What if the secret to becoming a better runner isn't running more?This week, Nicky sits down with coach John Ferry—Team Wilpers coach, Head Coach of New York City's Dashing Whippets Running Team, and lifelong student of the sport—to talk about why so many runners get stuck chasing the same results year after year.From marathon training and ultrarunning to track racing and 5Ks, John shares why the best athletes aren't always doing more—they're often doing something different. We discuss the dangers of living in a constant marathon cycle, the value of speed work, why the 5K might be the most underrated race in running, and how thoughtful season planning can unlock breakthroughs at any level.Along the way, we explore race-day mindset, finding your favorite kind of hard, the surprising power of relays and team competition, and why running should still be fun—even when you're taking it seriously.Whether you're training for your first race, chasing a PR, or wondering if it's time to shake things up, this conversation will leave you thinking differently about what progress really looks like.In this episode:Why more miles aren't always the answerThe marathon trap many runners fall intoHow speed work can make you a better distance runnerWhy the 5K deserves more respectMarathon vs. ultra: which is actually harder?Mental strategies for pushing through tough racesThe role of community, relays, and fun in long-term successBecause sometimes the fastest way forward is trying something new.

Send us Fan MailThey say that a game is well-officiated when you don't even notice the referees or umpires. I sure can't say that about this NBA Finals, where the officiating has been atrocious. But if you've ever run an ultramarathon, especially a multiday race, and didn't notice the timer, it might have been because that was Mike Melton of MCM Timing, the absolute best in the business. I inherited Mike for the American Heroes Run after David unexpectedly passed away less than four months before the race and I suddenly took up the mantle of race director, and boy, did I get lucky because Mike ensured that not only would the race not miss a beat in the transition, but I've had a partner ever since that has helped me maintain the highest quality in the race running smoothly, with accurate timing and results. Mike and his company have timed everything from 5Ks to many of the most significant ultras in North America, including the Barkley Marathons, Big's Backyard Ultra, Six Days in the Dome, Across the Years, the Keys 100, and many more. In fact, he is on the road in his Sprinter van that has 500,000 miles on it for 265 days a year. He has seen it all and has some great stories to tell here. In fact, so many that I have split this conversation into two parts. Mike also shares his origin story in the timing business and as a runner. Many might not know that Mike ran 171 miles in 72 hours at Across the Years, and has a very respectable 100-mile PR of 22:49. Mike also tells about how he and David connected for the very first American Heroes Run and how it led to the development of the software that Mike now uses for races that run laps.Mike MeltonFacebook Mike MeltonBill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @we_are_superman_podcastYouTube We Are Superman PodcastPlease consider donating to support Team Leadville and Boulder Crest to help end veteran suicide!  Donate, share, or just help spread the word to help end veteran suicide.

Send us Fan MailA lot of people think runners are born, not made. Carmela DiCostanzo-Corkel proves the opposite with a story that starts with a best friend in grade school, turns into half marathon training that felt impossible, and grows into a life built around movement, laughter, and showing up anyway. We talk about why running with someone you trust can be more powerful than any perfect plan, and how a finish line full of strangers cheering your name can change what you believe you're capable of. We also get real about what most of us learn late: hydration and fueling matter. Carmela shares the early days of long, hot runs with basically no water and no nutrition, then the major mindset shift that happened while training for Grand Canyon Rim to Rim to Rim. We dig into practical endurance basics like salt, electrolytes, carb timing, and why heat and humidity can wreck you if you ignore them. Then we jump into the most fun twist: the Run For Fun Cruise. Imagine traveling the world and running an organized 5K at every port, with bibs, a final medal, and a built in community of runners, walkers, and fast movers. We also cover strength training for runners, knee friendly habits after soccer injuries, and how signing up for events can keep you consistent when motivation fades. If you enjoy running, trail running, half marathons, 5Ks, and fitness over 50, hit subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a review so more people can find the show.www.runforfuncruise.com coaching highlights You can reach out to us at:https://coffeycrewcoaching.comemail: Carla@coffeycrewcoaching.com FB @ Over the Next Hill Fitness GroupIG  @coffeycrewcoaching.comand Buy Me a Coffeehttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/Carlauhttps://hydra-patch.com/discount/OTNH20https://hydra-patch.com/discount/OTNHBOGO?redirect=%2Fproducts%2Fhydrapatch%C2%AE https://rnwy.life code: OTNH15 https://jambar.com code: CARLA20

In this episode of the ZenRUN Podcast, I chat with the wonderful Ben Ridley - Perth runner, Delirious West athlete, self-declared road runner, proud husband of Karin Ridley, and possibly one of the most committed “super crew” members in the ultra-running world. Ben's story starts with a childhood full of sport - footy, swimming, surf lifesaving, T-ball, basketball - basically everything except running. Because running? Absolutely not. Ben grew up with chronic asthma, tricky knees, and a very strong dislike of running. But life has a funny way of circling back. After years of work, family life, health challenges, weight struggles, FIFO, mental health battles, and a major lifestyle shift, Ben and Karin found themselves at parkrun. And that changed everything. What started as a Saturday morning “why would anyone do this?” moment slowly became 5Ks, 10Ks, trails, half marathons, Feral Pig, Delirious West, 100 milers, 200 miler attempts, big DNFs, big lessons, big friendships, and a running life Ben never expected. This episode is funny, honest, emotional, and very Ben. We talk about weight loss surgery, running for mental health, the magic of parkrun, the chaos of Delirious West, crewing Karin, hallucinations, chafing, broken tyres, beers at aid stations, podcast-fuelled road running, and why community might be the greatest thing running has given him. Why You'll Love This Episode Ben shares: How he went from not being able to run a couple of hundred metres to becoming an ultra runner Why parkrun was the perfect no-pressure place to begin How he and Karin rebuilt their health together The reality of weight loss surgery - and why it was definitely not the “easy way out” His first 50K at Feral Pig and why he was “carrying on like a pork chop” halfway through His unforgettable Delirious West 100 miler finish with only 30 minutes to spare What it was like crewing Karin through her 200 miler after his own race ended The grief and emotion of losing his mum during Delirious Why DNFs hurt, but don't define you How running has become one of his biggest mental health tools Why he's currently loving road running, Melbourne Marathon training, and running into the MCG Why running with mates, coffee after parkrun, and pub run friendships matter so much Why Delirious still has baggage, but also still has a pull How he's heading back to Delirious with mates for the Great Southern Beer Run Tips From Ben Ben shared some really practical, honest advice for runners who are struggling to get out the door: 1. Find your reason why Don't just run because you “should.” Work out why it matters to you. Is it your mental health? Your fitness? Your friendships? A goal? A bit of space from life? That reason helps get you moving when motivation disappears. 2. Remember how you feel once you're out there Ben says the hardest part is often getting out the door. Once you're moving, things start to shift. Your head clears. Life feels a bit lighter. The run does what it came to do. 3. Use something that helps you get started For Ben, that might be a podcast, music, a book, or just being out on the trail listening to birds and trees. The point is simple: make the run easier to begin. 4. Run with people when you can Community has been huge for Ben. Parkrun, pub run, trail events, Ultra Series, coffee after runs - these people have become lifelong friends. Sometimes running is less about the running and more about who it brings into your life. 5. Walking counts Ben's reminder is simple and brilliant: Half an hour is better than nothing. If you can't run, walk. If you can't do the full plan, do something. It still matters. 6. Strength training helps Ben is a big believer in strength work for runners, especially if you want to keep running longer distances, reduce injury risk, and avoid the post-run “can't sit down on the toilet” situation. Very practical. Very true. A Beautiful Reminder From Ben's Story Ben's story is a reminder that running doesn't have to start perfectly. You don't need to grow up as “a runner.” You don't need to be fast. You don't need to have it all together. You can start with one parkrun. You can walk. You can struggle. You can DNF. You can come back. And somewhere along the way, running might become less about proving something - and more about finding your people, clearing your head, and becoming someone you never expected to be. Connect With Ben You'll most likely find Ben at parkrun, pub run, crewing Karin, running roads, signing up for something ridiculous with mates, or preparing for his next Delirious adventure. And if you see him at an aid station, he may remind you: You did choose to do this. Delirious WEST event Website - https://deliriouswest200miler.com.au/ Interested in the 2027 DW?

