148: When Is The Right Time to Jump In? Jul 09, 2020

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

138: The Things That Might Be Missing From Your Running Foundation Apr 30, 2020

Runners love to run and if you talk to them about building a foundation, they will give you all sorts of stats about base mileage and speed workouts. However, the complete picture of a well rounded foundation needs to include strength and mobility. Without these ingredients our running is held back from its maximum potential. Runners don't want to be told that they have a limit on their potential, but how often are we actually holding ourselves back by simply logging miles and not seeing the importance of strong and mobile muscles and joints?

Strength training and mobility work are essential ingredients for a strong running foundation. Are these missing from your training plan?

137: What Makes The Running Community So Special? Apr 23, 2020

Runners love other runners. We love to talk about running and training and racing. We will compare shoes and workouts and anything else we can think of. Running, at its best, breaks down barriers because we all know that we run and we have that in common. In this time we are physically distant, it is important to remember the value of community.

134: How To Adjust When Life Gets in the Way Apr 02, 2020

There are many reasons you may need to adjust a training plan. You could get sick, bogged down at work, stay out late with friends, or just feel wiped and in need of an off day. Perhaps there is a pandemic sweeping the globe that is making running easier or more difficult. Maybe a new race opportunity popped up or your race was cancelled. Our ability to adjust is rooted in our long term goals and our belief in our success. Sometimes it helps to have some guidance.

Do we try to make it fit into the world we already know because that is more comfortable? Do we boldly step forward, prepared to gain the reward that will come from the new adventure?

Races are being cancelled, training plans are being derailed, long term goals are hazy and short term actions have plenty of distractions. There is an air of panic and confusion. Amidst the swirl of chaos, where and how does running fit? Should you go get in a run? Where is the motivation? What is the point? This is a time that we need running more than ever, and with all of the extra time we have, we can take a step back and look at some things we may have been neglecting.

131: These Things Are More Important Than Willpower Mar 12, 2020

Many of us would like to run better. That may mean faster, longer, stronger, more consistently, or some combination. We may have tried various training plans or workouts routines only to have them not work for us. We can all accept that the key to improvement is consistency, and consistency comes from building a habit. In this episode, we talk about why the habit is easier to build when we start in our mind.

We are all runners. We have covered this repeatedly. We also have pointed out that we are still runners on days we do not run. When that non-running day was supposed to be a running day, many of us are quick to place very harsh judgement on ourselves. Remember, you are not just a runner, you are a real life runner and you choose how to run your life.

128: Stop Lying To Yourself Feb 20, 2020

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

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?

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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!

118: Avoiding Aches and Pains Dec 13, 2019

No one likes being hurt. You lose your running routine. You can lose some fitness if you are out for too long. What about the smaller aches and pains? Reminders that you ran that day. A twinge as you run down the street. Soreness when you wake up or try to fall asleep. Does running need to be so painful? How can runners look so powerful while running and so feeble and awkward afterwards?

117: Are You Sabotaging Your Own Success? Dec 05, 2019

Goals are great. Plans are useful. What about when you carefully choose a goal and follow a plan and just seem to keep missing? The important ingredient missing from a standard training plan is to continue building and fostering belief. Without belief in the possibility of the result, you will never commit to the work needed to achieve the result. Are you doing something to sabotage your own success?

116: Give Thanks For Your Running Journey, Each and Every Run Nov 28, 2019

Thanksgiving is a time to gather with family and think about the things that we are grateful for. It is a wonderful time to reflect and just be. Yes, there can be a lot to do, especially if you are hosting, but it's also a time to sit back and relax and just enjoy. How many times do we just do that in our lives? How many times do we say thank you for our bodies? For running? For what we are able to do? Or are we critical of ourselves and focus more on what we aren't capable of? How someone else is better than us? How we wish we were faster, had a different body, or were farther along in our journey than we are right now? Well, my friend, we are exactly where we are meant to be.

114: Does Your Past Define You? Nov 14, 2019

What kind of runner are you?

What kind of Runner do you want to be?

Who do you want to be?

Today is the first day of the rest of your life. You must understand your past to take a look at how and where we can improve, but we must live in the present. We can choose every moment to be a new person. The person we choose to be now creates the actions we choose and the results we have.

113: Do You Live to Run or Run To Live? Nov 07, 2019

Episode 113

"I don't run to add more years to my life, I run to add more life to my years". - Ronald Rook

Don't run to live, live to run!

With more reflection, experience, and miles completed, I think these popular running quotes sound nice, but I am not sure if they are correct. Why do we need to choose? Running and life are so intertwined that success in one leads to success in the other. Why don't we live to run and run to live?

112: Running Is Tough - Are You Tougher? Oct 31, 2019

Episode 112: www.realliferunnerspodcast.com

When the workout gets hard, the run gets long and tiresome, work is piling up, the family is pulling you every direction what story do you tell yourself? Do you accept the overwhelm? Do you start making excuses before the poor performance has happened? Do you back off because it is just too hard or do you rise up and fight against the challenge because you are capable?
