On The Starting Line

Episode 122. On The Starting Line We all stand there on starting lines. Together. Alone. With the unknown ahead of us. No guarantees. This episode is inspired by so many of you that have reached out over the last few weeks to ask about the starting line. Over the last few weeks I've been to the Berlin Marathon, the Portland Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K and Kids Mile, and now I'm recording this episode in Chicago with this great city's marathon only a couple of days away. I talk nerves, confid...

Ready. Set. Go!

Episode 121. Ready, Set, Go! This is a really special episode. Because I get to talk about something that is near and dear to my heart - how to introduce the sport to kids (and adults). About ten years ago, I helped create something called Ready, Set, Go! for Nike Running. It was a guide for both kids and the adult in their lives that was going to help introduce them to this wonderful sport. Well, we decided to refresh Ready, Set, Go! and I couldn't be more excited about it. ...

Episode 117. All I Got It's been a tough couple of weeks. So much travel. Dropping kids off on the other side of the country. ER visits. Sickness. Heimlich Maneuvers. 7 year streaks being broken. Podcasts not getting published... or at least getting published a week later. So, this is the episode you're getting. It won't be the longest Coach Bennett's Podcast ever. It won't have the most rambles or even gloriously terrible weak jokes. But it is all I got. And it's the best I could do. I hope ...

Goals: How To Set, Change, Drop and Achieve Them

Episode 116: Goals: How To Set, Change, Drop and Achieve Them It's always a great time to talk about goals. And when you talk about goals you need to talk about more than how to set them. You need to know how to change and adjust goals and how to drop goals too. Big goals. Little goals. Medium sized goals. Long term goals. Short term goals. We cover it all. So, enjoy the show and please know that one of my goals in making this episode was to help you have a better chance achieving all of your...

Get Out Of Your Own Way

Episode 115. Get Out Of Your Own Way We all do it. We self-sabotage. We trip ourselves up. We set ourselves up for something less than success. Well, this episode is all about ways we can get out of our own ways so we can run ourselves somewhere better without the self-destructive hurdles and barriers we place in front of ourselves. And obviously you need to listen to Go Your Own Way by Fleetwood Mac. And because my brain decides to simply go rogue here is Don't Stop by Fleetwood Mac to...

Episode 113. Get Fast Buckle up buttercup! Because we're about to go fast talking about getting fast. I do my best to rip through this episode... fast. That means the rambling on this episode may not be non-existent but it's sure not excessive. And yes, it was not easy for me to not ramble. It's also not easy for me to not write sentences with double negatives. I digress. Sit back or start it up... no matter how your listening to the show or what you're doing while you listen to the show... I...

5 Ways To Build Confidence

Episode 112. 5 Ways To Build Confidence Being confident takes work. And that means that confidence is something that can be built up, grown, maintained. That also means that confidence is something that can be torn down, weakened, atrophy. So, we're going to discuss a few ways that you can work on and build confidence. I know I named this episode 5 Ways To Build Confidence but I'm not entirely sure how many ways I actually talk about. I feel like it's more than 5 though. Anyway, it's a great ...

Setbacks (How To Deal With Them)

How you deal with those setbacks will help decide just how consistent you'll continue to be and whether you'll chase down those goals or not and whether you'll get better and better and if you'll get closer to your best.

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.

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...

Episode 107. 7 Ways To Make Your Running More Fun It doesn't matter how fast or how far you can run. There's always an opportunity to make your running more fun.

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!
