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.

128: Stop Lying To Yourself Feb 20, 2020

Show notes

If you tell someone about your big goals with confidence that you will achieve them, many will just smile and nod. Those who do acknowledge your goal, will often point out you are illogical, filled with wishful thinking, and are just a dreamer who should come back to reality. Some people take those comments and thrive. What are you supposed to do when the negative comments are coming from you?

127: Train Smarter, Not Harder (What Does That Even Mean?) Feb 13, 2020

Show notes

Many runners train as hard as they can every time they run. If they are not exhausted by the end of a workout, they feel they have not maximized their time. This leads to a plateau, boredom, injury or burnout. Wouldn't it be nice to make progress without having to feel so tired all the time?

126: What is the Next Right Step? (And How to Get Unstuck) Feb 06, 2020

Show notes

We all want to become better runners and better humans. We know there are steps that should be taken to move us along this path. But life keeps getting in the way and the excuses are so easily found. Without a plan for moving forward, we will fall behind. In this episode, we go narrower than a plan, and focus on just doing the next action, and then the one after that.

125: The Thing You Do Everyday That Affects Your Running Success Jan 30, 2020

Show notes

If comparison is the thief of joy, judgment is the subtle temptation to steal. In this episode we continue to discuss our need to compare ourselves and how our desire to pass judgment on everything we see leads to the need to compare. Listen and enjoy, but please don't judge.

124: The Hidden Culprit That Takes Joy Out of Our Running Jan 23, 2020

Show notes

Comparison comes very easily to us and it can rob us of joy. When we are experiencing satisfaction in our life, why does it matter what level of satisfaction our neighbor is experiencing. Even further, shouldn't their greater satisfaction just inspire us to greater heights? Why does comparison tend to deflate us?

Highlights of the Episode:

The roots and nature of comparison. 3:35

When comparison becomes habitual and unintentional. 6:00

The dangers of comparing your success to others' success. 34:25

Learning to accept the fact that your success is inevitable. 36:55

The benefits of trusting the process and being open with the results. 51:40

123: Forget What You Know So You Can Grow Jan 16, 2020

Show notes

Change is difficult because it removes the stability and comfort of our current situation. It pushes us into a place of uncertainty which we naturally resist. It also requires us to look at ourselves at our current situation and habits from a whole new perspective. We cannot learn anything radically new, until we forget what we already know.

122: Running From Seizures Jan 10, 2020

Show notes

Last weekend Kevin ran a marathon almost exactly 2 years after his third seizure back in 2017. There was concern about whether running this far and this hard was simply too much for him. It has been a long journey back focused on overall physical and mental health. This journey is far from over, but last weekend was a major step along the way. It was a race that was a victory lap.

119: Lessons from 2019 - In Running and Life Dec 19, 2019

Show notes

It's getting close to the end of the year, which means it's time to look back and see what we can learn from the past year. Problems, challenges, and obstacles were all there to teach lessons, and if we do not take the time to figure out what the lesson was, we will be spending 2020 reliving the same old problems in shiny new packaging.

Today we talk about:

The mental side of running and how that affects our training and racing
The benefits of having a training plan
The benefits of not having a training plan
The one thing that makes the most difference, whether you do or do not follow a training plan
And much more!

We share some of our personal insights about our running and help you to apply it to your running life as well. Stay tuned!
