If you care about running for the long haul–physically, mentally, and emotionally–this episode is for you. We want to look at what actually moves the needle for runners, and we're back with Alex Ostberg to recap his recent newsletters from The Rundown to do just that.We start with a hard truth many athletes learn too late: performance doesn't fix identity. That idea sets the tone for a broader reflection on what success in running really looks like when the noise fades.      From there, we zoom out. Over the past year, certain lessons kept repeating themselves across training, racing, and life; lessons that hit harder than any single workout or result. And they tend to show up whether you're chasing a state title, a marathon PR, or just consistency.We also look back at 2025 as a whole. What trends mattered? What narratives were overblown? And what quietly reshaped the sport in ways most people missed?That leads into habits nobody talks about enough. Not revolutionary breakthroughs, but small, underrated behaviors that compound over months and years. Finally, we tackle one of running's most persistent myths, which is especially relevant in an era of super shoes, carbon plates, and constant gear discourse.This episode isn't about hacks or hot takes. It's about clarity; it's about cutting through performance culture, training dogma, and external validation to understand what really lasts in this sport.Tap into the Alex Ostberg Rundown Recap Special.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review! I would also appreciate it if you share it with your friend who you think will benefit from it. Comment the word “PODCAST” below and I'll DM you a link to listen. If this episode blesses you, please share it with a friend!S H O W  N O T E S-The Run Down By The Running Effect (our new newsletter!): https://tinyurl.com/mr36s9rs-Our Website: https://therunningeffect.run -THE PODCAST ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClLcLIDAqmJBTHeyWJx_wFQ-My Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/therunningeffect/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-Take our podcast survey: https://tinyurl.com/3ua62ffz

Most Christians don't lose their faith overnight. They lose it slowly—through fatigue, distraction, and disorder. In this episode, Coach Alex breaks down why mornings are not just a productivity hack, but a spiritual battleground.Drawing from Scripture, neuroscience, circadian biology, and lived discipleship, he shows how your first 30 minutes shape your faithfulness, clarity, and emotional regulation for the entire day. You'll learn why Scripture before screens matters neurologically and biblically, why sunlight and movement anchor your nervous system, how prayer realigns your loves, and why delaying dopamine restores authority over your mind.This isn't aesthetic “quiet time.” It's embodied stewardship of the body God designed.Main Discussion Themes-Why mornings are about consecration, not self-care-First fruits theology and the discipline of order-Scripture before screens: neurological and spiritual implications-Circadian rhythm, cortisol, testosterone, and morning light-Dopamine, novelty, and nervous system dysregulation-Training attention toward truth instead of threat-Prayer as alignment, not performance-Habit formation and spiritual plasticity -Stewardship of the body as worship-A simple, repeatable, faithful morning rule of lifeTimestamped Outline0:00 – 0:45 Hook: “If Satan can't steal your salvation, he'll gladly steal your morning.” Why most Christians drift through fatigue, distraction, and disorder.0:45 – 1:45 Biblical foundation: Psalms 5:3, Mark 1:35, Lamentations 3:23. Mornings as first fruits and consecration.1:45 – 2:45 Orientation: Who is Lord today? Why reactivity is the opposite of discipline.2:45 – 3:45 Biology: Testosterone, cortisol, circadian rhythm, morning light. Why God designed your body to win the day early. 3:45 – 4:45 Dopamine, novelty, phones, and nervous system scrambling. Why Scripture stabilizes attention and identity.4:45 – 6:00 Four rules of a faithful morning: Scripture before screens Sunlight and light movement Short, honest prayer Delay dopamine6:00 – 7:15 Formation: What you rehearse first becomes your default under stress.

