The 1% Better Runner with DLake
Daren DLake
195 episodes
3 days ago

This is a podcast about how runners can live better lives through consistent self-improvement.


Unlike other running brands, The 1% Better Runner focuses on how small, daily habit improvements ripple into broader life success, helping runners perform better both on and off the road, track, or dirt.


I’m Daren DLake: Certified running and nutrition coach, Sub-3-hour marathoner and 10-hour Ironman finisher.


Since 1996, I’ve been helping other self-coached runners, researching, and experimenting on how to better myself 1% each day.


A few times a week, I’ll drop how I’m tweaking my training, sticking to habits when life’s messy, and cool stuff from coaches and health pros. It’s a no-BS cheat sheet for building better habits—not just for running, but for work, relationships, and personal growth too.


Join thousands of other committed runners listening to the most exciting run and endurance sports content on the internet and get more tactics and strategies in your inbox each week.


Bonus - Get my free 30-day base and habits training plan when you sign up for the free newsletter here.


PS - Podcasting is very "1-way," so let's fix that. Hit us up if you have any feedback, want to collaborate, or just wanna tell me about your training. On Instagram @dlakecreates or talk@dlakecreates.com

Why So Many Runners Destroy Their Muscle Gains (And How to Stop It)

What if building muscle as a runner isn’t about training harder, but training smarter?


Key Takeaways

  1. You can gain muscle and lose fat while running often—if you master training timing and recovery.
  2. The key isn’t magic exercises or diets—it’s rhythm, rest, and the right weekly structure.
  3. Most runners need more protein, more rest, and less chasing of intensity to truly get stronger.
