Coach Bennett's Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Episode 126. Just Wait A Minute

Sometimes all it takes to set a day straight or a run right is a minute. But you'll need the strength and confidence to wait a minute and reset or refresh or retry or redo. I did just that today. Because I needed to tell myself to just wait a minute and take that minute to recharge. So, take 30 minutes here and now and listen to the latest episode of Coach Bennett's Podcast before you head out for a recovery run or long run or fartlek run or decide to start running again after a race or an injury or a training cycle.  

Cheers and thank you for listening!

Episode 125. How To Have A Better Race 

This is a special one. Because it's episode 125! And because running a race is special. And because we have Coach Bennett the Greater as a guest. That's right! Tammie Bennett of the Show Up Society is back! And this is also a special episode because you all asked for an episode on what you could do before race day and on the starting line on race day and on the other side of that starting line on race day so you have a better chance to run a better race. Well, you asked and this episode delivers. And yes, this episode is about running and this episode is not about running. Thank you so much to Tammie and thank you so much to all of you for listening and sharing this episode and this sport with so many. 

I appreciate you all. 

Cheers,

Coach Bennett

Episode 116: Goals: How To Set, Change, Drop and Achieve Them

It's always a great time to talk about goals. And when you talk about goals you need to talk about more than how to set them. You need to know how to change and adjust goals and how to drop goals too. Big goals. Little goals. Medium sized goals. Long term goals. Short term goals. We cover it all. So, enjoy the show and please know that one of my goals in making this episode was to help you have a better chance achieving all of your goals for having listened to it. 

Cheers,

Coach Bennett

Episode 26:  What I Learned From Running 2000 Days In A Row

This one was... well, 2000 days in the making. What started as an attempt to get more consistent has become something I'm really proud of and at the same time something that I'm okay with ending... if it ever becomes just a streak.

This episode is all about what I've learned over the last 5 1/2 years running every... single.. day. Hope you enjoy the episode and maybe even get inspired to go for a run yourself. Cheers and thank you for listening.

Bonus Episode:  Super Special NXN Episode!

NXN (NIKE Cross Nationals) is my favorite race. Period. It's my favorite.

NXN is the US high school XC nationals championships. The 22 best girls teams and 50 best individuals meet in Portland, Oregon to all take the same starting line and race for the glory. The 22 best boys teams and 50 best individuals meet in Portland, Oregon to all take the same starting line and race for the glory.

Two starting lines. Two races. But so much more than that is going on. And this episode my attempt to share a little history about the meet but more importantly what is going on during the race so YOU can watch the race and fully enjoy the pure epicness (is that a real word?) that is NXN.

If you run... then you need to listen to this episode. Because you should be a fan of this race and these young athletes. They will inspire you and motivate you. And NXN is a badass celebration of our sport.

Here are some GREAT links for you to further enjoy NXN:

Episode 25. Grateful  Running.

Thank you for listening to this episode. Feels good to say thank you. Feels good to hear it too. And this episode is all about thankfulness and gratitude. Thankfulness and gratitude for running. Runners. Runs. The community around the sport. The culture. The lessons and opportunities. Grateful and thankful for so much. And I think being grateful and thankful is a super for a runner. So, listen to this episode and get in on the action. By the end of the episode you'll hear a whole bunch of what I'nm grateful for and I'll ask you to come up with a whole bunch of things that you're grateful for.

Episode 23. Mindset Matters: All About Racing
 
Do we have a special episode for you? Oh baby yes! We've got Mindset Coach Extraordinaire tammie bennett (she loves lower case letters) of The Show Up Society. We asked for questions last week and you responded with so many questions we literally had to delay this episode because it took too long to record and edit and upload.  That's my way of blaming you for this dropping episode late and also celebrating you for making this episode a reality. So, sit back... or run with with this... or walk with it.... or sit in traffic with this fantastic episode. And thank you for listening!

Here are some links for you to freak out about... in a good way...

Episode 22.  Could You Be A Runnerd?

This episode was inspired by a Coach Bennett's Newsletter from September 2023 that was inspired by an Instagram post I wrote in 2015.  And after feedback from the readers of the newsletter asking for more information about runnerdism I finally caved and... well... here we are.

This episode will not only define what a Runnerd  actually is but will also celebrate what it means to be a runnerd and even give some background on Coach Bennett's journey from an adorable and wildly charismatic kid to a handsome and wildly charismatic runnerd.  So, calling all runnerds! Get ready to listen to an episode that is all about you and your passion and your love. It's about you. Because you nerd out about running and that is glorious because that makes you a runnerd!

Hope you love the episode and thank you for listening!

Cheers,
Coach Bennett