Send us Fan MailHildee Weiss didn't run her first full mile until she was 46. And honestly? She was convinced she'd look ridiculous doing it… like Phoebe from Friends, flailing around while everyone stared. (If you're Gen X, you already get it.)Fast forward 12 years and she's 57, a mom of five, a grandma of five, and she's done 5Ks, half marathons, trail races, two Spartan races… the whole thing. Not to shrink herself. Not to earn her food. Just because she gets to.We get into all of it: starting from zero in your 40s, finally walking away from the scale she called her "metal monster," lifting heavy after 50, and what it actually took to come back after a hysterectomy when she didn't even recognize herself anymore.If you've been telling yourself it's too late… I really want you to hear this one.

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast: Second Wind, we kick off our June series, Running MythBusters, by taking on one of the oldest and most ridiculous myths in the sport: the idea that there is a magical checklist we have to complete before we can call ourselves “real runners.” We break down the nonsense that says real runners have to be fast, never walk, look a certain way, run long distances, race every weekend, or love every single mile. Spoiler alert: myth busted. Whether we run, walk-run, race 5Ks, chase marathons, train on our own, or simply lace up for health, stress relief, or sanity, we belong in the running world. This episode pushes back on pace-shaming, walk-shaming, body assumptions, and the “just a 5K” mindset that makes people feel like their effort does not count. We also talk about why walking can be smart race management, why short distances still matter, and why a bib does not magically create the runner. At the heart of it all is a simple truth: running is not owned by the fast, the young, the thin, the elite, or the people in shoe ads. If we run, if we show up, if we keep moving forward, we are runners. Full stop.

In this episode the guys break down why almost everyone should do at least one cycle of powerlifting-style training, regardless of your goal. They cover why the squat, bench press and deadlift are the most underrated tools for building a great physique, how strength is the only objective metric that tells you everything is going right, why powerlifting programing beats bodybuilding programing for most people, and how focusing on strength is one of the best tools for getting people out of body dysmorphia.  They also get into Brian Johnson's perfect 100 sleep score streak on Eight Sleep and his girlfriend's vaginal microbiome flex, the four reported species of aliens now being covered by mainstream news, Justin's son qualifying for nationals in gymnastics, and the AP x Swatch collab that caused global pandemonium. Then they answer questions submitted through Instagram — covering MAPS phase adaptation, lighter weight training strategies, combining running and strength training, and the best rep range for one set to failure.

Your donors don't need a goodie bag, a raffle prize, an auction item, a t-shirt, or a chicken dinner. If your fundraising strategy is built around giving them something in order to get something back, that's the give-get model, and it might be exactly what's slowing your organization down.In this episode, I'm breaking down the difference between a real SPRINT™ campaign and an old-school fundraising method wrapped in new language. I talk about why events, raffles, auctions, and 5Ks aren't inherently bad, but why building your entire fundraising strategy around them adds friction, drains people's power, and quietly signals that you don't trust the mission to be enough on its own. If you've ever said, "Why don't we just do a raffle?", this episode is for you.Topics:What a SPRINT™campaign actually is, and what it isn'tWhy wrapping an old-school fundraiser in SPRINT™ language doesn't make it a sprintHow events add friction for donors and where the money gets lost in the processThe give-get mentality and why donors don't need to be bribed to giveQuestions to ask before choosing your next campaign vehicleWhy defaulting to events usually means you don't yet trust the ask, and what to do insteadFor a full list of links and resources mentioned in this episode, click here.Bloomerang is the complete donor, volunteer, and fundraising management solution that helps thousands of nonprofits deliver a better giving experience and create sustainable, thriving organizations.

Nico Young joins Jonathan Gault for a deep dive into his 2026 season outlook. The adidas-sponsored distance star reflects on a heartbreaking US indoor final where he missed the world team by a hundredth of a second, and reveals he's added a third workout per week to his training. Young announces a loaded European Diamond League slate, a 1500 in Stockholm, back-to-back 5Ks in Oslo and Paris, before making his road debut at the Peachtree Road Race on July 4th, where he'll try to become the first American winner (outside of years it served as the US Championships) since Ed Eyestone in 1991.

