Mindset Matters: All About Racing Nov 09, 2023

Show notes

Episode 23. Mindset Matters: All About Racing
Do we have a special episode for you? Oh baby yes! We've got Mindset Coach Extraordinaire tammie bennett (she loves lower case letters) of The Show Up Society. We asked for questions last week and you responded with so many questions we literally had to delay this episode because it took too long to record and edit and upload. That's my way of blaming you for this dropping episode late and also celebrating you for making this episode a reality. So, sit back... or run with with this... or walk with it.... or sit in traffic with this fantastic episode. And thank you for listening!
Here are some links for you to freak out about... in a good way...

Could You Be A Runnerd? Nov 02, 2023

Show notes

Episode 22. Could You Be A Runnerd?
This episode was inspired by a Coach Bennett's Newsletter from September 2023 that was inspired by an Instagram post I wrote in 2015. And after feedback from the readers of the newsletter asking for more information about runnerdism I finally caved and... well... here we are.
This episode will not only define what a Runnerd actually is but will also celebrate what it means to be a runnerd and even give some background on Coach Bennett's journey from an adorable and wildly charismatic kid to a handsome and wildly charismatic runnerd. So, calling all runnerds! Get ready to listen to an episode that is all about you and your passion and your love. It's about you. Because you nerd out about running and that is glorious because that makes you a runnerd!
Hope you love the episode and thank you for listening!
Cheers,
Coach Bennett

Episode 21: Answering Your Mailbag Questions
You've asked for it. I've hinted at it. Well, it's finally here! The mailbag has been ripped open and we're going to read some letters! Let's go! I read 14 letters... and that means I didn't get through all of them... not even close. But that also means that we get to do this again and again and again. So, without any further ado... let's start reading the mail!

This episode just has some great running advice. Hence the name of the episode. This isn't an exhaustive list... it's just some great running advice. I've got more. This is just some of what I got. I can't give you everything on episode 19. You wouldn't come back for episode 20 and I want you back. And that's not all this episode has! I go over... in detail... the Chicago Marathon weekend... which was awesome. There is also the mail bag AND another Mindful Minute with coach tammie. It's an all around great episode.

Race Day Oct 05, 2023

Show notes

Ep. 18 Race Day.
Coach Bennett guides you through the 24 hours BEFORE your race. You'll learn how Coach Bennett set up his athletes for the best chance to be successful once they crossed the starting line by making sure everything they did during the day leading up to that starting... set them up top be successful.
It's about alarm clocks and dinner plans. It's about reservations and breakfast. It's about packing bags and making checklists. It's about sleeping masks and extra rolls of toilet paper. It's about more comfort and less stress. It's about so much more.
And it's about more than a race because all the advice, tips, and earned wisdom that Coach Bennett shares during the episode can be used for a big day or an important meeting or a presentation or exam.
Because this is about running... and this is not about running.
Some links for you to freak out about (freak out in a good way):

Listen to my fantastic playlist of great U2 songs (there are many, many more great U2 songs that are not on the playlist too)

What You Need To Start Sep 28, 2023

Show notes

Ep. 17: What You Need To Start
This is episode is for everyone. Because this episode is about what you need to start, start over, or start running again. And I bet you'll be surprised that it's less than you thought and that you have more of what you need than you think. This is a good one... so get ready to be inspired and motivated and excited. We've also got another Mindset Minute with coach tammie of The Show Up Society and we even break out the mail bag again for a really moving letter from the UK.
Thank you for listening... and for subscribing to the podcast... and for sharing the podcast with everyone you know... and for leaving a great comment so the one comment that the guy left about me rambling too much gets diminished by your rave 5 star review... and thank you for listening to the same podcast episodes not once but two or three or four times.
Cheers,
Coach Bennett

How Being A Better Teammate Makes You A Better Runner. Sep 22, 2023

Show notes

Episode 16: How Being A Better Teammate Makes You A Better Runner.
They can be your greatest source of strength or your greatest weakness. Teammates. And if you want to be the best you can be out there on the roads and trails and track and off them as well... then you need to be the best teammate you can be to others and to yourself. Coach Bennett breaks down why becoming a better teammate leads to better running. There is also our first Mindset Minute with Mindset Coach tammie bennett (yes, she still loves lower case letters) and some talk about the Pre Classic and the Sea Hear Now Festival where Coach Bennett rocked his proverbial socks off. This is not only an important episode... it's a really important episode. Is that redundant?
Yes. But it's still true and it's true.
Cheers and thank you for listening... and sharing... and subscribing!
