Episode 135. Easy Wins We're talking about easy wins so you can end a losing streak and start a winning one. That's why we're going to talk about how we can set ourselves up for success. And that's why we're talking about why we should acknowledge and celebrate those easy wins. And that's why we're going to talk about a few different easy wins that I believe will lead to more easy wins and more confidence and more starting lines being crossed. By the way, listening to this episode of Coach Bennett's Podcast is an easy win. So, thank you for listening... you winner.  Cheers, Coach Bennett Send us a message Be sure to send any and all questions and comments to the mailbag: Coach Bennett’s Podcast 9220 SW Barbur Blvd STE 119, #322 Portland, Oregon 97219 Be sure to check out the Two Coach Bennetts Merch Store for t-shirts, hoodies, coffee mugs, pint glasses and more! - https://twocoachbennetts.com/merch And if you need even more Coach Bennett in your life you can scratch that itch by subscribing to the Coach Bennett’s Newsletter.

Episode 134. Do The Right Thing It shouldn't be surprising that doing the right thing consistently leads to good things happening consistently or at the very least you can be proud of what YOU did consistently. And this is true between the start and finish lines and beyond the start and finish lines. This episode is about the foundational pillars of what exactly "do the right thing" means for a runner or coach and how it can shape the running journey they are on. It's never not the right time for this conversation but sometimes it's more of the right time for this conversation. This is one of those times.  Thank you for listening to and supporting the podcast.

Episode 133. Right Here. Right Now. You want to know where and when you can work on getting better? Right here and right now. That's the answer. And that's the only answer. You can't work on getting better yesterday. That starting line has left the station and it ain't coming back. And you sure can't work on getting better tomorrow. You'll be waiting forever for that starting line to show up. It's here and now that we get the work done. And it's the best time to do that work because it's the only time we get to work with. So we need to make the best of it. That's what this episode is all about. And we'll even break down what it really means to be optimistic, realistic and pessimistic with a little help from our always reliable assistant coach - the dictionary. Enjoy the episode.  Cheers and thank you for listening to the show!

Episode 132. How To Start or Keep On Running (Using U2 Songs as Inspiration)  You ever wonder how you or someone you care about could best start, start over, start running again or just keep on running? And did you ever wonder about those things but also wonder if there is a way to solely use song titles from the epic and legendary Irish band U2 to serve as chapter titles for that noble and righteous quest? You too??? Get it?  I'll wait.  Well, the wait is over! Because that's what this episode of Coach Bennett's Podcast is all about. And there's a bonus! You get a mixtape playlist of all the U2 songs I mention in this special episode. That's right. So, enjoy the show and enjoy the mixtape and enjoy starting to run or starting over in this sport or starting to run again or just enjoy keeping on running.

Episode 131. Why I Didn't Break 4 I had a few big goals when I was running and racing competitively. One of those goals was breaking 4 minutes in the mile. Well, as you can probably surmise from the title of this episode... I didn't. But my failure to break 4 has led to this soon to be very successful episode of Coach Bennett's Podcast. That is assuming all of you listen to and share the episode with everyone you know. Anyway, in the episode I break down a whole bunch of reasons why I believe I came up short. I go over training mistakes, mindset issues, poor racing strategy and so much more. There were a lot of reasons why I didn't break 4. My hope is that this episode will help you have a better chance at achieving and accomplishing your running goals. So, sit back and enjoy the episode.  Cheers and thank you for listening.  Coach Bennett Send us a message Be sure to send any and all questions and comments to the mailbag: Coach Bennett’s Podcast 9220 SW Barbur Blvd STE 119, #322 Portland, Oregon 97219 Be sure to check out the Two Coach Bennetts Merch Store for t-shirts, hoodies, coffee mugs, pint glasses and more! - https://twocoachbennetts.com/merch And if you need even more Coach Bennett in your life you can scratch that itch by subscribing to the Coach Bennett’s Newsletter.

Episode 130. How To End The Year Running The end of the year is not the time that people start running. In fact, the end of the year os when most people stop running. Poor weather, less hours of sunlight, holiday obligations and travel, work and life stressors - it all adds up to less if any  running getting done at all. That's why we have Episode #130! Because we're going to flip the script. We're not going to wait until the New Year to start running or start running again. This good old year we're in is good enough and so are we! So, listen up because this epsiode of Coach Bennett's Podcast is full of great running advice and tips you can use to make sure you end this year running.

