One of the big keys to achieving anything significant in your life – losing weight and keeping it off, running a marathon – is confidence. Being confident that you can accomplish something big will make that accomplishment practically inevitable. The opposite is also true however – a severe lack of confidence will make it basically impossible to reach that big goal. So how do you get more confidence? Well, you are in luck because that’s what’s on the agenda here today. In this episode, I explain what confidence is, how it might just be the game-changer you’re looking for, and how to have more confidence now.

How are your stress levels these days? About 80% of Americans say they feel some degree of stress in their daily lives. Of course, some feel stress more often than others, but the fact is, we are a stressed-out society. Not dealing with stress can have all kinds of health and wellness implications including weight gain, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, depression, and a host of other issues. Having a daily stress management practice is imperative if you want to be a healthy happy human. And one of the most powerful ways to manage stress is to practice mindfulness. So in this episode, I explain the power of practicing mindfulness and why it might be the best gift you can ever give yourself. Work With Me Interested in working with me in a one-on-one setting?

We’re in the middle of the Spring racing season here in the US and a lot of runners ask me questions about pacing for their upcoming race. Should you start slow and then try to finish fast? Should you start fast and try to make up some time for when you inevitably slow down at the end of a race? Should you focus on your heart rate? Your cadence? Your current pace or average pace? Believe it or not, there is one pacing strategy that has been proven time and again to be the most effective for practically every runner. Today I will answer the question, “What’s the best pacing strategy”, so you can go out there and crush your Spring race this year. Work With Me Interested in working with me in a one-on-one setting?

One of the most powerful things you can do to improve your health and fitness is to regularly push past your comfort zone. This might seem obvious to you and pretty basic, but it’s an area where most people really struggle. The idea of getting uncomfortable is easy to understand, and most people say they’re more than willing to get uncomfortable. But when they come face-to-face with their own discomfort, all those good intentions go out the window. Most people end up running back to the safety and security of their well-constructed comfort zones. So today on the podcast, it’s all about pushing past your comfort zone so you can grow, evolve, and become the most badass version of yourself yet.

17 years ago I finally made the decision to give up drinking alcohol. This was not a decision that came quickly or easily, I had been drinking daily for many, many years. I got to a point where my life was not what I wanted it to be. I wanted more for myself and alcohol was standing between me and the person I ultimately wanted to be. So today on the podcast, how I experienced freedom from alcohol, got my life back, and became healthier and happier than I ever thought possible.

There’s a lot of interesting food advice being given out these days by health and fitness “experts.” One in particular that has stood out to me lately goes something like, “Take a few days each week and go crazy! Eat whatever you want! You don’t want to be too restrictive with your diet!” I’ve done a lot of thinking about this idea, in fact, I even tried it…for a while. I’ve learned a lot about this principle in the last few months and today I share my thoughts with you about it. In this episode of the Running Lean podcast, I explain the problem with eating whatever you want and offer a better way to do things.

Have you ever found yourself at the end of a sleeve of Oreos or at the bottom of a bag of potato chips and thought…did I really just eat all that? I know I have…and too many times to count! If so, then you have probably been doing some mindless eating. Mindless eating is something we have all done at one point or another, and it’s something you can absolutely change. You don’t have to continue to eat mindlessly, there are some practical things you can do to change this behavior. So today on the podcast, what mindless eating is and how to stop the mindless eating once and for all. Work With Me Interested in working with me in a one-on-one setting?

If you’ve ever trained for a marathon then you know that sacrifices have to be made in order to achieve that goal. You have to put in a lot of hours on the weekends running in the cold. You have to give up time with your family and friends. You endure sore legs for days and you’re tired all the time. You are more than willing to sacrifice these things in order to run that race. How about when it comes to losing weight? What are you willing to sacrifice in order to hit your weight loss goal?

A lot of runners are told not to lose weight while training for a race. There are many reasons why they are given this advice (which I cover in today’s episode), but I don’t necessarily agree with all of it. I believe there’s a right way and a wrong way to lose weight as a runner, even when you’re training for an event like a half or full marathon.

If you want to lose weight and keep it off, you probably already know that you have to change your diet. This is obvious and we all know this, but that’s where most people stop. They change their diet and they see some results but it rarely lasts because they’ve only changed their behavior, not the thinking that drives the behavior. They keep slipping back into old eating patterns because they haven’t changed the thoughts that created those patterns in the first place. If you think you can change your diet but not your thinking, you are always going to struggle. So today on the podcast, if you want to change a behavior and make it last, then you have to change how you think. Work With Me Interested in working with me in a one-on-one setting?

