Hey, hey, my runner friend. Today's warm up topic is something that shows up for a lot of us. It's your inner critic, or as some people like to call it, your inner bully, your inner mean girl.
Now you know what I mean about this inner critic business, right? You know, that little voice that pops up right when you're lacing up your shoes, or even maybe when you're lying in bed thinking about going for a run. That little voice has a lot of opinions about you and running, doesn't it? Well, I've got a lot to say about that voice so let's dive in!

Hey, hey, my runner friend. Today we are talking all about how to set realistic running goals. And by that, I mean ones you can actually achieve and feel really proud of.

Hey, hey, my runner friend. Today we are going to focus on what to do when you feel judged for running slowly.
When you don't have a small body or you don't have a typical runner's looking body and on top of that you feel like you're plodding along or that everybody else is faster than you, of course, you're gonna assume that everybody else is thinking you look ridiculous and that you shouldn't be running and you should be embarrassed and all the things right. How could they possibly have any other opinion? But...is that actually true? Let's dive in!

Hey, hey, my runner friend. Today we are going to focus on your breathing. Your breathing is a direct indicator of your effort level.
When your breathing feels controlled and relaxed, it means your effort level is right in the sweet spot. And when it feels like you can't catch your breath, you are probably working above your ability in the moment. But there are lots of factors that can affect your breathing and the level of effort that you're putting out. Let's dive in!

Hey, hey, my runner friend. Well, it's official after a long hiatus. I am back with new episodes and I have missed you. So I'm changing things up a bit and trying a new format. So instead of longer episodes where I do a deep dive into a topic, I'm going to do these short pep talks, sort of just long enough to get you through your warmup and ready to start your run.
And each week we're going to do a different topic to help you get your mind in the right space to have a great workout. Today I 'm going to give you a different way to think about running pace. Today's our first run so let's get started.

I experienced something recently that got me thinking about how conditioned we are to blame ourselves when we don’t fit someone else’s expectations. It happens on airplanes with seatbelts, and it happens at races with race shirts that only come in S, M, and L.
Tune in this week to discover how you’ve been socialized by a patriarchal society with an embedded anti-fat bias, and how to break the cycle, speak up, and ask for what you want even though the answer might be a no.

I’ve been working with some clients recently on planning for their goals. But we can’t have a conversation about goals without talking about failure, what it means to us as runners and humans, and why we’re so scared of failing. So, tune in this week to discover what to do when you’ve f*$@ed up. I’m sharing why real success never happens on the first try, why not acknowledging this reality is stopping so many people from doing incredible things, and how to get clear on where your beliefs about failure are holding you back.

This week, we’re diving into a topic everyone can relate to - our inner mean girl. She’s the negative voice in our head that makes us feel like crap by telling us that we’re too fat, too slow, or too whatever. Even when other people compliment us, our inner mean girl steps in to tell us they’re wrong. But fear not; because I'm telling you why it doesn’t have to be this way.

This week, we’re talking about how to process a DNF, DFL or a DNS. For those of you who don’t know, DNF stands for Did Not Finish. DFL means Dead Fucking Last. And a DNS means Did Not Start.
I’ll be honest with you: it’s more than likely you will experience one or all of these as you begin your running journey. But don’t let that put you off. I'm sharing how to process the emotions you experience instead of making these things mean you’re a failure.
