Real Life Runners with Angie and Kevin Brown — Fitness & Nutrition
Real Life Runners with Angie and Kevin Brown

This is a show to help real life runners to improve their running and their life, through conversations about training, nutrition, health and wellness, family, and all the crazy things that life throws at us. We want to live the best life we can and to help others do the same. In each episode, we will tackle topics that will make us better runners, better parents, better friends, better partners, and better people. The lessons that we learn from running can carry over into all aspects of our life, and we are here to explore those connections through current research, our experiences, and stories from real people out on the roads and trails, just like you. We are Kevin and Angie Brown, husband and wife, mom and dad, coaches, and runners. Kevin is a marathoner who has been coaching runners for over a decade. Angie holds her doctorate degree in physical therapy and uses running as part of her integrated fitness routine. Together, we want to help make running more accessible to more people, so that more people can gain the benefits of being a Real Life Runner.

Is it better to jump into a new situation without full preparation and see what happens or to keep learning, practicing, and mastering your craft before testing it out. What if you take your shot and miss? What if you wait and miss your opportunity. Practice, or put yourself out there? When is it time to take your shot?

And yes, you guessed it. This episode was partly inspired by Hamilton. If you haven't seen it yet, go do it now!

147: Does Goodness Lead to Greatness or Prevent It? Jul 02, 2020

Show notes

There are a couple of differing schools of thought floating through the world of self improvement. Doing good enough consistently will add up to monumental and drastic changes. Alternatively, we should not be satisfied with being good enough and should be striving for greatness. So which is it. Does consistently good create great, or does a sense of satisfaction with being good prevent you from being great?

146: Change is Necessary for Success (in Running and Life) Jun 25, 2020

Show notes

They say that insanity is repeating the same action and expecting different results. However, change is incredibly hard, so we seek excuses and hold tightly to our self-imposed limits. We do things the way we always have and hope that if we keep going for long enough the outcome will be different. How big is your potential once you open your eyes to a world outside of your comforting habits?

145: How Runners Support Runners with Corey Brown Jun 18, 2020

Show notes

We talk about running as a universal sport. It has a low barrier for entry and not a lot of rules to follow. You can participate solo or in a group. You can run races of many distances and on various terrain, or not race at all. We believe that races highlight the best aspects of running, in which many people come together to accomplish the same goal, but by following their own path. In the race environment, they can accomplish more than what they may have been able to do alone. Today, we cover the universal nature of running, and how our journeys may look different, but are in fact very similar and all intertwined.

Highlights of the episode:

11:30 How running is contagious and makes us feel like we can do more

12:20 The fear of being last

22:25 What being a Real Life Runners means to her

23:00 Other struggles and challenges on Corey's running journey

29:30 What is Black Girls Run and Why is it an important part of the running community

39:20 How is running different for members of the black community

50:50 How running has had a positive impact in her life

52:40 How to foster a culture of equality in running

144: Action Creates Clarity Jun 11, 2020

Show notes

There is some prevailing wisdom in the personal growth world that taking action will guide you in what to do next. The thought is rooted in the idea that staying frozen while clinging to perfection will not get you anywhere, so you simply need to do something. This striving for constant action can become counterproductive when the action is treated as the end goal. Action should inspire the next step. Action should lead to evaluation and a better understanding of the next step that is more likely to direct you toward your current goal. In this episode, we cover the benefits of taking actions as well as the issues with taking action just to do something.

143: Running: Unity Through Challenges Jun 04, 2020

Show notes

Running should be an act of unity. It is a sport with a low barrier of entry and people of all races, ages, and abilities can connect over the challenge of a run. While we are currently without races, we are not without challenges. Now seems like an important time to step back and see that the powerful statement "I am a runner and runners do hard things" applies to the roads and the trails, but to so much more in our lives as well.

142: The Pros and Cons of Labeling Ourselves As "Runner" May 28, 2020

Show notes

Personal statements that begin with "I am" carry power and strength. They define us and lead our actions. They are our label, often empowering, but sometimes limiting. We also put labels on the world around us. We group people together as though they are the same person. We put simple labels onto situations and the people around us to make life easier. While this is often done subconsciously, and rarely for a malevolent reason, labels can be incredibly detrimental. Other people can feel confined or burdened by the label. On this episode, we cover the two sides to the power of labels.

141: Structure Creates Success May 21, 2020

Show notes

Structure and plans matter if you actually want to be successful. Raw talent will take you pretty far. Working really hard will get you pretty far. Most people are not born with Olympic level running prowess. Even runners who do hard things would appreciate some things being easier. Today we cover the importance of structure in reaching your goals plus why you may be resisting structure in the first place.

140: What Happened To My Running Motivation? May 14, 2020

Show notes

Lack of motivation is a real issue that many runners are facing. While it's easy to simply say, choose to be motivated, it's a little more complicated that just that. We live in a world full of options and choices. We are often bombarded with endless possibilities. Choice creates a feeling of freedom. In this current time period, the power of choice is becoming strikingly clear. Today, we want to talk about how you have always had choice and how you can use that to highlight your power and bring the most joy to your running and life. This power of choice can help bring us out of a motivational funk.

139: TMI? Some Things Only Runners Understand May 07, 2020

Show notes

Running has a way of bringing down some of the privacy walls we put up around us. There is a saying that everything comes out on a long run. Sharing personal experiences and feelings can be very cathartic and we have mentioned that before. Today, we go intimate, but not in a super emotional way. We cover the areas of running that most people just do not understand unless they are a runner. From feet to tummy trouble, it's time to open up about the funkier side of running.

Highlights of the Episode:

The runner connection. 2:17

Blisters and easy fixes. 8:31

Purple and missing toe nails. 18:08

Choosing the right running shoe size. 18:11

For female runners: The connection between pregnancy and your running shoe size. 23:00

Chafing – what most people have probably experienced. 26:20

Tummy troubles: why do runners end up having GI issues?. 33:43

Bowel movements. 37:17

Runner's trots. 38:50

Reconsidering your food intake types before and during a run. 41:00

Clothes and shoes and how to get rid of their unpleasant scent. 44:50

Is running really gross? 57:05
