Episode 89. Stressed Out

Stress is real. Stress is a natural response we have to situations that feel out of control or hard to manage. So, if you're human... you're going to get stressed out. And right now, there seems to be a whole of stressed out runners.

We're going to talk about what stress is. We're going to talk about how stress and especially long term and heightened stress can have negative impacts on your running. But this episode is about running and this is not about running. Because stress does not only hurt your running. Stress can hurt your life before the starting line and after the finish line is crossed. And you spend a whole lot more time living that life beyond those lines than running those meters, minutes and miles between them. So, if we can learn how to handle or deal with our stress better we can run and live better.

And if we need help... help that goes beyond what we talk about in this podcast we know that asking for help from experts is not a sign of weakness. Rather, it's a sign of badass strength.

Hope this episode helps.

Cheers,
Coach Bennett

Episode 88. All The Small Things

Yes, it's a Blink 182 song. And yes, it's a great song. But this episode may be even better. Because we're talking about all the small things that you can do to make those big things you want to do easier to do... or at least more likely to be done by you. Now seems like a great time for this episode because now is always the right time ot talk about this topic. And because everyone seems to be stressed out and exhausted and having hard time making it the starting lines in their lives that they want to get to and over. The episode goes over small things like planning ahead, the W's, the wholly triumvirate of eating and drinking and sleeping, raditudes and baditudes, and there's even a ramble about just how great 1989 was for albums. Now you may be wondering why I go one and on about albums from 1989. That's because I mistakenly believed this was episode 89. It's not. It's episode 88.

Hope you enjoy the episode and more importantly I hope it helps.

Thank you for listening to the show.

Cheers,

Coach Bennett

Little Things music video

One kinda sorta random list of the best albums of 1989 that I don't totally agree with but at least it has most of the top albums listed. Anyway, it does a good enough job. You'll get the idea.

Episode 87. Metrics That Really Matter

You've got the classics. You know what I'm talking about. The OG running metrics. Minutes. Meters. Miles. But there are some new cats and dogs in town too. Metrics that can also help you measure and understand your performance and progression. Metrics like cadence and heart rate. And there are more like the wildly diverse personal bests metric and the always fun metric known as... fun. Yes, fun can and should be a metric you pay attention to when it comes to your running. I hope you enjoy the discussion and that it helps you measure and understand you're running performance and progression a little bit more.

Cheers,
Coach Bennett