This episode is all about your vision for your practice, and how you can use it to propel growth and success. Tiff and Dana share how to create a vision that's true to you, how to get your team members bought in, how to set goals according to that vision, and so much more. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review The Dental A Team (00:00) Hello Dental A Team listeners. We are so excited to be here with you today. You know that the consultant takeover section here, I don't know if that's even still what we call it, but that's what we call it, Dana and I call it, because that's where OG status, know, like Donuts with Dana came on the other day. I was like, oh, I do miss Donuts. Anyways, we're here with you today, you guys. are, gosh, almost done with Q1 by the time this releases. It's wild. It's, you know, and I think we say this every year probably,   I know January every year we're like, this is the longest month of our lives. But then we get to the end of January, we're like, that went so fast. Where did the time go? And then from there, just doesn't stop. It just doesn't stop.   DAT-Dana (00:40) I know, feel like January   is 12 weeks long and then the rest of the year is like two.   The Dental A Team (00:43) Yeah, it's so   true. Yeah, especially February, which I know February is quote unquote a short month. But I'm like, does that two days seriously mean we lost two weeks? Because that's what it feels like. I don't understand it. Time, it's all relative, right? We just make it up anyways. So that's why. That's why, because we just make it up anyways. So Dana, we just recorded a really fun podcast. I actually really, really loved that one on overhead.   DAT-Dana (00:57) Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah.   The Dental A Team (01:13) listen to that one yet about why not to cut your team members. Go listen to that too. You don't have to listen to it first. You don't have listen to it today. I don't care. Just listen to it sometime. But I think that it really actually coincides really well with this podcast topic that we're talking about today as well. And on a side note to all of you listeners out there, if you ever have podcast topics, things that you want to hear about, please let us know. You guys, we create these. Actually, our marketing company creates these based on like,   what's relevant in the dental industry right now, but you know, Kiera does a ton of podcasts. We do a ton of podcasts. We're always really happy to add things in that you feel you're seeing in your practice, because if you're seeing it, the likelihood is that other people are seeing it as well. And that's why we focus so heavily at the Dental A Team on community, because we really want you guys talking to each other. So that includes this. That's my little plug for Please Send Us Ideas. Thank you. Thank you.   ⁓ But this one, this one's fun too. I think we do, honestly we do a lot of really fun things at the Dental A Team. ⁓ I think, I mentioned it on the last one, but Dana I think for me at least, focusing on the people first actually really, really drives me. It makes me feel like we're in we're in a stale business sometimes, you know? Like it's.   ever-changing, dentistry grows and it changes, but kind of not at the same time. It's kind of also stale, especially when it comes to team members.   DAT-Dana (02:41) And then it makes no teeth, right?   And so it can only expand and grow so much and sure, has it made leaps and bounds? Absolutely. But again, it is still teeth and the business of dentistry.   The Dental A Team (02:48) Yeah.   I agree. So I think adding in that human side of it, the people side, gives us purpose. And I think probably in any business, right, I think Aaron's a financial advisor and if he didn't, he loves the people aspect of it. He really, he became a financial advisor to help people grow their finances, to help people retire successfully and he loves nothing more than being able to help someone see that path.   And I know not all advisors are that way and not all consultants, dental consultants are that way, but I think that purpose driven piece is what separates any business from the other ones. Yeah.   DAT-Dana (03:34) Yeah, and I think   at the of the day, it's people taking care of other people. And so it is a people industry. I think we always think of it as, it's healthcare, right, for sure. But it really is people taking care of people, so.   The Dental A Team (03:46) Yeah, yeah, good point. All right, well that's our philosophical piece. I loved it. And on that same vein though, that same note is really, ⁓ today we want to talk about vision-driven growth. And I think to me, Dana, when I saw this topic, I thought vision-driven growth, Realistically, it's just like, for me, it's having the map. It's kind like a treasure hunt.   DAT-Dana (03:50) Okay.   The Dental A Team (04:12) I feel like and it's having the map with that X on it, then I can say, okay, this is how I'm going to get there. And I think when we think of growth and in dentistry, I think 10 years ago, 15 years ago, growth was seven to 10 % every year. And like getting that new thing, like my growth this year is gonna be I'm gonna get a new Pano machine or I'm gonna add an operatory or I'm going to, it was like very physical.   And I think now, vision-driven growth, I think now what we're noticing and seeing is that we're dreaming more and we're applying that vision-driven growth, meaning this is what I'm gonna do, this is the physical of what needs to happen because I want to see this thing come to fruition. And that vision of, typically it's like an impact-driven vision, right? Like what was I put on this earth to do? What is my purpose and how is my business serving that purpose?   The reason that I like that so much better than just the physical piece of it is because Dana, think as a team member, I remember sitting there and being like, cool, 2.5 sounds great, but it doesn't mean anything to me. Like 2.5, 3 million. I remember when our goal was like, we started at 1.2, and I remember the year that we were like, 3.5. And I was like, this is weird, but like, I don't even know. I literally can't even fathom what $3.5 million looks like.   Right, it literally meant nothing to me. So nothing about my drive or how I showed up changed. I was just like, okay, cool. So now our goal is this and we schedule enough to reach that goal. That sounds great. But I think Dana when it's like, we wanna reach for us, we wanna reach this many practices, we wanna reach this many people. It just makes such a big difference. So I think, I don't know from a team member standpoint,   I don't, I can't get on board with this stale goal.   DAT-Dana (06:16) to know why I'm doing what I'm doing every single day, right? I have to like, as a team member, those are always questions that like, like, why do we want to get there? Why do we need to get there? What does getting there do for us? What does getting there mean we serve? Like, those are the things that I think team members ask. And so I think practices that lead with a vision and look at the vision for the growth, like you get team members bought in, you get team members understanding and wanting to be a part of it, it makes   So many things easier to it makes hard conversations easier, right? Because it doesn't align with the vision It makes growth conversations so much easier and oftentimes think about like, you know I'm always looking at like the physical fitness space, right? Because that's super important to me. And so if I can sit here and say like well, I want to get stronger this year Great, but what what do I mean by that? Why do I want to do that? like do I want to do that because if I know that I want to do that because   I don't know, I want to race my kid down the street and I want to be faster or I want to be able to just like be there for them forever or I want to not have joint pain or whatever it is that like, why do I want to get stronger? I'm so much more intuitive in like the pieces that I do to get there. If I know that like I don't want my joints to hurt, then the exercises that I pick are going to look very, very different than like, if I want to be the fastest mom in the neighborhood.   right? Well, I do to be the fastest mom in the neighborhood looks very different than if I'm just looking at my joints, right? Because I probably am not going to be running a ton if it's my choice that are and why I want to be there. So I think like when you have a vision and when you know why it also helps you map your roadmap out to be much more clear and and have team members that are just much more bought in because they know why we're doing that they know what   The Dental A Team (07:40) Mm-hmm.   Fair.   DAT-Dana (08:07) we're going to get out of doing that. Whether it's we get to now treat a thousand more patients, whether it is we get to bring in another doctor, whether it is we get to bring on new team members that we get to connect with.   The Dental A Team (08:19) Yeah, I totally agree. I love the fitness aspect because it's so easily relatable. think for anyone, whether you're into fitness or not, it's an easy, tangible piece to relate to. ⁓ And I think with that, it's like you set your goal, right? And then you work backwards. Same with your vision driven goal. Like my goal was always when Brody was little, I remember the day that I was like, I will not huff up these stairs anymore. I will not tell my kid we got to play later because I'm tired.   ever again. Like this is not okay. And so, and it wasn't even just the weight loss. wasn't like, it was literally just being physically fit enough that I could keep up with my kid was my goal. And then they grow up and they're 17 and you got to find a new reason. But then you're like, I'm going to be able to walk in 20 years. Like I, know, it changes and it shifts and it morphs. And with that, so does your business.   vision, like it's gonna change, it's gonna grow, it's gonna morph and what you start out as of like I'm gonna be, you're gonna have a really cheesy one. You're gonna be like I'm gonna be the best dentist in my community and people are gonna love coming to my office, right? And then it's gonna be I'm gonna change so many lives in my community that people have the best smile around and they're constantly raving about how their life has improved because their smile has improved.   That's how you're gonna get people at your office. Like that vision, awesome. That is your vision. Now how do we apply to that? How do I get the people to my practice that I need to change the smile, that they're gonna change their lives? Like what kind of avatar does that look like? And that's the now you work backwards because you saw this beautiful vision of the impact that you're gonna make on the people that are coming to your office. I have this, she's not even in my office, but I have this doctor that I've talked to a few times   We've realized that her impact is this space that she's able to give her patients while they're in her chair. She attracts beautiful humans that are just a little afraid to be in this chair. And she just has this aura about her that she sits down and she's with them and she makes them comfortable just by being there and giving them the space.   That's her vision. that's like, if you think about that as like, okay, well, how do I apply that? You work backwards from there, but I think Dana, those are the pieces where when your team comes around and they're like, my gosh, these patients who are afraid to come to the dentist, leave that chair excited and happy to get their treatment done. I have changed someone's perspective and view on dentistry that they are going to be healthier when they leave my practice than when they walk through those doors.   That's massive. My best dental memory is the, I talk about her all the time. And I still, chat with her son on Instagram. He's like a dad and he's like 30 or something now. I'm like, how is this possible? Because he was like seven, but she did a smile makeover. And I remember prior to that appointment, she was so sweet and I loved her, but she was quiet and meek and like.   Mousy hair like literally I can't describe it any other way just like a mousy always wearing brown Kind of like hunched over a little bit just not standing tall in herself recently divorced she had her son who was phenomenal and he loved her so much and I loved her and then she decided to do literally like smile to smile she did 12 units and The day she came back in with like for her her   final check, know, Dana, that changed my perspective of dentistry. This woman came on with highlights in her hair. She was wearing heels, she was wearing colors. And I was like, who are you? She was smiling ear to ear. And I've known her now. I mean, I was, I'm almost 41. I was maybe 20, maybe 21 when this happened. So for 20 years, I've watched this woman be this strong, independent human. And I'm like, I don't   It was her smile. Those are the things Dana that I think you're talking about, that it's like, I can get on board with that. I can get on ⁓ as a team member. I can work my tail off to see something like that come to fruition.   DAT-Dana (12:46) Yeah, yeah, and I think like I have a story similar to that right where it was like I don't do job interviews because they don't like to like a completely new career new person new human new life because they were able to go on job interviews and get you know a position they never ever thought that they would right which then financially changed their means which totally changed their life and I think that I think sometimes because   I think we were talking about earlier, right? Dentistry can get a little bit stale. I think we forget as team members. I think even dentists forget, like we're doing truly incredible things every day. And I know is the filling always going to make a massive difference? No, but there's going to be a patient that comes through your office. There's going to be several patients. And you may never even know.   Impact you you never you may never even see the 20 years later, right? You may not see the new highlights and the new confidence But what you're doing is so so important Even if it is making somebody comfortable enough to come in sit down and have that feeling right because you don't know if that was the difference in them Having the feeling or eventually being a denture list because they were so afraid to get in a chair, right? Which is just we're gonna change someone's difference and they say this all the time when I'm in person with   with teams is like the things that you are doing day in and day out. Well, sometimes they can feel mundane, right? Turning over room after room after room. Well, sometimes that can feel a little bit stale. Like the reason you're doing it and the things that you can change in someone, in yourselves, in your team, like it's...   amazing. And I think we forget that so often because it is just the burn and turn of it. But I think when we can think about that, and we can picture what we want, and then we can take what we want and even bring it down to as finite as I've had a vision with a team that like it's what got us our new patient goal. And as silly as that sounds, it's when you break it down like that. And when you know why, and when you know what you're targeting for, it makes it so simple. It does.   The Dental A Team (14:51) It   does. I totally agree. That vision gives you the growth. I think that vision, ⁓ and like we said, it will morph and it will change. You will probably, on some semblance, the same grounding, the same baseline. And you're going to grow on top of that. And, Dana, I think to your point, it's like, this is what people get on board with. And I had a doctor last week on one of our calls. She said,   We've got a front office team member, one front office team member that's rocking it out in stellar, one front office team member that's like hit or miss and inconsistent. And she's like, the one that's just killing it, she believes in it. She gets it, she's got it. Like treatment is easy to sell. She just gets it. She's with it. The other one, how do I get her to get it? And I said, you don't get her to get it. You get her to understand why you're doing what you do.   And if she can believe in that and she can hop on board with that vision, now she's inspired to do what she should be doing to reach that goal. And Dana, I know you do this too. Like so often we get asked by team or by doctors, how do I motivate my team? Do I give them more money? How do I motivate my team to do this? And I tell people all the time, you, motivation is short-lived, right? And back to the fitness.   I can be motivated to run a 5K. I'm not inspired. Inspiration is being healthy enough that I can always run 5Ks with my kid. That's my inspiration. Brody and I, not consistently, not always. When he was little, we used to run 5Ks together. this year, we decided he's going to be 18 soon. We were like, we're going to do a freaking 5K again, at least one 5K again together this year. That's inspiring.   But motivation is like, I can run a 5K, that's my motivation. So motivation being, okay, you get a $200 bonus if you do this thing. Cool, they're gonna do that thing, get that bonus, and then they're gonna slide right back to where they were before. But the inspiration of knowing this why and this vision is where I think Dana actually goes back to right person, right seat. And if you don't believe in the vision of a company,   Well, you're not going to stay with the company. We can think of it, think, again, we just make dentistry different. Dentistry has to be its own type of business. It's like, can't we just? Business is business. And when we think of tech companies, somebody who doesn't believe in the vision of Elon Musk is not going to work for Tesla on a mass scale, or they're not going to be there for a long time. But if you can be in alignment with his vision of what he's creating in this world,   You're going be inspired to work there. So I think, Dana, that just blows my mind, number one. But I think that's kind of what we're saying. What's that overarching vision of the actual thing that you're doing for the world that people can get on board with?   DAT-Dana (18:00) Yeah, and I think that like you touch on it a little bit Tiff, but it's like doctors sometimes, you know, we'll create visions and I'm like, Okay, well, why did you choose this? Or why did you and sometimes it is well, it sounded good. I thought it would motivate the team if it doesn't inspire you, it will never inspire them. So please, when you're looking at your vision to great to grow up like you have to do this day in and day out to and if you if it doesn't inspire you, if it doesn't motivate you, if it doesn't make you want to get up in the morning and get to that office, it will never do that for   your team. please, when just like a caveat to this is when you're looking to make it mean something, make it mean something, it has to inspire you because you have to be the one that shows up every day and lives it that the team is going to look at and say, like, they're so inspired. So am I, right? That's what motivates teams.   The Dental A Team (18:51) I love that Dana, that was massive. And if you did not hear all of those words, rewind, replay, and listen to that again, because you're spot on. So many visions are created to attract the right patients, attract the right team, to motivate people to come to you. The vision is like an attraction method.   And what is attractive is a vision that inspires you as a human and you living in that authenticity of your vision. That's what attracts people and that's what attracts the right people to you. And that's how you can continue to see that growth and see that growth through. was so good, Dana. You pulled that out beautifully. Nice job. You guys, I mean, we could sit here and motivate you.   All day long, I tell my doctors that all the time. I can motivate you to do anything that I want you to do. I'm telling you that right now. We are really good at that. I can motivate you to do just about anything. I cannot inspire you. This is the inspiration here. We are inspiring you to go find your inspiration. Inspiration comes from within. That is inside of you. It is not something I can gift you. I can motivate you and I can give you some inspiration to go do it.   but that long lived inspired feeling, that's your vision. And vision driven growth is sustainable. Non vision driven growth is insustainable. It won't last, it won't work forever. You're gonna be burnt out, you're gonna be exhausted. And one day you're gonna be calling the dental team saying that you hate dentistry and you need to find your love for dentistry again. This is how you do it, okay?   So Dana, think their biggest takeaway ⁓ action item today is to go revisit your vision and take a look at it and sit with it and think, how does this inspire me to get up and love my job every day like Dana just said to you? And how do I translate this in words that make sense to the team? Dana, what do you, with that action item, what's your number one way   or a number one action item that you give to doctors when you're telling them go do your vision.   DAT-Dana (21:12) It's truly just like, why did you start your practice? Why dentistry? Why do you choose to come and take care of patients every single day? And then what do you, what and how do you intend on serving?   The Dental A Team (21:29) Yeah, I love that. Thank you. Thank you. ⁓ Dentistry is your what? That's your vehicle. Your why is why did you decide to use this vehicle? It doesn't have to be because you love the nearest and you're awesome at them or anything like that. It's because you wanted to make people happy or you wanted to like, what is that emotionally driven? Like Dana said, what's that piece? All right, guys, go do the thing. Don't overcomplicate it. Okay, you're going to change it a million times. You're going to write it right now.   And then in two days later, you're gonna be like, it's not right, it's not sitting right. And in a year, you're be like, no, this isn't right. That's okay, that's what it's like to be human. So go do it. If you need help, Hello@TheDentalATeam.com.

