#103 - Holiday Fitness: Why We Fail (And How To Succeed!)
It seems to be the case that every year, despite our best efforts, our fitness and nutrition efforts go in the crapper during the holidays. There are plenty of reasons why it happens, and it seems as a society we've accepted it as inevitable. Maybe that's why fitness and weight loss related New Year's Resolutions are so popular. But... what if it didn't have to be so hard to succeed through the holidays? Wouldn't it be nice to make it to New Year's Day having not only enjoyed the holidays (and the food)... AND having made progress toward your fitness goals?!

What was Ghost Train like, anyway?
By now it's no secret - I did it! I put in the time training, I showed up on race day, and I did the thing. I finished 100 miles at the Ghost Train Rail Trail Race. But what was the event itself actually like? What happened between start line and belt buckle?
In this episode, Coach Darrell talks a bit about the cold weather that's set in, and his top tip for taking dealing with it. We talk briefly about setting expectations and planning for success, then we really get into it. Coach Darrell gives us a review of the Ghost Train Rail Trail Race, then follows with a recap of his experience at this year's event. Finally, he wraps up with some thoughts and pointers on how to go the distance... whether it's 100 miles, or something else.

#101 - MDI Marathon, And The Final Days Before Your Race
Some races are so special, and their course so beautiful, it's WORTH a long trip. MDI Marathon & Half is one of them.
(Disclosure – this post may contain affiliate links. Price is the same, & a portion of the sale supports this site & podcast. Yay!)
Wow. Just... wow.
That was literally what went through my head as I ran the course of the Mount Desert Island Half Marathon. Being a point to point race, RD Gary Allen designed it so the 2nd half of the race IS the half-marathon course. I'll tell ya, FitFriends - running that half made me want to run the WHOLE thing just to see how amazing it looked. That weekend in Maine I learned what a "destination race" really is, and why people will travel SO out of their way to run one.
Race Director & Founder Gary Allen joins Coach Darrell on this episode to talk all about the MDI Marathon and Half. They talk about the aesthetics of the course and what makes it a "destination race". They also discuss the difficulty level of the course, and what people can expect from this race. They briefly delve into the race's history and how it came about, then they touch on hot tips for the final days leading up to your big goal race. Plus, this IS Gary Allen we're talking to, so there's plenty of talk about the Millinocket Marathon. Later, Coach Darrell gives his own "final prep days" tips and has some special words for ultrarunners, specifically those preparing to take on the Ghost Train Rail Trail Race (no matter WHAT year you're running it).
#100 - Fitness - The Journey To A Better Life.
Saison 1 · Épisode 100
samedi 6 octobre 2018 • Durée 49:16
We've been talking about "fitness" wrong.
There's more to fitness than working out and eating "right". We need to look at a more complete picture, and adjust our understanding and approach.
Physical health is just one part of "fitness".
Whenever you hear about fitness, the only things that tend to be talked about are working out and eating right. When we talk "fitness", we only seem to comprehend it as physical fitness. THAT is a problem - big news, guys - physical fitness is only one part of it. Fitness is much more than that, and if we're really gonna do this right, we need to see the bigger picture.
A big milestone brings big changes.
In this episode, Coach Darrell shares the big updates, upgrades, and changes that have gone on with So THIS Is Fitness leading up to Episode 100. Chief among them, he shares that Living In Stride, his and FitWife Megan's new project, has launched! Then, he delves into a deeper conversation about what "fitness" is really all about - health, wellness, and the journey to a better life. We gain a better understanding of exactly what he means by that, and how we can leverage it to change our understanding... and our approach to fitness.
