I’ve received a lot of comments on my social media posts over the years basically saying that if you are a runner, you shouldn’t need help losing weight. The main thought behind these types of comments is that if you run, you shouldn’t be overweight and that running, in and of itself, is all you need to do in order to lose those extra pounds. These are nice ideas, but they just don’t hold up in reality. In this episode, I’ll address all the reasons why runners need help losing weight, and why it doesn’t involve running more miles.

This past weekend I had the privilege to be a part of the 49th annual Marine Corps Marathon. Just to be clear, I did not run the race, instead, I was able to be a part of this amazing event from a very different perspective, one that most people don’t ever get to experience. I came away from the race feeling all the feelings and it really renewed my love of the sport of running. In this episode of the podcast, I share some of the big lessons learned at Marine Corps Marathon and how this event has changed my life for the better.

When you think of discipline, what comes to mind? For some, it conjures up images of obeying rules and doling out punishment for anyone who disobeys. I never think of discipline as punishment, but rather a method of achieving whatever worthwhile goal that I want for myself. If there’s something big that you want for yourself, I’m telling you, there’s no magic formula, it just takes practicing the art of discipline to get it. So in this episode of the podcast, I'll be exploring what it means to practice the art of discipline so that you can achieve everything you want in your life.