In today's episode, RUNWITHALLI LIVE host Alli sits down with professional distance runner Katie Izzo, a 3x Team USA Cross Country athlete (2023, 2024, 2026) and recent 2nd place finisher at the U.S. Cross Country Championships to talk about what it really takes to rise through the ranks and compete at the highest level.From her standout NCAA career at the University of Arkansas where she finished 3rd at NCAA Cross Country Championships, helped secure a national team title, and ran one of the fastest indoor 5Ks in collegiate history to now building her professional career in Flagstaff, Katie shares what it means to pursue your full potential with intention, grit, and consistency.But this episode isn't just for elite runners. It's for YOU. The everyday runner balancing life, work, and training, looking to get better, stay consistent, and show up with purpose.In this episode, we cover:How Katie first got into running, and when she knew it could be something specialThe moment things “clicked” in her career (and what that actually looked like behind the scenes)Mindset shifts that help her stay consistent at the highest levelOne underrated training element that can make or break your PRWhat road runners can learn from cross country when it comes to strength + durabilityWhy hills, trails, and uneven terrain might be your secret weaponWhat it felt like to earn her spot on Team USA (again!) and key lessons from that raceHow her definition of success has evolved over timeAdvice for runners feeling nervous before a big raceWhy she said YES to coming on the RUNWITHALLI® LIVE podcastOne BIG takeaway is how success isn't about perfect training. It's about stacking consistent days (& recovery ones, too) while building strength in ways most runners don't! Katie's journey proves that durability, mindset, and trusting YOUR process are what separate the good from the great! Katie is one of the first people who welcomed me to San Diego after I reached out to her to go for a run (yes, I KNOW! That was bold!). She kindly said yes without hesitation, shared her favorite running spots around the city that I was unfamiliar with, and made me feel more at ease in a place that felt very unknown to me.I am forever grateful. I also might've convinced her to join my post-run candy addiction, sharing gummies and Parakeet Cafe smoothies before parting ways. It was such a fun way to share miles with an incredible athlete who is not only a bada$$ runner, but also a genuinely kind human.I'm so lucky to bring you this conversation on the pod today! If you're chasing a PR, navigating a busy life, or simply trying to become a stronger, more confident runner, this conversation is for YOU!Subscribe to RUNWITHALLI® LIVE so you never miss an episode!Share this episode with a training partner who needs to hear it!Connect with Katie Izzo:InstagramAnd take ONE thing from this episode and apply it to your next run.Thank you for being here.

