Episode 65. Lessons From The Paris Olympics
Okay, let's talk about Paris 2024! Because there is so much to talk about. Now, this isn't an episode of me breaking down certain events or races (but we can do that in a future episode if you want!). I give you my biggest takeaways from the games as a whole. And I watched the summer games through a few different lenses. I watched as a fan. I watched as an athlete. I watched as a coach. And I watched as a simple human being. And each of this different viewpoints strengthened the other viewpoints. I hope you enjoy this episode as I roll through some of the great lessons from the Olympic games. And make sure you watch the Paralympics that start August 28th and go through September 8th!

If you run then you're a hopeful person. If you are on a run... you have hope that the run will help you get better in some way. And if you have ever been around a starting line then you have been near one of the most hopeful places on this space rock. And that's a good thing because if you want to run as best as you can then you not only need to have hope you need to know you got it.
This is an episode (following episode 62 Confidence and episode 63 Patience) about another essential ingredient for running success. Whether it's the hope one has before a run or the hope one has when they write a training plan or the hope one has when they start a race it's obvious that hope is always there for the most successful runners and coaches.
I hope you love the episode. See what I did there. I hope so.

It's one of those things that so many runners are looking for... hunting for... searching for. Their PACE! If only there was a map. Well, this episode tries to help you find that elusive pace or should I say elusive paces? Because you have more than one pace. That's because you have more than one effort you run with. And you have more than one purpose to run for.
There are Easy Runs & Tempo Runs & Fartlek Runs & Intervals & Long Runs. They all ask for different paces. Terrain and weather and life and fitness demand that you adjust your paces. You've got strengths and weaknesses and they both can have an effect on your paces. And all your paces change because of changes in places and head-spaces and faces and races.
Does it seem like a lot? Don't worry! We cover it all in 46 minutes. And we even have time for a Mindset Minute with coach tammie bennett of the Show Up Society and we also open up the mailbag! Episode #55 is a great one. Thank you for checking it out!

Temperatures are rising... pretty much everywhere... and pretty much at all times of the year. So this topic is an important one. Because the reality is that we are all going to be dealing with more extreme temperature days. And therefore knowing how best to run (or not run) in those conditions is knowledge that everyone can benefit from. So settle into your chair or get comfortable sitting in traffic or get started on your hike or walk and press play. You'll learn about the importance of the when, where and why of your runs on hot days. You'll also hear about the power of adjustments, the benefits of a great running hat, how sunglasses can keep "Deniro" face away, and why respecting the run on extreme weather days will lead to respecting the runner. There's so much more but I'm tired of typing.
Enjoy the show and thank you for listening! Cheers, Coach Bennett

Almost ten years ago I was sitting in a Nike conference room in NYC. I was asked about a job. Did I want it? I grabbed a legal pad and wrote down my coaching philosophy. I said if you want me then you need to want this too. A few months later those words I wrote were up on a wall in the old Nike 5th Ave store. They looked good up there. But it’s always been more important for those things to be out there on the roads and trails. On a wall they’re just words. And those truths are meant to be more than read. They are meant to be lived. Ten years down the road… I still got the paper I wrote those words on. And I still believe in what I wrote.
This is episode is all about those truths. I hope you enjoy the show and I hope you listen while you are out there… on the roads… on the trails… on the tracks and treadmills… on all those starting lines… so those truths can be experienced off the wall.

We are constantly inundated with excuses to NOT run. So, let's inundate ourselves with excuses TO RUN! In honor of 50 episodes 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. That's why I needed to break these 50 excuses up into two different episodes. 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!

Consistency is key. Maybe the biggest key. What does it unlock? Well, just about everything. That's why we're talking about it! If you can run consistently then you can run more and if you can run more better than you can have more better runs and if you can have more better runs then you've got a really great chance at becoming a better runner! It makes sense. Believe me.

- 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 discussion of the #PBX concept at the recent Twilight Relays here in Portland, Oregon and the extraordinary mindset shift that that T&F meet has introduced to the sport. Then the episode talks about how you can expand the definition of PB's so every day offers you the opportunity to be your best.
Thank you for listening and enjoy the show! Cheers, Coach Bennett

- 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 head out for an easy run or go for a hike or walk or just listen to this in traffic or on the train. Because this episode will benefit your easy runs whether you are on one of them or just getting ready for one in your future.

