Show notes

A listener asks Coach MK for advice on building a bridge to some toxic co-workers, and Coach advises her to trick them into setting that bridge on fire by channeling the wisdom of the one and only Lil Jon. NOTE: Coach misspoke in this episode, Lil Jon’s most famous accompaniment is actually ‘Yeah” by Usher, not “Get Low” by Ludacris as she says in the podcast. http://www.cc.com/video-clips/ozom53/chappelle-s-show-a-moment-in-the-life-of-lil-jon---flying

Today’s Mantra is a response to a listener, who on the eve of celebrating a year of sobriety is also facing a surgeon’s recommendation to give up running. Coach MK reminds her that her story is arc-ing, it is far from finished, that she is just doing what people in training do- the assigned work.

1/29/19: I’m Human Jan 29, 2019

Show notes

Show notes

It’s MONDAY! Yay! Are you ready to adult? If the answer is no, Coach MK is here to remind you that it’s okay to not be okay, the pressure you feel is real, and 2016 Britney Spears is proof positive that you can survive damn near anything you day throws at you. You’d never know 2007 even happened to her.

1/26/19: I NEED NEW FRIENDS!!! Jan 26, 2019

Show notes

In this special Arches Ultra Race edition of the mantrapod, Coach MK reminds The Terrible Choice Crew to focus on what binds them together is trust. Blind trust. Illogical levels of trust...and it always pays off.

Show notes

Coach MK (literally) hides under the bed to record this podcast because allll her kids are in her bed tonight. She is headed to Arches National Park in Moab, Utah tomorrow to support one of her two small, tight, and very close knit groups of clients...who decided to run their first 50k in Moab in the middle of winter. In the moments when things start to suck, Coach MK wants them to remember it’s never about the running, you chose epic shit with amazing people.

1/24/19: I. DO. EPIC. SHIT!!!!! Jan 24, 2019

Show notes

Coach MK responds to a listener that is feeling a little underprepared and overwhelmed for an upcoming race. Coach MK reminds her that ‘not totally overprepared’ is hardly tantamount to ‘underprepared’ and that she is badass AF for having a YOLO hobby like half marathons on top of all the other epic shit she does.
