EP. 209 - How To Tell If A Workout Was a Success
2026/02/05
Have you ever finished a workout wondering, “Did that even do anything?” Or maybe you nailed every interval and still questioned whether it counted as progress. In this episode, we break down how to measure the true success of your workouts — beyond pace, distance, or how hard you pushed. YOU'LL LEARN HOW TO: Define a successful workout based on your goals Use both objective metrics and subjective feedback to track progress Recognize when recovery signals success Focus on patterns over perfection to build long-term results Whether you’re chasing a PR, training for your first race, or just looking to stay consistent, this episode will help you train smarter, not harder. KEY TAKEAWAYS Mindset matters first – Success is about meeting the goal of the workout, not comparing yourself to others or yesterday. Use objective metrics – Pace, heart rate, completed intervals, or RPE all help you know if you executed the plan. Listen to subjective signs – Energy, focus, and mental clarity during a session are strong indicators of progress. Recovery is part of success – How you feel 24–48 hours later often tells you more than the watch. Look at the big picture – Patterns over weeks and months matter far more than any single session. WHY THIS MATTERS Many runners overvalue speed and intensity and undervalue smart execution and adaptation. By learning how to measure workout success correctly, you’ll reduce burnout, prevent injury, and stay consistent in your training for longer-term results.

EP. 208 - 8 Lessons I Learned From Racing 8 Marathons
2026/01/29
Training hard doesn’t always lead to faster marathon times. In fact, for many runners chasing a new PR or Boston Qualifying time, effort is rarely the missing piece. In this episode, I’m breaking down eight key lessons I’ve learned from running eight marathons. These are the mindset shifts, execution skills, and training principles that helped me move past marathon plateaus and finally unlock better performances. If you’ve ever felt stuck despite doing “everything right,” this episode will help you rethink how you train, race, and measure progress. In this episode, we cover: Why marathon fitness doesn’t show up linearly and how to spot real progress The critical role easy running plays in breaking through performance plateaus How long runs should train execution, not just endurance Why restraint early in the marathon leads to stronger finishes and faster times How to interpret fatigue without panicking or overcorrecting Fueling as a performance skill, not an afterthought Where real race-day confidence actually comes from Why breakthroughs often happen when you stop forcing the outcome This episode is especially helpful for runners who: Have run multiple marathons but feel stuck at the same finish time Are chasing a PR or Boston Qualifying standard Want to train smarter without burning out Are ready to shift from “working harder” to “executing better” 🎧 Listen now and learn how to turn consistency, patience, and execution into your next marathon breakthrough.

EP. 207 - 7 Signs You Shouldn’t Run and How These Mindset Shifts Can Lead to Your Next Breakthrough
2026/01/22
Most runners don’t hit a plateau because they aren’t working hard enough. They plateau because they don’t know when to stop running. In a running culture that celebrates grit, streaks, and pushing through pain, it’s easy to believe that more miles are always the answer. But for many runners, especially those chasing a breakthrough or coming up just short of their goals, constantly pushing harder is exactly what keeps them stuck. In this episode, we break down the key signs you shouldn’t run, how training plateaus show up before injury or burnout, and the mindset shift that helps runners finally move forward. You’ll Learn: Common signs runners ignore that signal the need for rest How plateaus often feel before they show up in race results Why pushing through fatigue can stall progress and increase injury risk How learning when not to run can lead to stronger, faster breakthroughs What to do when rest feels uncomfortable or like you’re losing fitness This episode isn’t about running less.It’s about training smarter, staying healthy, and creating long-term progress. If you’re a runner who feels stuck, flat, or frustrated despite consistent training, this conversation will help you rethink rest, redefine strength, and reconnect with sustainable performance. Sometimes the breakthrough isn’t another hard run.It’s knowing when not to run.
