Coach Bennett's Podcast

Episode 123. Success

Success. What is it? How do you define it? How do you measure it? What happens when you don't reach a goal? Is there such a thing as partial success? So many questions. Even more answers in this episode. Inspired by getting to talk to so many of you at the Berlin Marathon, Portland Marathon, Chicago Marathon, I wanted to make sure we talked about success from the point of view of the athletes and a coach. So, check it out. And thank you for inspiring me with your efforts and attitudes and running. 

Cheers and thank you for listening!

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, confidence, looking ahead and behind, what to focus on and what not to focus on and I talk about hope. I hope you enjoy the episode and I salute all you rock stars finding and crossing those starting lines in your life. 

Cheers and thank you for listening!

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. 

So, I figured, why not make a podcast that goes over some of the concepts of the guide. And the best part is that the concepts for kids are basically the same concepts for adults when it comes to introducing someone that is new to the sport or starting over in the sport. If there are kids in your life that you believe would love the sport or you're a parent or you're thinking about becoming a coach or already are one then this episode is for you. 

And be sure to check out the refreshed Ready, Set, Go! guide here. 

Cheers and thank you for listening to the show and for sharing, celebrating and saving this fantastic sport that we've got.

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 it's enough for you. And I hope it helps. 

Cheers,

Coach Bennett

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 goals for having listened to it. 

Cheers,

Coach Bennett

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 too. Don't worry... after the episode you'll understand. 

And if you want to check out the glorious dive bar that also has the worlds best fried chicken you need to check out 'REEL M'INN TAVERN

Episode 114. Recovery On The Run

You've probably heard me say that great running dependent on great recovery. Well, it's the truth. And if you can recover great and do that consistently you're going to give yourself the best chance to run great. So, listen up. Because this episode is all about how you can recover better and recover better consistently. None of the things I talk about in this episode are recovery techniques that you can't start taking advantage of today. Because almost everything I talk about in this episode you are probably already doing! I'm just going to tell you how you can do it all a little better. And if you can recover a little better consistently and in a whole bunch of different ways... well, you're going to experiencing some great recovery. And you know what depends on great recovery? 

Cheers and thank you for listening!