As runners, we’ve been told over the last 40 years or so that the only way to fuel for running is with carbohydrates. Loads and loads of carbs. Eat lots of carbs every day, carb load the day before you run, carb up in the morning pre-run, consume ample carbs during the run, and then of course you’ll want some carbs for recovery after your run. This has been the standard approach since the 80s but it’s definitely not the only way to do things. The thing is, this approach just doesn’t work for everyone. Some people (like me) gain a lot of weight eating all those carbs, regardless of how much we run. In this episode, I offer an alternative way to fuel long-distance running, one that doesn’t cause you to gain weight in the process.

Recently I spent a week on vacation and decided to change my diet a bit. I made the decision to eat more freely, to enjoy some of the amazing local food, to eat dessert, bread, pastries, and generally be a bit less strict about my diet. It was definitely an interesting experience and I learned some very valuable lessons along the way. In this episode, it’s all the lessons learned from vacation eating for a week – the good, the bad, and the ugly. Work With Me Interested in working with me in a one-on-one setting?

Being overweight is not something that’s not talked about very much (or at all) in the running community. There seems to be some stigma around being a runner and being overweight. Like you’re not running enough, or you’re somehow doing it wrong if you’re training for a marathon and you’re overweight. I know exactly how this feels. In this episode, I’ll share why running is not a very effective tool for weight loss, and why you need to treat the underlying physical, mental, and emotional aspects of overeating if you really want to lose weight for good.

There are a lot of dieticians and weight loss coaches out there who preach the benefits of tracking your food. They suggest tracking every bite you eat, entering all of your food into an app each day, and then sticking to this routine for…basically…ever. I’m not a big fan of this approach for many reasons which I will share with you here on today’s podcast! Today on the Running Lean podcast, I answer the big burning question: should you be tracking your food? If no, why not? If yes, how should you do it?

It’s a new year and a time when a lot of people become ultra-focused on health, fitness, and losing weight. It’s also a time when a lot of people will try some new fad diet or a new exercise routine that promises instant weight loss with minimal effort. I’m definitely not going to do that here today since I’m a big fan of the slow and steady approach to losing weight.

There are basically two ways to approach any challenge. One way is to focus on all the reasons why you can’t do it. The other way is to focus on all the reasons why you can. I find it interesting that so many people choose option one when facing anything challenging in their life. They spend a lot of time and energy focusing on why they can’t do it. Today, talk about why you do this, how this kind of thinking is keeping you stuck, and how to stop arguing for your limitations. Work With Me Interested in working with me in a one-on-one setting?

Most people spend a great deal of time thinking about the past. They ruminate over things they did that they regret doing. They replay situations over and over and wish they’d handled things differently. They focus all of their energy on past events and spend zero time or energy on their future. This is a mistake. Why? Because you can’t change the past, it’s over and done with. But you can 100% change your future, so that’s a much better place to focus your energy. So this episode is all about remembering your future so you can make that future a reality. Work With Me Interested in working with me in a one-on-one setting?

If you want to accomplish a big goal, the key to getting there is consistency. You have to take aligned action and continue to take it over and over and over until you eventually reach that goal. The problem is, that most people don’t stick with something long enough to see the end result! They get off track somewhere along the way and usually end up staying off track. Getting off track is not the problem, we all do it, the real problem is not getting back on track. So today, it’s all about how to get back on track and how to stay there so you can actually crush those big goals. Work With Me Interested in working with me in a one-on-one setting?

Most people come up with all sorts of excuses, reasons, and stories for why they can’t accomplish something hard. You set out to lose weight so you change your diet but you eventually slip back into old habits and your new way of eating goes out the window. When you ask most people why they do this, that’s when all the excuses, reasons, and stories come into play. There’s a different way to approach all of this and in this episode, I’m going to show you the way. Most people think that the problem is “out there”, but when you accept that the problem is you, you can start accomplishing everything you want in your life.

It’s officially the Holiday Season and that means it’s time to gain a bunch of weight over the next 30 days and start the new year feeling like crap, right? I know it seems kinda crazy when I say that out loud, but the truth is, that’s the way most people do it. Most people gain quite a bit of weight during the holidays and then swear a solemn oath that they will get back on track in January. I’ve done this many, many, many times so I know exactly what this looks like. I also know how terrible it feels when January comes around and you have to lose a bunch of weight just to get back to where you were before Thanksgiving!

When it comes to diets and dietary advice, there is a lot of conflicting information out there.

One of the toughest things about losing weight and keeping it off for good is developing a healthy relationship with food. I work with runners every day who admittedly have a very unhealthy relationship with food. They overeat, they are constantly making unhealthy choices, and generally feel very out of control around food. If this sounds like you, rest assured there is nothing wrong with you, you’ve just developed some unhealthy thought patterns about food. So, one of the most beneficial things you can do for yourself is to begin to recognize and then start unraveling those unhealthy thought patterns. That’s what this episode is all about so stick around, I think you’ll find some very helpful tips throughout this podcast. Work With Me Interested in working with me in a one-on-one setting?

