Episode 16: How Being A Better Teammate Makes You A Better Runner.

They can be your greatest source of strength or your greatest weakness. Teammates. And if you want to be the best you can be out there on the roads and trails and track and off them as well... then you need to be the best teammate you can be to others and to yourself. Coach Bennett breaks down why becoming a better teammate leads to better running. There is also our first  Mindset Minute with Mindset Coach tammie bennett (yes, she still loves lower case letters) and some talk about the Pre Classic and the Sea Hear Now Festival where Coach Bennett rocked his proverbial socks off. This is not only an important episode... it's a really important episode. Is that redundant?
Yes. But it's still true and it's true.

Cheers and thank you for listening... and sharing... and subscribing!

Episode 15:  Bad Advice For Runners

Who would have thought that Coach Bennett had so much awful advice? Well, he does! And he can't wait to share some of it with you. The key here is that Coach is going to let you know ahead of time that's terrible advice and tell you why. That way you can learn from all this miserable advice what not to do! You may even learn what to do! Bonus! This is a fun episode. Thank you for listening.
Cheers!

013. I Make The Case For You To Race

Coach Bennett presents his case for YOU to race in this super fun episode... Episode 13. Sit back or run forward or maybe even drive or ride along as Coach shares point after point as to why he believes racing is for everyone (and that includes YOU). Then you get to decide the verdict. Coach also talks about Jaws because, well, Jaws is one of the most awesome movies ever! That's why! So much more is covered in this episode I guess you'll just need to listen to it. Thank you for sharing some of your time and cheers to you for listening to Coach Bennett's Podcast.

012. Let Your Effort Lead Your Run

On this episode of Coach Bennett's Podcast it's almost all about effort. Because there is actually more than just effort that's talked about! The Coach Bennett Jersey Shore Running Tour is in full effect, the phrase "home is where the heart is" is broken down, there's even a hint that wings and pizza will be spoken about (be prepared to be let down... Coach forgets to talk about both wings and pizza) and then of course... the topic of effort is discussed.

Enjoy the episode and thank you for listening!

011. The Speed Run. Ready... set... GO! It's time to talk about the speed run! That's right. It's scary. It's fast. It's wild. It's challenging. It's exciting. It's fartlek, long intervals, hills, tempo runs, and short intervals. It's all the Speed Run! And the speed run is about more than just the speed run. It's about the warm up and the stretching and the drills and the strides and... the recovery. But more than anything the speed run should be about fun. So join Coach Bennett and learn about the infinite variety of ways you can get faster and have fun doing it. Hope you enjoy and thank you for listening!
Cheers,
CB

010. The Recovery Run.  It's also known as the easy run. And it's the most important run of them all. Why? Maybe it's because it's the run you do more than any other. Maybe it's because if you can nail the recovery run you will have a better chance at nailing all the other kinds of runs. Maybe it's because of what the dictionary defines as recovery. Maybe you just need to listen to Coach Bennett's Podcast to find out. 

Cheers,

009. The Long Run. Those three words inspire a whole host of different feelings for different people.  And that's why Episode 9 is dedicated to... The Long Run. What is a long run? Why do we do long runs? How can we make them better... less boring... greater fun...  and more challenging? I hope you're not expecting me to answer all those questions here! That's what the podcast is for. And in an odd coincidence The Long Run episode just happens to be the longest Coach Bennett's Podcast... so far. Hope you enjoy the show and thank you for listening... and for sharing the podcast... and thank you for subscribing... and for rating and reviewing the show.

008. Embrace your weaknesses. That's right! Get in close and give all those weaknesses of yours a great big squeezy hug. Don't ignore those weaknesses of yours. Don't pretend they don't exist. And don't put them in a corner with baby because nobody puts baby in a corner.  And if you can embrace your weaknesses you can own them, you can know them, you can learn about them,  you can work on them. And you will get better as a result. Not just at running either. This is about running... and this is not about running. Join Coach Bennett on this episode and learn why Embrace Your Weaknesses has always been a part of his coaching philosophy. Enjoy the show. Episode 8 is great.

PS. Attention Swifties... Taylor Swift is and her concert in Seattle is discussed. Don't worry... TS gets lauded.

007. Every run has a purpose. In fact, every run has many purposes! Join Coach Bennett as he talks about one of the fundamental pillars of his coaching philosophy. And you better believe that this episode is about running... and this episode is not about running. The episode kicks off with a discussion on how to run (or not run) in hot and humid or dangerous conditions. The mail bag is opened. And so much more is covered that it just seems silly to write it all down here when you can just listen to it!
