294. When You Feel Like Nothing’s Working
You know what I’m talking about.
You’re doing the workouts, logging the miles, tracking your food, getting your strength sessions in… and the results?
Nowhere to be found. The scale isn’t budging. Your pace isn’t improving. Your clothes fit the same.

I want to tell you something right up front — if you’ve ever felt this way, you’re not broken, you’re not weak, and you’re definitely not alone.

293. Fat Loss Doesn’t Start in the Kitchen
You’ve probably heard it a million times: “Abs are made in the kitchen.”
And while nutrition definitely plays a role in fat loss, the truth is… it doesn’t start there.
In this episode of the Running Lean podcast, I’m flipping that outdated advice on its head in: Fat Loss Doesn’t Start in the Kitchen.
You’ll learn why focusing only on food is a losing strategy, and how factors like your mindset, sleep quality, stress levels, and training approach all have a massive impact on your ability to lose fat—and keep it off.
So if you’re stuck in the cycle of eating less and running more but still not seeing results, it might be time to take a different approach.
This is the stuff nobody’s talking about when it comes to fat loss…and it changes everything.

292. Why Discipline Will Always Beat Motivation
Most people think they need to feel motivated in order to eat healthy, work out, or stick to their running schedule.
But here’s the truth—motivation is fleeting.
It might get you started, but it won’t carry you through the tough days.
What you really need is discipline.
In this episode of the podcast, I’m breaking down Why Discipline Will Always Beat Motivation.
You’ll learn what each of these really means, how they apply to weight loss and improving your health and fitness, and how to stop relying on motivation and start building real, lasting discipline instead.
I’ll also clear up some common myths about both motivation and discipline, and give you practical tips to help you stay consistent even when you don’t feel like it.
If you’ve been struggling to stick with your healthy habits, this episode will help you shift your mindset—and get results that last.

There’s no shortage of advice out there about how to lose weight.
Just eat less, run more, count your calories, cut carbs, do a cleanse, go vegan, try keto—the list goes on and on.
But how much of this advice actually works?
And more importantly, how much of it works long term, especially for runners?
In this episode of the podcast, I’m digging into some of the most common—and most misunderstood—ideas around weight loss.
We’re talking about what’s true, what’s total BS, and how to take a more realistic, sustainable approach to getting leaner and stronger.
So if you’ve ever felt confused or frustrated trying to figure out the “right” way to lose weight, you are definitely not alone.

290. 3 Keys to Building Mental Toughness for Endurance Athletes
Mental toughness is one of the most powerful tools you can develop as a runner — and also one of the most overlooked.
Physical training is important, sure.
But if you don’t also train your mindset, you’ll keep hitting the same walls over and over again.
You’ll quit when things get hard, you’ll doubt yourself when you need confidence most, and you’ll never quite reach your true potential.
In this episode of the Running Lean podcast, I’m sharing the 3 Keys to Building Mental Toughness for Endurance Athletes.
These are the exact strategies I use in my own training and with every runner I coach.
If you want to run stronger, go longer, and finally stop giving up when the going gets tough, this one’s for you.

281. Replay: Weight Loss Is Not the Goal
Most people think the key to better health is simply losing weight.
So they set a goal, like “lose 30 pounds by August,” and go all in.
But somewhere along the way, they hit a stall, get frustrated, and often give up.
The truth is, this approach is totally backward.
In this episode of the podcast, I’m explaining why Weight Loss Is Not the Goal.
Real, lasting weight loss doesn’t come from obsessing over a number on the scale — it comes as a natural result of getting healthy.
When you focus on becoming the healthiest version of yourself — physically, mentally, and emotionally — the weight takes care of itself.
This shift in mindset changes everything.
So if you’ve been stuck in the diet-start-fail-repeat cycle, this episode will show you a whole new way forward.
