    Today's topic aligns perfectly with the season theme of 'Redefine' as we explore today how focus reshapes our running experience. Did you know our attention span averages 8 seconds? Yes, that's a second shorter than a goldfish! So much for Ted Lasso's 'be a goldfish, Sam' pep talk after a blunder, right? We're all in the same boat, pulled by the allure of 'pretty things.' Our focus is a precious commodity, and we hold the reins on where it goes. If, like me, you're eager to find a solution to that persistent craving for another dopamine hit, stick around. What we really want is a quiet brain. A calm brain. Maybe physical exhaustion after a hard or long run is currently your ticket to finally feeling the calm settle in. So often we run to feel better physically and mentally but more often than not we return feeling disillusioned when the results of what we typically track (such as pace and distance) seem ‘blah'. We then feel frustrated and to top it off the mind still feels wired from the 2-3,000 thoughts we experienced during the hour we were running. Retrospectively, we noticed we had a difficult time connecting with the run. We need a solution to our TikTok brains. Ready? Click play.

    Another episode for your runner's ‘tool belt' to help you reduce your risk of injury and increase your joy of running physically and mentally. Today is all about the core and why understanding proper core engagement is so important. Before learning this I used to have achy hips ( not while running necessarily) but throughout the day especially in the morning. As a matter of fact at 40 I thought I needed hip replacements and I hadn't even started running yet. My chiropractor and PT both said it was hip bursitis and we looked for stretches to help alleviate the pain but it never went away. That is until I learned how to level my pelvis and engage my core because it reduced the extraneous motion I was making when walking and running.

    118: Running Isn't Therapy: Navigating Mental Health and Running with Sarah Strong

    In this episode, we're diving deep into the fusion of running and mental health therapy with a special guest, Sarah Strong. A mental health therapist and accomplished ultra runner, Sarah brings a unique perspective to the conversation. She aligns closely with my belief in self-compassion and embracing the joy of running. Sarah underscores the potent role running plays in bolstering mental wellness. The act of running triggers the release of endorphins, amplifies serotonin and dopamine levels, and even contributes to our physical health. Moreover, running serves as a canvas for processing complex emotions, aligning our mind and body, cultivating self-awareness, and honing stress management skills. Just as therapy challenges us to overcome mental barriers, running empowers us to believe in ourselves and realize our potential. However, it's crucial to discern that while running offers immense benefits for mental well-being, it's not a substitute for therapy. Sarah emphasizes this point, highlighting that therapy equips us with invaluable tools and guides us in reshaping our thought patterns. While running has numerous advantages, it can also amplify mental health challenges if approached inattentively. The release of stress hormones during running can be beneficial with proper rest, but adding stress to an already demanding situation can have counterproductive effects on mental health. Recognizing signs of burnout, stress, or emotional distress is pivotal. If you find yourself associating relaxation solely with exercise or experiencing negative emotions when skipping a workout, these signals might suggest the need for guidance from a mental health therapist. During our conversation, Sarah unveils the micro tools she shares with her clients to empower them to excel in races. Tune in to uncover these strategies that blend mental and physical wellness, setting the stage for success on your running journey.

    Today and next week, I'll be sharing an interview I conducted with nutrition coach Kellie Largay. Many of you may recognize Kellie from the Running Aligned Body and Mind Facebook community. Given my recent discussions about my personal struggles with body image and my newfound commitment to a formal nutrition plan and calorie tracking (refer to episodes 105 and 108), I couldn't be more excited to have Kellie join me. We dive deep into the world of nutrition, exploring it from a mindful perspective and discovering how we can nourish our bodies and minds as runners. Throughout this two-part interview, we address various topics such as debunking common misconceptions among runners, differentiating between weight loss goals and body composition goals, and understanding their potentially counterproductive effects. We also delve into strategies for striking a balance between nourishment and indulgence, managing stress and emotional eating, and developing a sustainable nutrition plan tailored specifically for runners. Join me for this insightful 2 part conversation with Kellie Largay!
