Transitions are inevitable in life. In this podcast, the Marathon Mind coaches share strategies for dealing with the difficulties we encounter with these transitions.

Your life is exactly how it's meant to be because that's how it has happened.

This week we sat down with our friend and fellow runner, Steve Kindred, to discuss what drives him as a runner and celebrated a recent racing victory. We really enjoyed hearing some male perspective. It's a bit longer than our usual podcasts, but you won't want to miss it. 

Run slow in order to get fast. This is probably one of the hardest truths for runners to embrace. In this podcast episode the Marathon Mind coaches discuss this concept and give you advice on how to make it work in your running life.

In this week's podcast we talk about the benefits of hiring a coach.

No matter what happens around you, it's your job to show up for yourself.

In this episode the coaches explain how we can maintain two seemingly opposing thoughts at one time. Your race can be both good and bad at the same time and it's healthy to think that way.

In today's podcast we take a deep dive into a recent race and look at the lessons learned by the Marathon Mind coaches. There is always a something new to learn, even when you are a coach.

There are so many lessons to be learned through running and most of them can be applied to life.

The truth of the matter is running is 50% awesome and 50% much less than awesome. We have good days and bad days, but it's all necessary and amazing and we're here for all of it.

Is perfectionism holding you back? It just may be. In this episode, the Marathon Mind coaches explore perfectionism so listeners can better identify it and overcome it in their lives.

Sometimes it can be difficult, but loving our bodies is so very, very important.

We often get caught in the trap that tells us that if we can't do it all the way, there's no use doing it. In this podcast we challenge that with the idea that something is always better than nothing,

Pain vs Suffering

Whether you run alone or with a group, it is up to you to decide how you show up.

In this podcast the Marathon Mind coaches explore the idea of failure and propose some new ways of thinking about failure in our own lives.

Destination vs Processing Goals

What does success as a runner look like to you? In this episode we explore the various definitions of success in running and discuss ways to make positive changes to those narratives.

Oh, the emotions our bodies and minds can experience after a race! In this episode the coaches talk about these emotions and offer some great advice on how to process them.

In running- and in life- we have ebbs and we have flows. We can learn to appreciate and use both.

Which thoughts should you allow and which thoughts should you let go?

We are excited to share this episode about the mind, body, and spirit connection. Find guidance on how to recognize and find moments when the three are in perfect harmony.