- We do so many things that slow us down or set us back. And we don't do so many things that would set us up to move ahead. So, let's stop that all that nonsense. And let's start this a better way. We'll go over golden oldies like sleep and hydration. We'll get (not so) new age with mindset and better risk taking. We'll hit a classic like idiotic training and so much more. Hope you enjoy... no... more than that... I hope you love this episode.

All we need is just a little patience. That's what Guns N' Roses said at least. And they were close. We need more than patience. But we do definitely need some patience. This episode is all about one of the essential ingredients to success in running. And it's an important episode because so many runners misconstrue what patience really means. It's not inaction. It's not wasting time. It's not being detached or complacent wither. Patience demands perseverance. And it demands courage and hope. And all of those things help you become a better runner... and a better person too. So, enjoy the episode and please be patient with some of my rambling. You'll be better for it. And thank you to coach tammie of the Show Up Society for another great Mindset Minute.

That's right! We're flipping the script. I'm asking the questions and you are answering them. So, get ready to use that big brain of yours and ponder some sticklers and stumpers. This is a really fun episode. At least I think it is. And it's also some great training for your runs. A run should be a great conversation between your mind and body after all. And great conversations are often made up of questions and stories. This run will demand both... from you!
I also think that you'll need (and want) to spend some time after the episode pondering and processing the questions I give you and the answers you give back. Especially since I ask you a bunch of followup questions to every main question I ask. Anyway, that's why I'm going to list out the main questions from the episode.
So, here they are:
Why do you want to run? Where is your favorite place to run? What time of year is your favorite time of year to run? Track or trails? What's the worst life advice you've ever been given? Who was/is the best teammate you've ever had? What's the hardest thing you've ever done? Do you dance differently when you are alone? If you were tasked with making one meal for people you cared about what would it be? If you could set one big goal for your running right now what would it be? Who in your life do you most believe needs an invitation to a starting line?

The episode is really called Running Isn't Complicated... Runners Are. But I figured brevity would be the best course to take here. The goal of episode 44 is pretty simple... some would say... wait for it... uncomplicated.
So much of running is not complicated. It's a simple activity. But runners are indeed complicated. And if there is one thing that complicated people do really well is overcomplicate the things around them. That's okay! Because we can simplify. We can learn to uncomplicate. We can figure things out.
(And yes, I know uncomplicate is not a real word.)
In this episode some of the uncomplicated parts of running that get complicated by us humans we'll talk about and uncomplicate. Now that's a complicated sentence!
So enjoy the podcast as such uncomplicated topics as getting started, how to ramp up training, motivation. running form... they all get discussed.

This episode is inspired by so many of you asking me what has inspired the way I talk about and handle injuries. Well, we're going to need to run down one of my memory lanes. This episode begins with a story about my junior year in high school and my first serious injury that just happened to happen when I was first getting serious about running.
The lessons from those 6 months when I was a (very cute... dare I say, adorable) sixteen year old are still being taught to me today. I talk about the need to work with experts, be an active participant in your healing, stay involved with the sport and your teammates, continue to cross starting lines, do those things while you're recovering that you couldn't do when you were running, and talk and write about and share your hurt.
I hope thing episode about me being hurt and what I learned from being hurt can help you... whether you are hurt or not.

Episode 40: Answering Your (Mostly About) Running Questions
Well, I put together 14... maybe it's 15... could actually be 13 of the most popular questions that get sent my way and I answer them (as best as I can) on this episode. Questions like do I need to run a marathon, how many days should I run, how do I start running, and why do you have that mustache? You know... the questions I get asked the most. So, sit back or start your run or get walking because this is a great episode. And thank you for sending in so many questions! Keep them coming!

Episode 39: How To Make Adjustments So You Run Better
Coaching isn't about writing a training plan. It's about making adjustments to the training plan. And this episode is all about those adjustments that sometimes need to be made. This is an important episode because so many athletes believe making adjustments to a run, training plan, or workout schedule is a sign of weakness or lack of commitment. That's just silly balderdash!
So listen up because this episode is going to give you the knowledge and the confidence to make adjustments when and if needed. And you'll realize that what makes a training plan or run great are the proper adjustments to that training plan or run.

Sometimes its just easier to tell someone what not to do than it is to tell them what to do. And for this episode that's what we're doing. Well, unless you want your running to suck. Then we are actually telling you what to do. This was a fun one to make and covers a lot of different aspects of running. So, settle in and get ready to make your running better by not doing things that will make your running suck!

Great running is dependent on great recovery so it makes sense to talk about how you can recover like a badass. And if you can recover like a badass you will be increasing the possibility of running like one! So, listen up! Because it's time to learn how to recover better... and therefore run better. By the way, recovering like a badass is about more than recovering from running. But you knew that already, right?