Building community through experiences Tradition is a big part of medical school–med students willingly tie themselves to comedy shows, charity 5Ks, and yearly ceremonies when they’re already drowning in anatomy and mechanisms of health and disease. This episode pulls back the curtain on the weird, wonderful, and occasionally dark traditions that make medical school way more than just textbooks and exams. M2s Riley Dean and Megan Perry, M3 Fallon Jung, and M1 Isa Perez-Sandi, along with special guest Nit Anantharaman from Pitt Med reveal the traditions that bind students and their schools. Med school comedy shows like CCOM’s Frolics and Pitt’s Scope and Scalpel sketch nights to medical student philanthropy events that involve bench-pressing competitions and 5Ks. Then there are the ceremonies that honor body donors, match day medical school chaos complete with secret envelopes and mystery themes, and how medical student community building happens through shared misery and ridiculous inside jokes. This is real talk about how these medical education rituals create the bonds that get you through the hard experiences, why medical humanities writing contests and art shows matter more than you’d think, and honest insights into med student life. Plus, the hosts take a pop quiz about worldwide med school traditions (French cave blindfolding, anyone?) that’ll make you appreciate your own school’s quirks. Whether you’re navigating pre-med student life or already deep in the weeds of medical training, you’ll walk away understanding why these seemingly random traditions aren’t just fun—they’re survival mechanisms that transform classmates into lifelong colleagues.

