Risk and Reward

Episode 110. Risk and Reward. Some risks can lead to great rewards. Some rewards are not worth the risks. Whether you realize it or not every run and race you do and rest day you take has risks and rewards associated with them. This episode is all about the relationship between the two. This episode was inspired by the mile run by Faith Kipyegon in her Breaking 4 attempt and the 1500m race run by Jessica Hull at the Prefontaine Classic the following week. Enjoy the episode and be sure to chec...

It's OK To Not Be OK

Episode 109. It's OK To Not Be OK It's OK to be OK. It's OK to not be OK. But it's not OK to say you're OK when you're not OK. And it sounds like a lot of you are not OK. The good thing is that you are reaching out to me and admitting that you're not OK. That takes honesty and strength. Both of those things help you when it comes to running by the way. You're also reaching out and asking for some help. (Asking for help is another sign or strength.) That's why I'm doing this episode. And if yo...

7 Ways To Make Your Summer Running Better

Episode 104. 7 Ways To Make Your Summer Running Better This could actually be 5 or 6 or maybe even 8 or 9 ways. I'm not exactly sure.

What does matter is that by the end of the episode you're going to know a whole bunch of different ways you can make your summer running better! And that's a good thing!

Episode 102. How To Do More So, you want to know how to do more? I get it. More is better, right? Well, maybe. Maybe not. That's why before we decide what we need to do more of (or less of) we need to have a conversation. And that's what this episode is... a conversation. I'll give you a series of questions that you need to ask and answer before you decide what you need to do more of. If you're an athlete then this is an essential episode.

Searching For Balance

Episode 101. Searching For Balance. We're all searching for some balance in our lives and in our running. But I don't think there's such a thing as perfect balance. I believe we're just trying to balance all our imbalances as best as we can. And that's what this episode is all about. If we can look from a different and more supportive point of view and give a little more grace and have a little more empathy towards out own balancing acts we're going to have a better chance of maintainin...

You Gotta Have Faith

Episode 99. You Gotta Have Faith It was announced today that Faith Kipyegon is going to try and break 4 in the Mile this Summer in Paris. What was that? I said that Faith Kipyegon has committed to trying to run under 4 minutes for a mile in June. You read that right, twice. This episode is about Faith and faith and Breaking 4 (that's what this is being called) and Breaking 2 and Eliud Kipchoge and this episode is about you and me and goals and confidence and failure and success an...

A Pep Talk For You (And Me)

Episode 98. A Pep Talk For You (And Me) This wasn't what I had originally planned for this episode. But sometimes the best plan is a different plan than what was originally planned. So, I listened to all of you and recorded the episode you all needed to hear and not the episode I wanted to make. I hope you enjoy this little pep talk. And to be honest... I think I needed it just as much if not more than any of you. Thank you for listening to and sharing Coach Bennett's Podcast. Cheers, C...

How To Schedule Your Runs

Episode 97. How To Schedule Your Runs Sometimes the hardest part of running isn't the running. It's scheduling the running. When and why do we run when we run? Is it okay to switch up the schedule? How flexible can we be? What should we take into consideration when setting up a week or weeks of training? Wouldn't it be great if there was somewhere to get all these questions answered? I'm wicked witty. See what I did there? Because here is a place where you can get all these questions an...

How To Get Through A Tough Run

Episode 96. How To Get Through A Tough Run It doesn't matter how fast you are. It doesn't mater how long you've been running, It doesn't matter how experienced you are as a runner. It doesn't matter how many times you've seen the Gaslight Anthem in concert. You're going to have some tough runs. I'm hoping that this episode helps. Because if you can have a better run when you you're having a tough run you';re going to have better runs and that means you will become a better runner. Enjoy...

5 Tips For A Better Long Run

Episode 94. 5 Tips For A Better Long Run. Why give you one tip for a better long run when I can give you five? No need to ask why not give six or seven tips, Coach? That's just being greedy. Anyway, give this oddly absent of rambles episode a listen and learn about how being fueled and hydrated, knowing where you are going and what you are doing, packing a parachute and one or two other tips I can't remember right now can help you have the best possible long run.

The Story Of The First Gold In The Women’s Marathon

Episode 93. The Story Of The First Gold In The Women’s Marathon It's the first race I can remember watching. And it's stayed with me ever since. I'm talking about the 1984 Women's Olympic Marathon. This was the first time women competed in the Marathon in the Olympic Games. I was just a little kid. But I knew that what I was watching was special. From the breakaway move Joan Benoit (Samuelson) made barely 5K into the race to the final brutal lap of Gabriela Andersen-Scheiss this race ma...

You And The Best Runners In The World

Episode 92. You And The Best Runners In The World. You got a lot in common with the best runners in the world. You know that right? Because you should know that. In fact, you have way more in common than not. Don't believe me? That's fine. You once believed you couldn't do all sorts of things that you've since done. So, I'm used to it. I'm hoping that this episode goes a long way to remedying your disbelief. And if you can start to understand just how much you and the best runners in the worl...