Yes, you read it correctly. Sure, you probably hear about how important it is to learn how to get comfortable being uncomfortable. But you know what's even more important? Getting comfortable being comfortable. It's not only more important it's also harder! You read that correctly too!
It's easier to get people to run too hard than easy enough. It's harder to get people to run easy! And that's because it's just so hard for so many of us to be comfortable simply being comfortable. We think we are not running hard enough. We believe we are not trying hard enough. We doubt that what we are doing is enough if we're comfortable doing it. I made this episode because I want to end that nonsense. So, settle in and enjoy the episode.
And special thanks to the great mindset coach tammie bennett of the show up society for gracing us with another mindset minute to close out the episode.

This one is an important one because success in this most excellent sport of ours is so dependent on your mental and mindful state. And whether or not you are confident plays such a big part on both your mental and mindful state. The problem is that so many athletes and coaches (and parents and teammates) don't understand what confidence really is (and isn't) or how to work on it. Make sure you give this episode a listen and share it with athletes, coaches and parents because we are

I don't believe that you need to fall down to know that it hurts. I don't believe that you need to make a mistake to learn from one. I believe that we can learn from each others mistakes and stumbles and falls. That's why I'm sharing a whole bunch of my mistakes in the hope that doing so will keep you from making the same gaffes.
Some of these mistakes are seemingly obvious ones. Well, the obvious mistakes are obvious because they happen the most. The vast majority of mess ups that I share are directly related to running . Some are tangentially related. And there's even one that's just a grooming mistake. But there is no need for any of you to make that mistake either.
I hope you enjoy the episode and have some fun at my expense. And if this episode helps you have better runs or keeps a goatee off your face... then I've done my job.
Cheers, Coach Bennett
(0:00) Intro (2:34) You don't need to run on ice. I've done it. (6:50) You don't need to do a beer mile or chocolate milk mile. I did both. (10:30) I've run with a phone in my hand... you shouldn't do that (13:40) Don't run in shoes that don't fit. I've done it. (17:13) You don't need to not have toilet paper when you need it. (19:40) You don't need to run a race you shouldn't run. I did. (23:35) Don't tell yourself you can't race because you're not in great shape. I did that. (25:52) Don't run in a thunderstorm. Idiots do that. I did that. I was an idiot. (27:39) You don't need to hang out in the sun unprotected for hours. I did it. It sucks. (32:21) I've run when I was sick. I've run when I was hurt. You don't need to do that. (34:47) You don't need to have a goatee. Ever. I had one once. It was a disaster. (36:32) Don't eat a pepperoni stromboli the night before an early morning race. (38:45) Thought I could get hydrated during a run. I couldn't. You probably can't either. (40:14) I used to say I hated running. It wasn't true and it hurt my running. Don't do that.

You really want to become a better runner? Work on becoming a better coach! Become your own best coach. Do that and you'll run better, smarter, happier and with more joy. You'll also give yourself the best chance to run faster and further. In this episode I'll tell just how you can start to work on becoming a better coach to and for yourself. And if I do my job really well this all ends with you eventually demoting me and promoting you. That's the goal every coach should have by the way. Their athletes should need them a little less every time they meet. Because every athlete should also be a coach. And every coach should be a teacher and student!

Bad runs. They happen. Bad races. They happen too. It's just part of the deal. If you cross enough starting lines you're going to have a few crap runs and races. But even though everyone has a clunker of a run or a dumpster fire of a race we still struggle to deal with them and move on from them.
Well, this episode is all about how to deal with and handle and get over and move on and learn from and take advantage bad runs and bad races.

It's a great time of year to look back at the year that was. So, I'm looking back at my 2023 and that's inspiring me to look ahead to 2024. I talk about what I did that I'm proud of as well as what I should have and could have done better in 2023 and hopefully will do better in 2024. I tell you what the best books I read were and the best movies I watched. I ramble and I roll. Through it all I hope that you have fun listening to the review and more importantly are inspired to do your own 2023 review.