Are you successful on paper but restless underneath? Have you reached midlife (40, 50, or in your 60's) and your realized something feels slightly "off." Not broken. Not dramatic. Just…stuck. What if the restlessness you're feeling right now isn't a problem… but a signal that your next chapter is calling? This week's episode of the IMPACT SHOW Podcast is POWERFUL and DEEP. I sit down with a dear friend of mine, Bobby Kelly. I've known Bobby for over 20 years, and let me tell you—this guy is one of the most passionate, authentic, and no-nonsense coaches I know. Bobby has spent more than three decades helping people transform their lives—physically and mentally—and now he's on a mission to help people reinvent themselves and step boldly into their next chapter. Bobby just released a powerful new book called "The Next Chapter Starts Now—A Playbook for Reinvention, Renewal, & Real Life Progress" and in this conversation he shares the real framework he's used to help high performers navigate major life transitions. This isn't just another motivational pep talk. It's about building structure, asking the hard questions, and creating the clarity needed to move forward when life feels stuck or misaligned. If you've ever found yourself asking, "Is this it?" or "What's next for me?" or "How do I change direction without blowing up my life?"—this episode is for you. Bobby drops some serious wisdom and practical tools that will help you rethink where you are and start designing where you want to go next. In this episode, we talk about: • Why motivation is a terrible long-term strategy and what actually creates lasting change. • The difference between being successful vs. truly aligned in your life and career. • How to know when you're experiencing burnout… or simply outgrowing your environment. • Why that feeling of restlessness might actually be a signal that growth is calling. • The power of asking the right questions to create clarity and momentum. • Why your environment and the people around you play a huge role in the next level of your life. • Bobby's incredible story about how his coaching style even helped President George W. Bush run one of his fastest treadmill 5Ks. • The importance of structure, discipline, and micro-wins when creating your next chapter. • Real-life stories of people who have made powerful life pivots at 40, 50, 60 and beyond. My friends, here's the truth: your next chapter isn't something that magically appears one day. It's something you decide to step into. If something inside you has been nudging you lately… if you feel that pull that there's more for your life, your purpose, and your impact—this conversation is going to light a fire in you. Take a listen, soak up the wisdom Bobby shares, and start asking yourself the big question: What does my next chapter look like?

What if the race you're avoiding is the one that unlocks your marathon speed?Most marathoners avoid 5Ks during a marathon build because they're scared it will wreck their long runs or mess up their aerobic base 5K Marathon. In this episode, I break down why that belief is holding you back, what speed endurance actually is, and how short races can make you stronger late in the marathon without blowing up your plan. I explain why racing teaches you to hold pace when you're tired, how it builds mental toughness you can't fake on easy miles, and how to plug 5Ks into your training in a smart, low-risk way. If you want to stop fading at mile 20 and start finishing strong, this gives you the framework to do it.Key TakeawaysShort races build the strength you can't get from easy runs: Running comfortable miles won't prepare you to hold pace when you're exhausted 5K Marathon. A 5K trains your body to stay strong under fatigue.Racing teaches skills beyond fitness: You practice pacing, nerves, fueling, and race-day routines in a low-pressure setting 5K Marathon. That experience pays off when the marathon matters most.You can add 5Ks without hurting marathon training: When placed in the right weeks, they sharpen fitness instead of draining it 5K Marathon. The result is better speed and stronger finishes.Timestamps[00:32] What You'll Learn[01:10] Why 5K Helps The Marathon[02:09] Use This Marathon Training Plan To Schedule 5Ks Right[02:38] Lactate Tolerance Training[03:37] Use This One Thing To Stop Getting INjured[05:28] What Did Brenton Actually Do?[06:53] Use This To Run A Faster Marathon & 5KLinks & Learnings

Let us know with a quick text!Podcast host Alison interviews Travis, a veteran whose running story spans childhood trauma, military service, alcoholism, sobriety, and ultra-distance racing.Travis describes hating running in high school, escaping an abusive home by joining the Marine Corps in 1997, developing a heavy drinking habit, later joining the Army Reserve in 2006, and seeking help in 2014 because he feared dying.After getting sober, deployments and a 2017 convoy crash in Germany revealed health issues, prompting him to start running, progressing quickly from 5Ks to marathons, 50 milers, and 100 milers.He became focused on multi-day, unsupported “journey runs,” especially the Fool's Ultra (now 420 miles across New York), his favorite race.He shares lessons on belonging, consistency, embracing discomfort, planning resupplies and sleep, safety gear for dark runs, shoes, fueling, recovery, music, a key injury perseverance story, a 160-mile DNF at Infinitus 250, advice to start simple and volunteer, his mantra “you've been through worse,” and future goals after a 2026 deployment.Travis McCalla - https://www.facebook.com/travis.mccalla1Races MentionedThe Fool's Ultra 420Infinitus 250Battleship 12kArizona Monster 300Coca Dona 250Shout OutsJoshua SwankChristieAndy WeinbergSupport the showFor more details on Run Your Story happenings, visit https://runyourstory.com/For web development or tech services, visit https://gaillardts.com/Go Run Your Story and take a piece of this story with you!

“If you put more work in, you will see the results.” But how much is enough?In this inspiring episode of The Runna Podcast, Coach Anya sits down with 2:17 marathoner and content creator Hugo Fry - serious about speed, but not about himself. From lockdown 5Ks to becoming one of the UK's fastest sub-elite marathoners, Hugo reveals his training secrets around sleep, fuelling, and the ‘delusional self-confidence' that keeps him pushing forward. Plus, hear how he broke Guinness World Records dressed as Super Mario and Santa! A self-confessed running addict, Hugo credits his rapid rise to one thing: he genuinely loves the process. Now building towards Boston and chasing 2:15, Hugo explains why balance isn't constant - sometimes you have to go all in. But long-term improvement isn't built on intensity alone - it's built on consistency, commitment, and protecting the joy that keeps you coming back.Highlights include:

