Being Hurt Mar 14, 2024

Show notes

Episode 41: Being Hurt
This episode is inspired by so many of you asking me what has inspired the way I talk about and handle injuries. Well, we're going to need to run down one of my memory lanes. This episode begins with a story about my junior year in high school and my first serious injury that just happened to happen when I was first getting serious about running.
The lessons from those 6 months when I was a (very cute... dare I say, adorable) sixteen year old are still being taught to me today. I talk about the need to work with experts, be an active participant in your healing, stay involved with the sport and your teammates, continue to cross starting lines, do those things while you're recovering that you couldn't do when you were running, and talk and write about and share your hurt.
I hope thing episode about me being hurt and what I learned from being hurt can help you... whether you are hurt or not.
Cheers and thank you for listening.
Coach Bennett

Answering Your (Mostly About) Running Questions Mar 07, 2024

Show notes

Episode 40: Answering Your (Mostly About) Running Questions
Well, I put together 14... maybe it's 15... could actually be 13 of the most popular questions that get sent my way and I answer them (as best as I can) on this episode. Questions like do I need to run a marathon, how many days should I run, how do I start running, and why do you have that mustache?
You know... the questions I get asked the most.
So, sit back or start your run or get walking because this is a great episode. And thank you for sending in so many questions! Keep them coming!
Cheers,

How To Make Adjustments So You Run Better Feb 29, 2024

Show notes

Episode 39: How To Make Adjustments So You Run Better
Coaching isn't about writing a training plan. It's about making adjustments to the training plan. And this episode is all about those adjustments that sometimes need to be made. This is an important episode because so many athletes believe making adjustments to a run, training plan, or workout schedule is a sign of weakness or lack of commitment. That's just silly balderdash!
So listen up because this episode is going to give you the knowledge and the confidence to make adjustments when and if needed. And you'll realize that what makes a training plan or run great are the proper adjustments to that training plan or run.
Enjoy the episode and thank you for listening!
Cheers,
Coach Bennett

Recover Like A Badass Feb 15, 2024

Show notes

Episode 37: Recover Like A Badass
Great running is dependent on great recovery so it makes sense to talk about how you can recover like a badass. And if you can recover like a badass you will be increasing the possibility of running like one! So, listen up! Because it's time to learn how to recover better... and therefore run better. By the way, recovering like a badass is about more than recovering from running. But you knew that already, right?

(2:30) Start with what you've already started
(3:45) Sleep Better
(5:55) Less Booze = Better Snooze
(8:40) Chill Out

(13:05) Develop the Habit of Getting Sleepy
(20:42) Hydration Motivation
(26:13) Fueling: It's Not What You Keep Out That Matters... It's What You Put In
(30:45) Laugh Your Way To Better Recovery

Coach Bennett

Getting Comfortable Being Comfortable Feb 08, 2024

Show notes

Episode 36: Getting Comfortable Being Comfortable
Yes, you read it correctly. Sure, you probably hear about how important it is to learn how to get comfortable being uncomfortable. But you know what's even more important? Getting comfortable being comfortable. It's not only more important it's also harder! You read that correctly too!
It's easier to get people to run too hard than easy enough. It's harder to get people to run easy! And that's because it's just so hard for so many of us to be comfortable simply being comfortable. We think we are not running hard enough. We believe we are not trying hard enough. We doubt that what we are doing is enough if we're comfortable doing it. I made this episode because I want to end that nonsense. So, settle in and enjoy the episode.
And special thanks to the great mindset coach tammie bennett of the show up society for gracing us with another mindset minute to close out the episode.
You can check out coach tammie and the show up society here.
Cheers,
Coach Bennett

Mistakes I've Made So You Don't Have To Feb 01, 2024

Show notes

EP 35: Mistakes I've Made So You Don't Have To
I don't believe that you need to fall down to know that it hurts. I don't believe that you need to make a mistake to learn from one. I believe that we can learn from each others mistakes and stumbles and falls. That's why I'm sharing a whole bunch of my mistakes in the hope that doing so will keep you from making the same gaffes.
Some of these mistakes are seemingly obvious ones. Well, the obvious mistakes are obvious because they happen the most. The vast majority of mess ups that I share are directly related to running . Some are tangentially related. And there's even one that's just a grooming mistake. But there is no need for any of you to make that mistake either.
I hope you enjoy the episode and have some fun at my expense. And if this episode helps you have better runs or keeps a goatee off your face... then I've done my job.
Cheers,
Coach Bennett
(0:00) Intro
(2:34) You don't need to run on ice. I've done it.
(6:50) You don't need to do a beer mile or chocolate milk mile. I did both.
(10:30) I've run with a phone in my hand... you shouldn't do that
(13:40) Don't run in shoes that don't fit. I've done it.
(17:13) You don't need to not have toilet paper when you need it.
(19:40) You don't need to run a race you shouldn't run. I did.
(23:35) Don't tell yourself you can't race because you're not in great shape. I did that.
(25:52) Don't run in a thunderstorm. Idiots do that. I did that. I was an idiot.
(27:39) You don't need to hang out in the sun unprotected for hours. I did it. It sucks.
(32:21) I've run when I was sick. I've run when I was hurt. You don't need to do that.
(34:47) You don't need to have a goatee. Ever. I had one once. It was a disaster.
(36:32) Don't eat a pepperoni stromboli the night before an early morning race.
(38:45) Thought I could get hydrated during a run. I couldn't. You probably can't either.
(40:14) I used to say I hated running. It wasn't true and it hurt my running. Don't do that.