There’s a lot of confusing information out there about how runners should approach strength training. Some people say you should use very light weights and do a ton of reps so you don’t bulk up too much. Other people suggest lifting super heavy weights and doing fewer reps but that seems a little scary and not a very good choice for long-distance runners. So what’s the right answer for you? That’s what this episode is all about! In this episode, I will explain the difference between training for strength, power, and hypertrophy for runners. By the end of this episode, you will have a much clearer understanding of these different resistance training methodologies and how to do them correctly.

When it comes to running tough races, you eventually get to a point where it’s all mind over matter. Your legs hurt, you’re exhausted, and you just want to quit. This is when your emotional toughness game really has to be on point. You know you can physically keep going, but your emotional state is trying hard to convince you otherwise. This emotional toughness or emotional tolerance is also required when you want to do other tough things in your life like not eating pizza when everyone around you is eating pizza! So today’s podcast is all about increasing your emotional tolerance so you’re better armed to tough it out when things get tough (which they always seem to do!)

Have you ever caught yourself eating something that you know is bad for you, but you do it anyway? Have you ever changed your eating patterns for a period of time and then found yourself going back to the junk food you used to eat, even though you know you probably should steer clear of it? This was me for sure. I found myself going back for more of the junk food I used to eat, even after long periods of healthy eating.

No matter how hard we try to control all the circumstances of our lives, eventually, things get a little out of control. Your boss increases your workload, the kids are riddled with extracurricular activities (which means you are too), aging family members need constant care, and you start to feel overwhelmed with everything. Stress and anxiety levels increase until you’re sitting at DEFCON 1 and ready to explode. How you handle yourself during these times of intense stress is extremely important. Everyone’s good at stress management when there’s no stress! But when life gets hectic and feels overwhelming, that’s when you need to double down on self-care. Today, I’m sharing some very helpful advice on what NOT to do when life gets chaotic, and what you should do instead. Work With Me Interested in working with me in a one-on-one setting?

There have been some eye-opening discoveries recently around dietary advice doled out by influencers on social media. It turns out that the food and beverage industry has been paying registered dietitians to promote diet soda, sugar, and supplements on TikTok and Instagram. While this may not come as a big surprise, it speaks to a much bigger issue. The food industry is deliberately confusing us into eating more junk food so they can make more money – at the expense of our health and well-being. In this episode, I shine a light on this alarming topic, explain why it’s important to know who’s paying who to say what, and encourage you to take control of your own food choices.

There are a lot of metrics available to runners these days – pace, distance, time, V02 max, recovery advisor, race predictor, stress score, heart rate zones, lactate threshold, vertical oscillation, performance condition, and on and on… It can be confusing and overwhelming to even try to understand all of these metrics much less improve them. Today I want to take a look at a few key metrics and explain what they mean and how you might be able to improve them. The 3 key metrics you want to pay attention to as a runner are: VO2 max, lactate threshold, and running economy. I’ll explain what each of these is, how they affect you as an endurance athlete, and what you can do to improve them. Work With Me Interested in working with me in a one-on-one setting?

When it comes to losing weight, there are many, many approaches you can take – some of them will work while others definitely will not. Runners especially need to be mindful of their approach to weight loss because certain methods might help you lose weight but will impair your running performance in big ways. In this episode of the podcast, I go over 5 dieting disasters runners need to avoid if you want to lose weight without completely destroying your running performance. I’ll be talking about calorie-restrictive diets, the problem with the types of foods you might be turning to, carbohydrate management, overtraining, and one-size-fits-all approaches.

A LOT of people are addicted to, or have a troublesome relationship with, sugar. And a LOT of people I work with come to me because they want this problem solved once and for all. The problem is that most people don’t know how to break their sugar addiction and never get to a place where they can enjoy sugar in moderation. They continue their dysfunctional relationship, even though they know it’s doing them more harm than good. But wouldn’t it be great if you didn’t have such a messed up relationship with sugar? How would your life change if you no longer had that constant craving for sugar? How much weight could you lose? How much better would you feel physically, mentally, and emotionally? In this episode, I explain why sugar has such a powerful grip on us as humans and how you can take back control and break your addiction to sugar once and for all.

Lots of runners look pretty healthy on the outside. They exercise a lot, maintain a decent weight, have low body fat percentage, low BMI, and generally look fit. But inside there could be a lot more going on that no one really sees. I came across a study recently that looked at low-carbohydrate diets versus high-carbohydrate diets and their effects on athletic performance. The results are pretty interesting from a performance standpoint and also kind of surprising from a health perspective. Today, I look at what it means to be fit but unhealthy and what you can do to make sure you are both! Work With Me Interested in working with me in a one-on-one setting?

