Episode 49. How To Run Consistently

Consistency is key. Maybe the biggest key. What does it unlock? Well, just about everything. That's why we're talking about it! If you can run consistently then you can run more and if you can run more better than you can have more better runs and if you can have more better runs then you've got a really great chance at becoming a better runner! It makes sense. Believe me.

Cheers and thank you for listening!

Episode 48: Personal Bests

- I'm on Team PB's... you may be Team PR's. That's fine. In no way will that diminish your extreme enjoyment of this episode. In fact, I bet you consider this one of the all time best Coach Bennett's Podcast shows. Why? Well, because this topic is awesome! That's why! Personal bests are all about people at their best. Sure, that may mean fastest. That may mean farthest. That may mean highest. But it also means so much more. This episode starts with a discussion of the #PBX concept at the recent Twilight Relays here in Portland, Oregon and the extraordinary mindset shift that that T&F meet has introduced to the sport. Then the episode talks about how you can expand the definition of PB's so every day offers you the opportunity to be your best.

Thank you for listening and enjoy the show!
Cheers,
Coach Bennett

Episode 47: Easy Runs

- Why do I say what I say to you on an easy run? Why do I tell you to start easy? Why do I tell you to blame me for running slow? Why do I bring up effort before pace? What do I think about pace on an easy run? Why do I make you do system checks for your form and your breathing and your mindset? How do I coach the middle of an easy run? What about the end? Well, these are all great questions! How about I answer them and a few more? Let's do it!

Go ahead and head out for an easy run or go for a hike or walk or just listen to this in traffic or on the train. Because this episode will benefit your easy runs whether you are on one of them or just getting ready for one in your future.

Cheers and thank you for listening!
