Are you blaming someone or something else for the way you think, feel, or act? Or are you taking responsibility for all of your own thoughts, feelings, and actions? Today on the podcast, I break it all down and show you the major differences between blaming others and taking radical responsibility for all of your results in running and in life.

Most of our problems are created because we're trying to change something about our past. We cause ourselves so much unnecessary stress and anxiety because we are constantly ruminating about past events and wishing they were different! This is crazy! Today on the podcast, I'm going to explain what's really going on here and show you exactly what to do to effectively change your past.

Randy Kreill is a cool cat and a passionate ultrarunner. In 2019, he ran 13 ultramarathons including 6 100-milers. He does it all on a plant-based diet and running in sandals! Randy and I are fast friends, we could talk forever (we laugh a lot during this interview btw), and he's such an inspiration to me. I know you're going to love his energy!

Last week I talked about how all of your problems are actually created in your head - by your thoughts. Today on the podcast, I explain how your feelings drive all of your actions and those actions determine your results - good and bad!

Today on the podcast, I talk about how ALL of your problems are actually created by your thoughts. You can't have a problem unless there's a thought and an unwanted feeling about something. This is some mind-blowing stuff that I hope you can wrap your head around because it WILL change your life!

Chris Wissman is a personal trainer, a movement and lifestyle coach, and an all-around badass when it comes to functional fitness. He's co-owner of Real Human Performance in Madisonville. Today we talk about mindset, physiology, good running form, and what happens to your body when you don’t have good running form. Chris also talks about what happens to your body when you sit at a desk all day. (spoiler alert...it’s not good!)

Recently I had the chance to talk with someone I really admire, someone I've been watching from a distance. One of the reasons I've been paying attention to Melanie Owen is because she's a lot like me (and probably you)--a weekend warrior. Melanie is a fairly average runner, she works a regular job (she's not a professional runner), and she runs because, well she just loves running.

Ian Burrell is a 2:13 marathoner and in 2015 he finished 25th at the Marathon World Championships in Beijing. It says something about how fierce the competition was if a 2:13 time gets you 25th place!

Today I have something special for you, a deep conversation with my friend Caroline Keating. She shares some things in this conversation that she's never shared before. She talks about her competitive background (she was a competitive swimmer in college), and how that competitiveness has shaped who she is as a runner today.

My name is Patrick McGilvray, I’m your host and The Weight Loss Coach for Runners. I wanted you to get a feel for the Running Lean podcast, so I created a short trailer for the show. In each weekly episode, I focus on a topic around running, nutrition, weight loss, and the mindset you need to accomplish it all. My goal is to help you get leaner and stronger so you can run faster and run longer than you ever thought possible.
