society for another great Mindset Minute.
Cheers,
Coach Bennett

Confidence Aug 08, 2024

Show notes

Episode 62. Confidence.
This one is an important one because success in this most excellent sport of ours is so dependent on your mental and mindful state. And whether or not you are confident plays such a big part on both your mental and mindful state. The problem is that so many athletes and coaches (and parents and teammates) don't understand what confidence really is (and isn't) or how to work on it. Make sure you give this episode a listen and share it with athletes, coaches and parents because we are

Mix It Up! Aug 01, 2024

Show notes

Episode 61: Mix It Up!
That's right. Diversity wins. That simple sentence is one of my foundational truths as a coach. And I'm not just talking about making sure that you're running recovery runs and long runs and fartlek runs and tempo runs and intervals and hill workouts. I do mean all that too. But I'm also talking about diversifying your purposes and your goals. And I'm talking about bringing diversity into your mindset and how you measure the success of your running. I'm talking about making sure that consistency doesn't become constantly. And I'm talking about diversity should lead to flexibility and should strengthen your strengths and strengthen your weaknesses. I talk about so much more but you are just going to need to listen to the episode to find out what else all that is.
There's also a Mindset Minute with the always great coach tammie of the show up society. It's an all around great episode. And yes, this is about running and this is not about running.
Cheers and thank you for listening!

How To Train For Nothing At All Jul 25, 2024

Show notes

Episode 60: How To Train For Nothing At All.
It gets asked all the time. What should I do? I'm just coming back. I just started. I just finished my big race. I don't want to race. What... should... I... do... because I'm not training for anything? Don't worry! I got you covered! Episode 60 is all about answering one of the most asked questions that I get. We'll talk about the questions you need to ask yourself and the freedom you need to give yourself and the respect you need to give yourself when you are running and training for nothing at all. And we got a Mindset Minute with coach tammie bennett of the show up society. You think I'm going to miss out on having a Mindset Minute when I have access to the mindset coach extraordinaire? No way! So, enjoy the show and please share it with anyone and everyone that needs it.
Cheers,
Coach Bennett

Running Isn't Boring (But Some Runners Are) Jul 18, 2024

Show notes

Episode 59: Running Isn't Boring (But Some Runners Are).
I hear it. I hear it all the time. Running is boring. No. No, it's not. Running the same run every day will get boring though. Running the same pace every day will probably get boring. Running with no purpose, running that's always too hard, running that's always too easy... yes, all of those things done consistently can lead to one thinking that running is boring. But, let me tell you this... it ain't the running that's boring. It's the runner. It's not running that's deciding to do those things! It's the runner!
This episode breaks down how we can become boring runners and more importably how to make sure you don't become a boring runner and how to keep your running fresh. Sounds like a great episode, right? Well, it's even better than what you're thinking! Because there is a Mindset Minute with coach tammie bennett of the Show Up Society!
Enjoy the episode!
Cheers,
Coach Bennett

Rest Days Jul 11, 2024

Show notes

Episode 59. Rest Days
Rest Days. Their essential to every athlete. In fact, great running is dependent on great recovery. So, why do we have such a hard time taking the rest we need? Why are we so bad at recovery? Maybe it's because we're looking at rest and recovery the wrong ways. Maybe we're being told the wrong things about work and workloads. Maybe we're not being told the right things. Well, my hope is that this episode helps a little bit. Because we have a rest and recovery problem.
Cheers,
Coach Bennett

Slow Down Jul 04, 2024

Show notes

Episode 57: Slow Down.
Sometimes you need to slow down to do it right, gain control, maintain form, be present, be your best. And sometimes you need to slow down to speed up, go faster, go further, do more. This is about running, for sure. Easy runs and long runs and speed runs. But this is not about running too. Sometimes you need to slow down to be in the moment, the conversation, the life you are living.
This one was inspired by the Olympic Trials but also inspired by the trials we get through each and every day. Hope you enjoy the episode.
Cheers,
Coach Bennett

Failing Not Failure Jun 27, 2024

Show notes

Episode 56. Failing Not Failure
This episode is straight up inspired by the Olympic Trials. There is far more "failing" going on than "succeeding" at the Olympic Trials if we are narrowly defining failing. Well, this episode is about blowing up narrow definitions. Because this is what you need to know... if you are setting big goals, taking on great challenges, chasing after extraordinary achievements.... you are going to come up short from time to time... you are going to stumble... you are going to fail. That does not make you are a failure. It makes you a badass.
Are you fired up? I'm fired up! Because this is a great episode and we even get a Mindset Minute with the always extraordinary coach tammie bennett of the Show Up Society.
Cheers,
Coach Bennett

Finding Your Pace Jun 20, 2024

Show notes

Episode 55. Finding Your Pace
It's one of those things that so many runners are looking for... hunting for... searching for. Their PACE! If only there was a map. Well, this episode tries to help you find that elusive pace or should I say elusive paces? Because you have more than one pace. That's because you have more than one effort you run with. And you have more than one purpose to run for.

There are Easy Runs & Tempo Runs & Fartlek Runs & Intervals & Long Runs. They all ask for different paces. Terrain and weather and life and fitness demand that you adjust your paces. You've got strengths and weaknesses and they both can have an effect on your paces. And all your paces change because of changes in places and head-spaces and faces and races.
Does it seem like a lot? Don't worry! We cover it all in 46 minutes. And we even have time for a Mindset Minute with coach tammie bennett of the Show Up Society and we also open up the mailbag! Episode #55 is a great one. Thank you for checking it out!
Cheers,
Coach Bennett

Running Streaks Jun 13, 2024

Show notes

Episode 54:
Running Streaks
Let's streak! This episode is all about streaking! Sounds so sassy... but it's really just a nerdy little episode about running streaks. I just hit 6 years in a row running at least 5 minutes a day. But this show isn't about my streak. It's about how best to start and continue or end your own running streaks. I go over the pro's and the cons and the best practices and warning signs that a running streak So press play and enjoy the show and maybe even start a Coach Bennett's Podcast listening streak! Just saying... it's an idea. Oh yeah, one more thing. The Mindset Minute with the always great mindset coach extraordinaire tammie bennett is back!
