310. The Lies We Tell Ourselves About Losing Weight
Today on the podcast, we’re digging into something that every runner deals with but almost no one talks about openly: “The Lies We Tell Ourselves About Losing Weight.” These thoughts are subtle. They’re sneaky. They feel reasonable. And that’s exactly why they keep so many runners stuck. We tell ourselves little stories like “I run so much, I should be able to eat whatever I want,” or “I’ll start eating better after my race,” or “It’s just my hormones,” and we don’t even question them. They become invisible barriers that quietly sabotage our progress. In this episode, I’m going to shine a big bright light on the most common lies runners tell themselves about losing weight, why they feel so true, and how to shift into thoughts that actually support your goals. If you’re ready for honesty, clarity, and a massive mindset upgrade… this one’s for you. Apply for Coaching Ready to stop guessing and start getting results?

308. The Hidden Ways Runners Overeat (Without Realizing It)
Today on the podcast, we’re talking about something that most runners think they understand but almost always get wrong. It’s the subtle, sneaky stuff we do around food that feels harmless… but consistently slows our progress, stalls fat loss, and keeps us struggling more than we should. This episode is called “The Hidden Ways Runners Overeat (Without Realizing It),” and once you hear these patterns, you’ll start seeing them everywhere. We’re diving deep into mindless eating, “healthy” overeating, weekend creep, training hunger, emotional snacking, and—most importantly—how to take back control. If you’ve been running consistently but not seeing the changes you expected… if your eating feels mostly “fine” but something still isn’t working… or if you’re tired of feeling like you take one step forward and one step back, this episode will give you the clarity you’ve been missing.

307. The Off-Season Advantage: Build Strength and Endurance While Others Rest
This week on the podcast, I’m talking about something most runners overlook completely—the off-season. And the truth is, if you use it the right way, it can become your biggest competitive edge. That’s exactly what we’re getting into inside this episode, The Off-Season Advantage: Build Strength and Endurance While Others Rest. Most runners come out of race season tired, beat up, and unsure of what to do next. They either keep pushing too hard or they stop training altogether. But the off-season is actually where the real transformation happens. This is the phase where you can rebuild your body, increase your strength, expand your aerobic engine, and set yourself up for massive success in the next training block. So if you want to make real progress while everyone else is shutting it down, don’t skip this one. Apply for Coaching Ready to stop guessing and start getting results?