There’s a lot of confusion out there these days around carbs, especially in the endurance athlete community. Are carbs good? Are they bad? Do they have a place in our diet or should we avoid them altogether? I think you can probably guess my stance on this, especially from the title of this episode “Carbs Are Not the Enemy”. But if you are one of the many people who are confused about all the talk on whether carbs are good or bad, my goal today iis to help clear this all up for you. In this episode I’ll explain why carbs are not the enemy, but also why it might be a good idea to keep your carbs low most of the time.

If you are having a hard time sticking with a health and fitness routine, then you might want to have a look at your locus of control. Locus of control refers to where you believe your control lies – either outside of you or within you. People who have a strong external locus of control tend to have a very hard time sticking to a plan and accomplishing anything. On the other hand, people with a strong internal locus of control have an easier time sticking to a plan and are more successful in all areas of their lives. Today I’ll explain what locus of control is and how you can begin shifting your locus of control so you can get better results and live a healthier life.

Most people tend to be pretty motivated when they start something. You decide you want to lose weight so you change your diet, and for the first few weeks, maybe even a month or so, you are super motivated. You’re tracking your food, sticking to the plan perfectly, and feeling good about yourself. You think, “I am crushing this!” But then, over time, that motivation begins to fade. You stop tracking your food, you cheat on a few meals, and you longer feel motivated to keep going. This is the same reason why gyms are full in January and empty again in March. So today, I’m taking a look at why that motivation fades and what you can do to keep it going so you CAN actually crush your health and fitness goals.

I think we all know that eating too much sugar is not good for you. Excess sugar consumption has been linked to all sorts of metabolic dysfunction like high blood pressure, excess weight gain, insulin resistance, and diabetes just to name a few. So the solution is pretty simple – just moderate your sugar intake. But why is this so much easier in theory than in practice? Why is moderating sugar so difficult? Today I take a deep dive into why moderating sugar is so difficult and offer some practical tips to help you take control of your sugar cravings.

I’ve been doing a lot of research lately on human metabolism and I’ve noticed a lot of inconsistencies in the data available. There seem to be a lot of misconceptions about metabolism, especially when it comes to losing weight. So today I want to take some time to address some of the most common myths and misconceptions around metabolism. I did an entire episode on fixing your metabolism – episode 141 – so I won’t be rehashing all of that here today.

I work with a lot of runners who are awesome at sticking with their running plans. They get up early on Saturday mornings religiously, regardless of the weather outside. They do the required speed work every week, no matter what. They never miss a workout, even when they are sick and should probably take a day or two off. But when it comes to sticking to their diet so they can lose weight…it all seems to fall apart. Why is this? Why is it so easy for runners to stick to a difficult marathon training plan and so had to stick to a healthy eating plan?

A lot of people set out to lose weight and then quit. They change their diet, start exercising, and then at some point just throw up their hands and give up. This was definitely me and it was probably you at some point as well. While there are a lot of reasons why someone might give up on themselves, one of the most likely reasons is a serious lack of focus.

Over the last 100 years or so, we have become a society of pleasure-seekers and pain-avoiders. We do anything and everything to avoid what we perceive as painful and chase everything we deem pleasurable – even if it’s actually harmful to us. This is classic addictive behavior, especially when it comes to how we consume food and alcohol. But what are we really addicted to? Chocolate chip cookies? IPAs? Or is it something else? In this episode, I’m going to explain how dopamine might be the real culprit, help you decide if you might be addicted to dopamine, and offer up some tips to avoid getting sucked down the dopamine whirlpool.

If you’re anything like most runners, especially if you live in the US, this is most likely the off-season for you. You’ve completed your Spring races and you’re not quite into the next training cycle yet. Most runners approach this off-season as a time to live it up, eat and drink whatever, slack off on training, and “just have fun.” This was always my approach to the off-season, and I figured I would get back on track as soon as training started up again. The problem is that I ended up gaining weight and feeling like crap when training started again. So in this episode, I offer a better approach to the off-season, one that will have you feeling your best when you start training for that next big race.

Today I have a special treat for you, I’m sharing a candid conversation I recently had with Pete Caigan. Pete is one of my clients who has had a pretty remarkable transformation over the last 6 months or so. Before finding me, Pete was training for an ultramarathon and found himself gaining quite a bit of weight. He ended up getting a DNF (did not finish) at his first 50k attempt and was determined to try again and succeed. He shares his story of changing his diet, getting fat-adapted, losing weight, and attempting that same 50k again. I hope you enjoy this episode of ultramarathon redemption with Pete Caigan, his story is truly inspiring! Work With Me Interested in working with me in a one-on-one setting?