Like the episode? Let us know with a quick text!In this conversation, Allison interviews Selena, a runner and the race director of Run the Rainbow, a multi-distance race event in Jackson, Mississippi that benefits the state's only children's hospital.Selena shares how she began running in her early 30s as a personal goal, progressed from 5Ks to marathons, and grew passionate about the running community.She discusses taking on trail running at longer distances, including a goal sequence with the local Muts Group (Frosty 15, Big Butts 50K, Clear Creek 50K) and an attempt at her first 100-miler (reaching 100K but missing the cutoff), with plans to complete a 100-miler and earn “Big Dog” status this year after a back issue affected her last attempt.Selena explains that Run the Rainbow started after the hospital's former 5K ended during COVID; she expanded it from 5K/10K/half to include a full marathon and a new 50K, with an earlier start option for slower runners and a commitment to supporting participants through the final finisher.She details that all proceeds support children's hospital needs not covered by standard funding, citing examples like patient iPads, specialized playground space, NICU “angel eyes,” transportation gaps, and hopes to add another trained facility dog like "Hollywood."She highlights Run the Rainbow's challenging hills, frequent aid stations and entertainment (including bands and mile-by-mile encouragement), safety planning with Capitol Police, JPD, and campus police, a course feature that includes passing a castle, and an after-party.Selena also describes the event's swag structure (shirts, kid-designed medals, towels, cups, hats/beanies, quarter-zips, and affordable donation-based expo items) and a new educational panel featuring a dietitian (Elizabeth), trainer Megan Cook, and runner Chuck Engle.Selena Daniel - https://www.facebook.com/selena.lockwoodRaces MentionedRun the RainbowFrosty 15Fondren 50kBig Butts 50kClear Creek 50kMamba 100-milerRocket City MarathonShout OutsMuts GroupDina BoylesJames BoerJeremy JunglingRunStrongHollywoodDanaPothole RunnersJackson Run ClubElizabethMegan CookChuck EngleDina BullsSupport the showFor more details on Run Your Story happenings, visit https://runyourstory.com/For web development or tech services, visit https://gaillardts.com/Go Run Your Story and take a piece of this story with you!

What if every step you took felt like a small miracle you could share? That's the energy running through this episode as we move from Princess Weekend prep into one of the most inspiring stories we've ever hosted. We kick things off with training touchpoints, expo strategy, and course notes for the Run Disney Princess 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon—plus our meetup details, virtual queue tips, and the can't-miss Main Street moment for first-timers. If you're mapping out corrals, merch runs, or yoga logistics, we've got your plan.Then we sit down with Amanda Ferrin—The Walking Miracle—whose life with a rare autoimmune disease didn't end her story; it sharpened it. Amanda shares how a spontaneous 7K in Denver led to a last-minute Disneyland 10K, a Dopey bib through charity, and a season of marathons from London to New York. She explains scleroderma's impact with honesty and warmth, talks about living with constant pain, and how moving—often dancing—through miles brings relief, dopamine, and community. Her signature sequin jacket isn't a costume; it's a choice to celebrate every day she gets.This conversation holds more than race talk. When Amanda needed specialized surgery and IV antibiotic therapy, the runDisney community rallied overnight to fund it—turning hope into action and a bill into a lifeline. We hear what recovery looks like now, the races she's eyeing next (Rome, Paris, London, and the New York City Half), and why joy, presence, and kindness matter more than pace. Along the way, we share a polished Princess Weekend guide—expo hours, Brooks drops, transport windows, photo tips—and a lively Race Report packed with PRs, scenic routes, runway 5Ks, and hot chocolate finishes.Subscribe for weekly stories, race guides, and real talk from a community that runs on heart.

Lena Milligan's first marathon came after years of rebuilding her relationship with movement. After a childhood spent as a competitive swimmer, Lena moved through seasons of overexercising, underfueling, injury, and anorexia recovery that forced her to step away from running entirely.In this episode, Lena shares how she slowly found her way back through walking, 5Ks, trail races, half marathons, and eventually the marathon start line. We talk about learning how to fuel without fear, distance dysmorphia, bad long runs, trusting your body again, and why being tired from something you love can feel like a privilege instead of a punishment.Follow along with the show: Personal IG/TikTok: @tay.says / @taysays Podcast IG/TikTok: @myfirstmarathonpod YouTube: @MyFirstMarathonPodcast Website & extras: myfirstmarathon.co & myfirstmarathon.co/resources

Why do so many runners train hard… yet never feel fully fit on race day?In this episode, we break down periodisation — the structured way of organising your training into phases so you don't have to do every workout, every week, all the time.Whether you're following a 16–20 week training plan or building fitness year-round, understanding training cycles can be the difference between steady progress and constant fatigue, injury, or burnout.We cover:What periodisation actually means (in plain English)How training phases work and why each one mattersWhen to focus on endurance, speed, strength, and recoveryWhy doing “everything at once” stalls progressHow structured variety helps prevent plateaus and injuriesHow to time peak fitness for race dayThis episode is ideal for runners training for 5Ks, half marathons, marathons, or anyone who wants to train with more purpose and less guesswork.

I am very excited about this episode because I am, for the first time ever, joined by ROCS colleagues Sage and Piper!

Piper shares her start at ROCS straight out of college, including a first day unlike any other, which turned into an unexpected bonding experience with the team. Both of them offer thoughtful advice for recent grads, highlighting the value of being coachable, flexible, and open to feedback in shaping your career. We also reflect on the team's wins and milestones over the year, from hitting starts goals and celebrating promotions to bringing on new hires and coordinating team incentives. We recount some of the fun and sometimes chaotic moments like a soaked 5K race, March Madness bracket victories, and memorable team outings including baseball games and holiday gift drops for kids in the community. I even share my own year-end highlight of baking 250 cookies for a client's site, which, despite being exhausting, was incredibly rewarding. Alongside work accomplishments, we celebrate personal milestones: baby showers, anniversaries, and festive gatherings that brought the team closer together. This special episode also gives you a peek into our quirks and traditions. We wrap the year with reflections on goals, holiday festivities, and plans for 2026, from staying motivated in recruiting to slowing down personally, going on new adventures, and stepping into the new year with confidence, so if you have ever wondered what a year at ROCS Grad Staffing looks like through the eyes of our team, you'll be sure to enjoy this episode!