Five Workouts That Are Really FUN (And Really HARD)
14 Dec 2023
00:41:32
Episode 28. Five Workouts That Are Really FUN (And Really HARD)
NERDS! Get excited because this one is a doozy! And by doozy I mean that this episode is straight fun. I'm going to tell you about 5 workouts that are super fun and really hard... or is it really fun and super hard? Maybe it's both. Whatever. Doesn't matter. What matters is that this episode will give you 5 workouts that you can use to mix up your training, challenge yourself, have a good time, and brag to your running buddies about after you do them.
I talk about the Michigan, Endless Fartlek, 40/30, Quarters Up & Down, Split Intervals,
The Michigan: 2K Tempo, 1600m at ~10K Pace, 2K Tempo, 1200m at ~5K Pace, 2K Tempo, 800 @ ~3K Pace, 2K Tempo, 400M at 1500m/Mile Pace or faster. (2K Tempo can be shorter. As an example I've had athletes do 1K of Tempo instead of 2K.)
Endless Fartlek: Fartlek for unknown amount of time with unknown durations of hard and easy. You just don't know how long you got to go hard or can go easy. (Try the Funky Fartlek in the Nike Run Club app.)
40/30: Continuous run (ideally on track) with pace changing every 200 meters. The workout is called 40/30 because the athletes at the University of Oregon would run a 40 second 200m and then go straight into a 30 second 200m. The workout continued until you can no longer successfully run 40/30. You can personalize this by making the 200m times based on YOUR Tempo Run pace and YOUR Mile/1500m Pace.
Quarters Down & Up: You can play with this workout in your own way. My example... Start with a 400 at your Tempo Run pace. Recover for same duration as that 400. Next interval is a 400m ONE SECOND FASTER. Recovery is same duration as that 400. Next interval is a 400m ONE SECOND FASTER. Recovery is same duration as that 400. You keep getting one second faster until you can't. Then you start running 400's ONE SECOND SLOWER. Recovery is same duration as that 400. You keep slowing down by ONLY ONE SECOND until you can't and you slow down more than one second. That ends the workout.
Split Intervals: You simply split up an interval into different paces. For example... you do a 1000m interval and an 800m interval and a 400 Interval. The 1K could be split up as a 200m at 10K pace into 400m at 5K pa

Episode 27 - Simple Strength Work For Runners That Works
You asked. I'm delivering. You wanted to hear about some basic strength training that you can do to help you run better... help you become a better runner... help you be a stronger athlete while you run.
We talk planks, we talk flamingos and pretzel rods and bicycles and fire hydrants and a bunch more simple exercises you can do to help you achieve what you want to achieve.
Yes, those weird names are just nicknames I use for the different exercises. I'm sure there are far more technical names for these same exercises. But they're boring names and besides I don't know them or knew them and forgot them.
And don't worry... there is an offer from me to do some videos that can accompany this episode if enough of you ask for them.

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.

That's right. Diversity wins. That simple sentence is one of my foundational truths as a coach. And I'm not just talking about making sure that you're running recovery runs and long runs and fartlek runs and tempo runs and intervals and hill workouts. I do mean all that too. But I'm also talking about diversifying your purposes and your goals. And I'm talking about bringing diversity into your mindset and how you measure the success of your running. I'm talking about making sure that consistency doesn't become constantly. And I'm talking about diversity should lead to flexibility and should strengthen your strengths and strengthen your weaknesses. I talk about so much more but you are just going to need to listen to the episode to find out what else all that is. There's also a Mindset Minute with the always great coach tammie of the show up society. It's an all around great episode. And yes, this is about running and this is not about running.

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:

Coach Bennett guides you through the 24 hours BEFORE your race. You'll learn how Coach Bennett set up his athletes for the best chance to be successful once they crossed the starting line by making sure everything they did during the day leading up to that starting... set them up top be successful.
It's about alarm clocks and dinner plans. It's about reservations and breakfast. It's about packing bags and making checklists. It's about sleeping masks and extra rolls of toilet paper. It's about more comfort and less stress. It's about so much more.
And it's about more than a race because all the advice, tips, and earned wisdom that Coach Bennett shares during the episode can be used for a big day or an important meeting or a presentation or exam.
Because this is about running... and this is not about running.

Episode 16: How Being A Better Teammate Makes You A Better Runner.
They can be your greatest source of strength or your greatest weakness. Teammates.

Coach Bennett breaks down why becoming a better teammate leads to better running. There is also our first Mindset Minute with Mindset Coach tammie bennett (yes, she still loves lower case letters) and some talk about the Pre Classic and the Sea Hear Now Festival where Coach Bennett rocked his proverbial socks off. This is not only an important episode... it's a really important episode. Is that redundant? Yes. But it's still true and it's true.

Thank you for sharing some of your time and cheers to you for listening to Coach Bennett's Podcast.
