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. That last sentence seem grammatically suspect. Whatever. Enjoy your running and enjoy the sweet U2 tunes too

Cheers and thank you for listening!

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.