A little Christmas magic meets marathon grit. We open with holiday cheer, community thanks, and a few playful ideas—from telethons to extra-big meetup cookies—before diving into a rewind that still gives us goosebumps: the Walt Disney World Marathon story of first-time marathoner and champion, Stephanie Muscat.Stephanie's path started in the pool. Years of swimming turned into tentative laps on an indoor track, then into local 5Ks and half marathons that built confidence. She explains why runDisney hooked her—the DJs at 3 a.m., the pre-start electricity, and the promise of sprinting past Spaceship Earth—and why Disney was the perfect stage for a marathon debut. On race day she kept the goal simple: a smart run around three hours. The early lead surprised her, Main Street USA brought tears, and a bike lead quietly guided the way. At mile 19, rain poured at Blizzard Beach, second place loomed a few minutes behind, and Stephanie turned the weather into fuel. By the time she entered EPCOT, the possibility became a pulse, then a certainty: tape up, arms high, a finish line she won't forget.We also share practical updates for runners prepping for Marathon Weekend, Princess, and Springtime Surprise—training checkpoints, ADR reminders, and big news from runDisney: Dopey Challenge merchandise access limited to registered Dopey runners on day one, with verification and item limits. Our Disney Springs meetup is set, free, and cookie-powered, with a flag raffle and a group photo at 3:30 p.m. The race report packs in festive wins from across the country: PRs and age-group podiums, costumes and community, and a subzero grind that ended in hot chocolate.Whether you're chasing a BQ, jumping into your first 5K, or just here for the Main Street chills, you'll leave fired up with clear tips, real talk, and a reminder that if you make it to the start, you're already winning.

HR3 - Kirk Cousins going under center made Falcons offense feel whole vs. Saints In hour three Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac let listeners call in and give their take on Dylan Mathews' top five Thanksgiving sides list, what they think the good, the bad, and the ugly was in the Atlanta Falcons 24-10 win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, and if they like the fact that Georgia versus Georgia Tech will be played on a Friday in Mercedes-Benz Stadium in the Wake Up Call! Then, Mike, Beau, and Ali talk about how Bill Belichick's girlfriend Jordan Hudson is trolling people back for trolling her about Belichick coming to support her at her adult cheer competition. The Morning Shift crew also let you hear Falcons Head Coach Raheem Morris talk about how Sunday's performance against the Saints was the reason why they decided to keep Kirk Cousins on the roster, react to what Coach Morris had to say, explain why they think the Falcons win over Saints proved keeping Kirk Cousins was right decision, talk about running in 5Ks and other races, give their early thoughts on the Falcons matchup with the New York Jets on Sunday, explain why weather could be a factor when the Falcons take on the Jets in New York on Sunday, and then close out hour three by diving into the life of Beau “Squidbilly” Morgan in The Life of Squid!

In S5Ep12 of the PRP, Adam heads to O'Toole's to break bread with longtime Michigan running mainstay, data deep diver, impassioned RFB co-organizer and steadfast steward of the sport Danny Johnston, who has been preparing for the Indianapolis Half Marathon. Lauren Wolf, fellow RFB co-organizer, clarinet connoisseur and proud data sorceress joins the show to offer her take on volunteering, larping and of course, the ever-expanding RFB offspring universe.Together, the crew digs into the story of RFB's rise—from a casual Monday beer run between friends to one of Michigan's most welcoming community fixtures. Danny & Lauren reflect on what it means to show up not only as a runner but as a volunteer, guide and advocate. More often than not, they note, supporting someone else's finish line can be more joyful, and far more fulfilling, than chasing your own.Things get vulnerable when Danny deep dives into his thoughtful Runner Language Research Project—what began as curiosity has grown into a full exploration of how we speak about the sport we love. He explains how tiny phrases like “just a 5K” or “only eight miles” can unintentionally shrink accomplishments and quietly gate keep newcomers while simultaneously robbing experienced runners of the credit they deserve. He reminds us that language influences not just who feels included, but how we see ourselves.His mission isn't to scold but to soften the edges of the sport and widen the on-ramp for anyone who hasn't yet realized they belong. It's a call to celebration over comparison, intention over ego and stewardship over splits. A reminder that every run counts, every effort matters—and that your “hard” is still worthy, even on the days you don't feel impressive.From clarinet solos to crag lessons, analytics to alleyway 5Ks, this episode highlights what truly makes running magical: the humans. The ones who cheer loud, volunteer hard, carry the vibes (not the boats) and keep the joy alive. A celebration of showing up, lifting up and growing better together.Exposure therapy, echo chambers and nanner haters oh my! This and more in this laughter-filled, perspective-shifting & data-backed episode of the PRP!Recorded Monday November 3rd @ 5:00PM EST

The miles are getting long, the holidays are closing in, and motivation is wobbling—so we get honest about what actually works. We talk through the head game of marathon training: patience over pace on long runs, how to break the distance into chunks that calm your mind, and why comparing speeds on social media can derail your best week. You'll leave with simple mental cues, smarter pacing targets, and a healthier way to handle missed miles without nuking your confidence.Then we fly to Hong Kong Disneyland for a runner's guide you can actually use. Registration quirks, pricing, and why it's cheaper than you think. Corrals with no proof of time, last‑minute gate openings, and back‑to‑back race tactics when a 5K and 3K are minutes apart. Expect fewer characters, more selfies, and shirts that genuinely outshine many U.S. race tops. The routes weave outside the park and along the waterfront before Main Street and the Castle of Magical Dreams. Community stories bring the heart. The Rocky Run in Philly brought heat, crowds, and Mount Drago—a hill that humbled big goals and reminded us how to pivot mid‑race and still finish strong. Across the map, listeners logged PRs, first halves, charity 5Ks, and holiday light runs. We also spotlight a small business comeback from Fluffy Fizzies, with recovery goodies, expo preorders, and a reminder that resilience is built the same way as endurance: steady, honest, and supported.Hit play if you need a reset on training mindset, you're curious about international Disney races, or you just want a boost from runners who get it.

What if the fastest way to stop bingeing is to stop banning foods? Coach Chris Terrell joins us to flip the script on weight loss by focusing on emotional eating, autonomy, and the basics that actually last. He works with people north of 300 pounds who feel written off, and his philosophy is refreshingly doable: master awareness and environment first, then let the numbers serve you—not rule you.We unpack why “eat the chips” can break the binge cycle, how restriction fuels obsession, and why sugar isn't your enemy so much as an easy escape when work, caregiving, or life steal your sense of control. Chris lays out three honest options for any stressor—change the conditions, end the situation, or accept and reframe—and shows how progress happens when you stop moralizing slips and start learning from them. Expect real tools: food-noise journaling via notes, voice, or private video; short walks without headphones to slow your mind; better sleep; and OSPs—only supportive people—to counter the crabs-in-a-bucket effect.We also tackle physique inflation, the myth that a six pack equals health, and the pressure creators feel to keep a “brand body.” Chris explains why he makes clients “earn” calorie tracking, how to build habits for reasons unrelated to weight, and how community challenges—Tough Mudders, hikes, 5Ks, even city scavenger hunts—turn movement into play and belonging. If you've tried hacks and still feel stuck, this conversation will help you rebuild belief, trade shame for curiosity, and create a life where better choices are the easy ones to repeat.If this episode resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a quick review to help more listeners find us.
