Episode 86.  Motivation.

My motivation for this episode was you. Yes, you. You've been reaching out telling me you're losing motivation or you're afraid your motivation is lost. Well, if you're reaching out that means you still got some. And if you listen to this episode my hope is that you'l have a little more motivation to fuel what it is that you want and need to do. I could ramble on about all the different things that I go over in this episode but I think it's best if you just hit play and listen. Oh yeah, one more thing... you're not alone.

Cheers,
Coach Bennett

Episode 85. Inspire.

Inspire. Inspiration. Inspired. That's a verb, noun and adjective there. All essential to a successful runner. And all three can seem elusive at times. This episode breaks down the meaning of those words. Then we discuss how and who we can inspire, what it means to be inspired, and where we can find inspiration. Theres even a mindset minute with coach bennett the greater, tammie bennett of the show up society. If all that talk about nouns and verbs and adjectives and definitions didn't inspire you already I know you're inspired now that coach tammie is here. I get it. She inspires me too. Enjoy the episode and thank you for listening to the podcast.

Cheers,
Coach Bennett

Episode 84.  When Easy Isn't Easy.

Sometimes it can feel like everything is hard. Yes, sometimes it can feel like even easy isn't so easy. That's okay. Because on this episode we're going to talk about how we can better handle times like these. Sometimes the key is simply asking ourselves a few questions. Other times it's about making changes, giving ourselves a little grace, backing off or yes... pushing on. There are a lot of takeaways from this episode and it's one that makes sense to drop now considering the time of year. But this is a topic that is best when it's needed. And when it's needed doesn't need to have anything to do with the time of year.

Cheers and thank you for listening!

 Episode 83.  This Can Be Your Best Year Ever!

Welcome to 2025! Could this be your best... year... ever? Maybe. At least it makes sense to try to have your best year ever. It does to me anyway. And I hope after this episode it makes sense to you too. That's why we're going to go over some of the ways I think you can set yourself up to have your best year or training cycle or season of running ever. We'll talk about belief and pints of water and rocks in your backpack (just listen to the episode). And thank you for meeting me here on yet  another starting line. Now press start and let's get to the other side of that line! Because that's where extraordinary lives.

Cheers
Coach Bennett

 Episode 82.  New Year's Resolve.

I love resolutions. I do. But I love resolve even more. What can I say? I'm a verbs guy. Nouns and adjectives are wonderful. But if we are being honest then we know that it's the verbs that power and inspire all those nouns we love and adjectives we aim for. And that's why we're going to talk about resolutions through the lens of that word resolve. And we're going to talk about how we can set ourselves up to carry out those resolutions we are resolving to do! Too often we set ourselves up for failure when we start a new year. And too often we diminish and denigrate ourselves when we set new year's resolutions. This episode is all about how we can set ourselves up for success by being in service of ourselves. We talk about purpose, consistency, self-coaching, motivation and so much more. So, get ready for a new year, new month, new day, new moment with this new episode of Coach Bennett's Podcast.

Cheers and thank you for listening!

 Episode 81.   Strength

It's not just about lifting weights. It's not just physical. It's not just physical and it's not just mental. It's more. So much more. And that means you can be strong in so many different ways. It means you can work on being strong in so many different ways. And it means that every run offers you the opportunity to become stronger. By the way, if you run... you are strong. If you run... you can be stronger. If you run... you need to listen to this episode.

Cheers,
Coach Bennett

Episode 80.
How To Run More With Less Time

Sometimes it feels like we've got no time to do the things that we love to spend our time doing. And when we stop doing those things that we want to do that recharge and refresh us we can struggle to find the energy and inspiration to do those things that we need to do. Well, this episode is all about how we can run more when we have less time. Seems like it makes no sense, right? Great! Because that means there is a better chance you are going to listen to the episode. And bonus... there's even a Mindset Minutes. Yes, Minutes. The always awesome coach tammie of the show up society is back to lead you through a visualization exercise and it takes minutes. Episode 80 is a blast. And yes, I know that I screwed up and my mic was not attached to the computer so the audio is less than its usual stellar quality. But I make up for it with extraordinary content so it all evens out.

Cheers and thank you for listening!

Episode 79.  How To Keep Going

Could be that time of year... could be because of work or school or because of obligations or responsibilities. Could be lack of motivation or inspiration. Could just be that it's hard to find the progress or earn a next win. Whatever the case may be it can be hard to keep going towards where or what you want to get to. Well, that's why we got this episode. Join Coach Bennett (that's me... and it's always weird writing in the third person) as he (again with that third person) help you find ways to keep... it (whatever 'it" for you may be)... going.

Cheers,

Episode 78. Running Grateful

Thank you. Seems like the best way to start this episode. Because without all of you... this ain't happening. So, thank you. And this entire episode is about giving thanks. Because gratitude, thankfulness... they're superpowers. Superpowers for all athletes but especially runners. That's why this episode is a conversation between you and me. We're going to call attention to some of those people, things and experiences that we are thankful for.

Thank YOU for listening to the podcast. Take care of yourself. Take care of each other. And I'll meet you on that next starting line.

Cheers,
Coach Bennett

Episode 77. Struggle.

We struggle. We all struggle. We struggle with our running. We struggle with our recovery. We struggle with failure. We struggle with success. We struggle with our responsibilities and obligations. We struggle with our relationships with each other. We struggle with our relationships with ourselves. We struggle with struggling.

But do we really understand what it means to struggle. Well, that's the goal of this episode. My hope is that by the end of the show you have a new point of view of what it means to struggle and a more profound respect for yourself when you do in fact... struggle.

Thank you to everyone that has reached out over the last few weeks and told me that you needed this episode. That's exactly what Coach Bennett's Podcast is for. This podcast is for you.

Cheers,
Coach Bennett
