This week, I had the pleasure of talking to one of my favorite running coaches who I’ve looked up to for years, Megan Roche.

You may know her from SWAP running or the SWAP podcast that she hosts with her husband, David Roche. Or maybe you know her from their book, The Happy Runner. And if you don’t know Megan, she is also an amazing runner herself, coach, MD, PHD candidate in epidemiology and one of the most positive, supportive people I’ve ever met.

Here are some of the topics you can expect in this episode:

Embracing your inner ninja
Injecting fun and play into your running
Building the aerobic base alongside reinforcing speed
Data free days
Learning to run by feel
Training for the long term & dreaming big
The importance of having a why
Balancing scientific studies and anecdotes
Open-mindedness and flexibility in coaching
Coach-athlete relationships & being fully yourself
Dealing with negativity
Coaching a diverse range of athletes
Her pregnancy journey

This conversation was the highlight of my week, and I hope y'all enjoy this as much as we did.

I asked what you all wanted to hear about and overwhelmingly the response was the top training mistakes that I see as a coach and from being an athlete myself for years.

I narrowed it down to 12 common mistakes that I see (though I could probably extend this list tbh) and talk about the first 6 in this week’s episode. I procrastinated recording this and ran out of time, so you’ll have to wait until next week to hear the second 6. :)

This week, I’m joined by Mental Strength Coach & Sports Psychology Consultant Lucie Hanes from Inside Out Athlete.

We talk about the mental aspect of running, the value of mental strength, tips for dealing with the common running situations (injury, DNF/DNS, pain caves, etc), and the importance of viewing yourself as a whole human with respect to your sport(s) and your other passions.

This conversation is SO FREAKING GOOD, and I hope you love it as much as I do.
