Telling the Story of a Run Using 80's Song Titles
Episode 153. Telling the Story of a Run Using 80's Song Titles What can I say? I love 80's music. I love telling stories. And I love running. Seems like the perfect combination to give myself the excuse to mix them all up together for an episode of Coach Bennett's Podcast. This one was a fun one to make and because I love all of you so much I decided to make a companion playlist that you can listen to on your runs or in traffic or while you cook or party or shower or dance. No need to thank me for creating your new favorite music playlist. Just promise me that you'll share this episode with someone you care about and share this sport of ours with them too.

Showing Up Counts With Lilia Martinez
Every runner has a starting line that didn't look like a starting line. For Lilia Martinez, hers looked like a dance floor. Ballet first, then tap, then jazz, the thing that finally stuck because it gave her room to move without a script. Running wasn't the plan. It showed up later, the way a lot of meaningful things do, in the form of a New Year's resolution with roommates and a half marathon she signed up for without fully understanding what she'd agreed to. That's basically the whole theme of this one. Saying yes before you feel ready. Lilia talks about training through the Nike Run Club app, learning the sport from scratch with a coach on the other side of a screen in Mexico, and slowly building the kind of belief that doesn't stay contained to running. That belief turned outward into El Barrio Running, the community she co-founded in New York City two years ago that's grown from six runners to fifty showing up most Saturdays. We get into structure versus freedom, dancer versus runner, and the imposter syndrome that convinces so many people to add a qualifier to their own accomplishments. I run, but I'm slow. I run, but I've never done a marathon. Lilia's answer to all of it: maybe the run doesn't need a qualifier. Maybe showing up is the whole point.

INTRODUCING: The After Dark Tour Series, Embracing The Starting Line With Emily Abbate
INTRODUCING: The After Dark Tour Series, Embracing The Starting Line With Emily Abbate Every run is a new version of you. That's the thing nobody tells you when you're standing there in your first pair of running shoes, wondering if you're allowed to call yourself a runner yet. You are. You already are. You were the moment you decided to lace up, not the moment someone else decided you'd earned it. In the first episode of our After Dark Tour series, I’m sitting down with Emily Abbate from the Hurdle podcast. Emily started running in 2008 the way a lot of us do, hoping to improve her health, and ended up gaining so much more — self confidence, happiness, and a new passion. We talk about the difference between running for a goal and running for your soul, why community is the thing she wishes she'd trusted sooner, and why a hilly and humid course in LA turned into one of her favorite race memories ever. We also get into what I think coaching actually is. Spoiler: it's not building something that wasn't there. It's uncovering something that already was. If you're new to the sport, or new to After Dark Tour, or just need a reminder of why you started, this one's for you. CHECK OUT EMILY @emilyabbate @hurdlepodcast LISTEN TO HURDLE, here.

Lessons From The Road
Episode 149. Lessons From The Road I've been on the road a lot lately. I was in Berlin. I was in Washington, DC. I was in Boston. I was in London. I was in Copenhagen. I was in Amsterdam. I was in New Jersey. I'm in Chicago. And I'll be in Bolder in just a few days. Explains why this episode is being dropped a few days later than usual. Also explains my inability to fall asleep when it's time for bed. But all this travel also inspired this episode. Because all this travel has inspired me. Actually, it's not the travel. It's all of you that I've met and spoken to and hugged and cheered on that inspired me. It's your stories and your running that has inspired me. So, I'm sharing what I saw and what I heard. I'm sharing what I learned. I'm sharing lessons from the road. Cheers, Coach Bennett LINKS FROM THE EPISODE Want to pre-order a signed copy of my book?

Running Isn't Complicated. Runners Are.
Episode 148. Running Isn't Complicated. Runners Are. Sure, running may seem complicated. But, it's not. Don't let the internet and social media fool you. Running is a simple sport. It's the runners that make it complicated. And that's what also makes the sport so interesting and always fresh. You are in fact a new version of yourself each and every time you come back to the starting line for a new run. So, sit back or start a run or go for a walk and enjoy this episode where I break down what not complicated about running and how we runners add our complication to make running... not complicated... but maybe not so simple either. Sounds complicated doesn't it? Well, don't worry. It's not. Cheers and thank you for listening, Coach Bennett Send us a message My book This Is About Running.

STOP
Episode 144. STOP There's a whole lot of stuff that runners do that they shouldn't do. The cool thing is that if runners stop doing things they shouldn't do they'll have more time to do the things that they should do. And if you can start doing the things you should do and stop doing the things you shouldn't do then you'll have a better time doing the things you want to do and you'll do those things better. Pretty sweet how it all works out. That's why I spend this episode going over a list of things that runners should stop doing. You should start listening to "STOP" right now.

What Makes A Run Successful?
Episode 142. What Makes A Run Successful? What makes a run successful? It's a great question, isn't it? I feel like most runners know what makes a run unsuccessful. And I feel like most runners all too quickly designate a run a total failure without really asking themselves what makes a run successful. That's why I also feel like so many runners miss out on so much success they earned from so many of their runs. I'm hoping that this episode will change that. So, settle in or go for a run or hike and listen to a whole bunch of questions I have for you. And if you can ask yourself these very same questions that I'm asking you I feel like you're going to earn a whole lot more success. I guess that would make this podcast episode a success.

8 Ways To Get Better
Episode 141. 8 Ways To Get Better So, you want you get better at running or at something other than running? Well, you found the right podcast. Because after I talk about my birthday weekend in NYC I spend 35 minutes of this episode detailing eight different ways you can work on getting better. And guess what? You can get started on all of them immediately. I intentionally ended the title of this episode without specifically mentioning running. Because I feel that all of these tips can be used for something in your life besides running. It's up to you, as always, to decide how, where and when to use the advice. Cheers to you and thank you for listening.

5 Ways To Make Your Easy Runs Easier
Episode 140. 5 Ways To Make Your Easy Runs Easier Your easy runs are your most important runs. Why? Well, because you're going to run more easy run minutes, meters and miles than any other minutes, meters or miles. And if you don't run your easy runs or don't run your easy runs the right way you'll never be able to run those speed runs and long runs as great as you could or should. That's why. And that's why I made this episode. Because if you can make your easy runs easier to run there is a better chance of you running them the right way and that means there is a better chance of you being able to run better speed runs and longs runs and if you run better easy runs and speed runs and long runs then you're going to be unstoppable.

Smart Stuff People Say About Running
Episode 137. Smart Stuff People Say About Running In a world that seems to be giving more and more screen time to really dumb opinions and asinine commentary about running (and just about everything else for that matter) I thought it might be a great idea to celebrate some smart stuff runners say. You can look at this episode as the companion show to Episode 136 which was entitled Dumb Stuff Runners Say. As much fun as the Dumb Stuff episode was to make I got to say that this was was even more fun to make! Hope you have as much fun listening to this episode as I did rambling and ranting through it.

Dumb Stuff People Say About Running
Episode 136. Dumb Stuff People Say About Running I hear all sorts of stuff. Some of it is inspiring. Some of it is motivational. Some of it is super smart. Some of it challenges my preconceived notions. Some of it is really... really... really dumb. Well, I figured that I could save you the time figuring out that some advice is asinine and sub-moronic by calling out that stupendously stupid advice on one of my podcast episodes. This means you'll have more time in your day to do cool things and learn about new subjects and expand your horizons. I'll just keep documenting the idiocy and dropping a podcast now and again telling you all about my latest collection of truly stupid pieces of advice and uneducated opinions I've come across.

Do The Right Thing
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.