Episode 129. Maybe Is A Power I headed out on my run today and it was drizzling. I though to myself that maybe I'll run 15 minutes... but maybe I'll run 20 minutes... and maybe I'll run 25 minutes. The power here resided in the word maybe. The ownership and the excitement and the honesty and the possibility was all birthed and made possible by that word maybe. This episode is about how you can make your running better by incorporating that word... maybe.. into your training and your running and your living, Thank you for listening!

The rest of you are confused. That's okay! Because this episode is actually about running. Running in winter to be specific. I start by telling you how to get into the groove. Yes, there will be a special nod to Madonna. And I'll talk about the importance of getting into gear and getting inspired and getting intelligent and getting inside and getting interesting and a whole lot more. So, get cozy.

Episode 127. Now What?  The race is over. The training cycle is finished. You crossed. the finish line. Now what? I've wanted to do this episode for a few weeks. So, I was super excited when it came time to record it. The problem was that I had a bad cough. The kind of cough that won't let you speak more than two sentences without coughing. And, I'm in a car driving across the country. Luckily, I happen to know the best coach in the world AND I'm driving across the country with her. So, problem solved. You get the first GUEST HOST of Coach Bennett's Podcast - the one and only Tammie Bennett of the Show Up Society. Tammie takes over the show. And I just drove and tried not to cough the entire time. Yes, she recorded the entire podcast from the passengers seat of our car while we drove through Iowa. Tammie kept saying Nebraska. I had burned through the Cornhusker state before we started recording. But enough of my driving prowess. The real winners are all of you listeners because Coach Tammie is going to talk to you about how best to handle that time AFTER the big race, presentation, event, day, moment. Enjoy the show!

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 124. Moving On Sometimes the hardest part of a running a race isn't the race. And sometimes it's not even the training you need to do so you can run race that race. Sometimes the hardest part is after the race. It's letting go. It's moving on. We can give so much to a training cycle. We can put so much into the journey. We can invest so much into race day and the outcome. We can suddenly find ourselves lost and adrift when it's all over. This episode is about acknowledging all of this. And it's about how you can handle the process of moving on so you can move forward. Yes, this is about running. And this is not about running.  Cheers and thank you for listening!

Episode 123. Success Success. What is it? How do you define it? How do you measure it? What happens when you don't reach a goal? Is there such a thing as partial success? So many questions.

Episode 122. On The Starting Line We all stand there on starting lines. Together. Alone. With the unknown ahead of us. No guarantees. This episode is inspired by so many of you that have reached out over the last few weeks to ask about the starting line. Over the last few weeks I've been to the Berlin Marathon, the Portland Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K and Kids Mile, and now I'm recording this episode in Chicago with this great city's marathon only a couple of days away. I talk nerves, confidence, looking ahead and behind, what to focus on and what not to focus on and I talk about hope.

Episode 121. Ready, Set, Go!  This is a really special episode. Because I get to talk about something that is near and dear to my heart - how to introduce the sport to kids (and adults). About ten years ago, I helped create something called Ready, Set, Go! for Nike Running. It was a guide for both kids and the adult in their lives that was going to help introduce them to this wonderful sport. Well, we decided to refresh Ready, Set, Go! and I couldn't be more excited about it.  So, I figured, why not make a podcast that goes over some of the concepts of the guide. And the best part is that the concepts for kids are basically the same concepts for adults when it comes to introducing someone that is new to the sport or starting over in the sport. If there are kids in your life that you believe would love the sport or you're a parent or you're thinking about becoming a coach or already are one then this episode is for you.  And be sure to check out the refreshed Ready, Set, Go! guide here.  Cheers and thank you for listening to the show and for sharing, celebrating and saving this fantastic sport that we've got.  Coach Bennett Send us a message Be sure to send any and all questions and comments to the mailbag: Coach Bennett’s Podcast 9220 SW Barbur Blvd STE 119, #322 Portland, Oregon 97219 Be sure to check out the Two Coach Bennetts Merch Store for t-shirts, hoodies, coffee mugs, pint glasses and more! - https://twocoachbennetts.com/merch And if you need even more Coach Bennett in your life you can scratch that itch by subscribing to the Coach Bennett’s Newsletter.
