261. Replay: How Your Thinking (More Than Anything Else) Determines Your Results

When it comes to fitness, so much attention is put on your actions – what you should and shouldn’t do. Eat this, not that. Lift this way, not that. Train like this, not that. I’m not suggesting you shouldn’t do stuff, but I think you need to stop focusing all of your attention on actions and start paying more attention to your thinking. It’s you thinking that determines whether you stick to a plan or not. It’s your thinking that keeps you going when the going gets tough.

257. Replay: Handling the Holidays Like a Badass

The holidays can be a very difficult time of the year for a lot of people. Shopping for gifts, planning social events, spending more time with family, and the added end-of-year demands at work can all lead to feeling more stressed and overwhelmed. Not to mention the shorter days, colder temperatures, and lack of sunlight can make getting outside to exercise more challenging. It can be very easy to just say “F-it” and blow off all your diet and exercise plans, stay indoors watching Netflix with a big ol’ glass of wine, and hibernate until the New Year. But if that’s not how you want to roll in 2025, I’ve got an alternative solution for you.

256. Why Runners Need Help Losing Weight

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. Comments like, “If you want to lose weight, just run more”, or, “I lost all the extra weight when I did the ‘couch to 5k’ training program”, or, “If you’re a runner, you shouldn’t need to lose 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. It was a very emotional experience for me. I came away from the race feeling all the feelings and it really renewed my love of the sport of running. There were several other big takeaways too so I decided to organize my thoughts a little and share all of this with you here on the podcast.

252. Practicing the Art of Discipline

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. But when I think of discipline I think of training myself to do something day in and day out, usually something I don’t feel like doing. 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 be practicing the art of discipline so that you can achieve everything you want in your life.

247. The Mindset Shift Required in Order to Succeed

Lots of factors go into whether or not you will successfully achieve a goal. How bad you want it, where you are in your life, your physical limitations just to name a few. But one of the most powerful indicators of success is a shift in your mindset. Most people do not consider their mindset when they set out to accomplish a goal like losing weight.

246. The Macronutrient That Matters Most for Runners

I talk a lot about carbs here on the podcast, mainly why it’s advised to keep your carbs low if you’re a runner who wants to lose weight and use body fat as fuel for running. I realized I haven’t spent much time talking about the other macronutrients – fat and protein. Fat and protein are essential nutrients that often get overlooked when it comes to low-carb diets and fat-adapted running. I’m hoping to remedy that here today.

245. Replay: How to Tell When You’re at Your Natural Weight

I talk a lot about losing weight and eventually getting to your “natural weight” but I’ve never really taken the time to explain what your “natural weight” is. Several people have been asking me about this lately so I thought it would be a good idea to dig into this topic here on the podcast today. Listen, losing weight is a very personal thing, and there’s not one right way to do it. Lots of different things work for different people. The same goes for what your natural weight should be – it’s a very personal thing. And yet, lots of people have lots of opinions about what YOUR natural weight should be. In this episode, I’m going to talk about some of the standards we use to determine ideal weight, and why they don’t work for everyone, what “natural weight” means, and how to tell when you’re at your natural weight.

244. Motivation Strategies to Keep You Moving Forward

If you have a big goal like losing weight and keeping it off, then you know it is going to take a while to reach that goal. One of the main reasons people don’t reach their weight loss goal is that they lose motivation. They do OK for a few weeks or a few months and then all that motivation they had at the beginning is gone and they give up on themselves. The interesting thing is that there are different motivation strategies that work for different people. Not everyone responds to the same types of motivation.
