Brad Stulberg is a polymath whose first book with coach Steve Magness, <a href="https://amzn.to/2Wijvpk" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Peak Performance</a>, was one of my favorite reads from 2018. His work focuses on helping athletes, business executives, and other top performers improve their chances of success by work on: <ul> <li>Defining a path for long-term progression</li> <li>Mental toughness</li> <li>Developing sustainable motivation and purpose</li> <li>How to get into a deep-focus "flow" state</li> <li>Building resilience</li> <li>Development of optimal routines</li> </ul> His latest book is also coauthored by Steve Magness, titled <a href="https://amzn.to/2H1q0H1" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer">The Passion Paradox: A Guide to Going All In, Finding Success, and Discovering the Benefits of an Unbalanced Life</a>. In this conversation, we spend time focusing on the nuances of passion, obsession, and building interest in things that we like. His book is a defense of passion. It's a more nuanced, effective perspective on passion that acknowledges that it's hard to find, that it must be cultivated, and that too much of it can indeed be a bad thing.

Episode 94: How to Avoid the Dark Side of Passion and Build a Sustainable Running Obsession

The Strength Running Podcast treats you like a pro runner: we surround your with coaches, physical therapists, strength experts, elite runners, sports psychologists, and other thought leaders. We only have one goal: to help you run faster.

Guests include world-class academics, clinicians, runners, coaches, and subject matter experts like David Roche, Victoria Sekely, Sally McRae, Zach Bitter, and hundreds more! We also publish coaching calls with Jason working directly with a runner chasing a big goal and course previews for major races like the New York City Marathon, the Boston Marathon, the Philadelphia Marathon, and the Marine Corps Marathon.

You'll learn how to prevent injuries and become resilient to niggles and common overuse injuries, the best ways to structure marathon training and how to fuel for endurance races, how to improve your speed and ability to kick at the end of races, run more consistently, and make running a more sustainable part of your life.

The Strength Running Podcast is hosted by Jason Fitzgerald, a 2:39 marathoner and USATF-certified running coach. He's a monthly columnist for Trail Runner Magazine and was previously Men's Running Magazine's Influencer of the Year. His coaching advice and running guidance has been featured in the New York Times, the Washington Post, Runner's World, Health Magazine, and most other major media.

If you want to become a better runner, you've found the right running podcast!
