Episode 50:  *50 Excuses To Run:  Excuses #'s 1-25We are constantly inundated with excuses to NOT run. So, let's inundate ourselves with excuses TO RUN!

Episode 50:  *50 Excuses To Run:  Excuses #'s 1-25

We are constantly inundated with excuses to NOT run. So, let's inundate ourselves with excuses TO RUN! In honor of episode 50 (and 51) I'm dropping a whole bunch of excuses to run. And by a whole bunch I mean 50 excuses! That's so many excuses that I needed to break this into two different episodes. And I tried my best to be efficient. 50 excuses is just too many excuses for one episode. So, sit back and maybe even write a few of these down or write them all down. Believe me... if you run enough you're going to need access to some of these to help get you over the starting line. 

Cheers and thank you for listening!

Episode 48:   Personal Bests- I'm on Team PB's... you may be Team PR's. That's fine. In no way will that diminish your extreme enjoyment of this episode. In fact, I bet you consider this one of the all time best Coach Bennett's Podcast shows. Why? Well, because this topic is awesome! That's why! Personal bests are all about people at their best. Sure, that may mean fastest. That may mean farthest. That may mean highest. But it also means so much more. This episode starts with a discussio...

Episode 47:  Easy Runs- Why do I say what I say to you on an easy run? Why do I tell you to start easy? Why do I tell you to blame me for running slow? Why do I bring up effort before pace? What do I think about pace on an easy run? Why do I make you do system checks for your form and your breathing and your mindset? How do I coach the middle of an easy run? What about the end? Well, these are all great questions! How about I answer them and a few more? Let's do it! Go ahead and hea...