Episode SummaryWhat does faithful fitness actually look like inside a real household? In this episode, Coach Alex sits down with his wife Christin—dietitian, working mom of two, and the often-unseen force behind their family's rhythm—to talk honestly about parenting, nutrition, sleep, training, and discipline.This isn't a lecture or a perfect blueprint. It's a grounded conversation about how faith and fitness shape daily decisions at home: how they think about kids' behavior, picky eating, sleep routines, garage-gym logistics, and why structure doesn't have to mean deprivation.If you're trying to lead your family well without chaos, burnout, or food battles, this conversation will meet you right where you are.Main Discussion Themes-Why we treat kids' behavior as a nutrition, sleep, or movement signal before an attitude issue-How education (not perfection) shapes family nutrition habits-Raising kids who aren't jealous of junk food—and understand why Sleep as a non-negotiable foundation for growth and regulation-Navigating picky eating without surrendering parental leadership-How we structure choice (“A or B”) instead of outsourcing decisions to kids-Making fitness work in a busy household with a shared garage gym-Why faithful fitness isn't rigid—and how balance actually works (85/15, 80/20)-Enjoying food as a gift from God, not a guilt triggerTimestamped Outline0:00–0:40 — Hook: Why we don't treat kids' behavior as an attitude problem0:40–1:15 — Intro: “Meet my secret weapon”1:15–3:30 — Early podcast days, closet recordings, and unseen support3:30–6:00 — Education, stewardship, and undoing inherited food habits6:00–9:30 — Teaching kids to understand food (not fear it)9:30–11:30 — Sleep discipline and why it changed everything11:30–14:30 — Picky eating, parental authority, and explaining “why”14:30–16:30 — Controlled choice vs. chaos at the table16:30–19:30 — Garage gym reality: scheduling, flexibility, and urgency19:30–22:30 — The Shred, fasting, and training differences for men and women22:30–24:30 — The myth of the “rigid” fitness household24:30–26:30 — Food as pleasure, celebration, and connection (Ecclesiastes)26:30–28:00 — Invitation: family nutrition Q&A + prayer28:00–29:30 — Closing + community invitationMove Forward Today-Coach Alex's Devotional, “Faithful Fitness” - https://faithfulfitnessdevo.com-Comment on YouTube: What's the hardest part of feeding or leading your family well right now? -Share this episode with a parent who's overwhelmed by food battles or schedules.-Join the Faithful Fitness community to continue the conversation, receive support, and submit questions for a follow-up family Q&A - https://betterdaily.live/inviteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/faithful-fitness-by-better-daily--5150768/support.

Episode SummaryIn this sermon preached at New Life Church Greenbrier (Dec. 28, 2025), Coach Alex flips a familiar verse on its head: the gates of hell aren't attacking the Church—they're defending. Jesus' promise isn't that we'll merely “hold on” until the end; it's that the Church advances and hell can't stop it.Coach Alex makes it practical: if you've spent a year waking up on defense—tired, in pain, stuck, reactive—there's a reason.The enemy targets the individual body, then the family, then the community. But when your “want to,” your “able to,” your relationships, coaching, rewards, and environment align toward God, you stop fighting alone.Call to action: -Join Faithful Fitness (and check out the Shred): https://betterdaily.live/invite -Get Coach Alex's Devotional (Faithful Fitness): https://faithfulfitnessdevo.comMain Discussion ThemesMatthew 16 reframed: “The gates of hell” are defensive structures—the Church advances.Offense vs. defense Christianity: why many believers feel stuck, reactive, and worn down.The battlefield order: body → family → community.Three circles model: how darkness spreads when the light isn't protected and multiplied.The 6 forces tug-of-war: why people fail—and how to win by changing the system around you.Personal: Want to, Able toSocial: Fans & Friends, CoachStructural: Rewards, EnvironmentScripture anchors for embodied stewardship:1 Corinthians 6:19–20Psalm 139:14Ephesians 5:29Timestamped Outline0:00–0:23 — Intro + welcome0:23–2:41 — Family-service tone + participation + rope setup2:41–4:53 — Poll questions → the body question exposes the real issue4:53–8:59 — Matthew 16:15–18 setup + “gates of hell” promise8:59–11:33 — Milk vs meat in Scripture; “underline this phrase” moment11:33–15:27 — Offense vs defense demo (shield vs sword)15:27–18:28 — Greek insight: “katyskohol” → hell can't defend against the Church18:28–21:41 — Candlelight picture: light pushes back darkness21:41–24:20 — The three circles: community → family → body (enemy's strategy)24:20–27:25 — Scripture truths about the body + Faithful Fitness devotional mention27:25–30:37 — Tug-of-war demo: why it feels impossible alone30:37–42:16 — The 6 forces explained (personal/social/structural)42:16–44:40 — System shift: align forces toward God → obedience becomes sustainable44:40–end — Final charge + prayer + response invitationMove Forward Today (Calls to Action)Join Faithful Fitness + the Shred (community + coaching + practical structure):https://betterdaily.live/inviteGet the Faithful Fitness Devotional (40-day Scripture-guided discipleship for embodied stewardship):https://faithfulfitnessdevo.comOne action in 5 minutes: Write down which force is currently pulling against you:Want toAble toFans & FriendsCoachRewardsEnvironmentThen write one concrete counter-move (ex: remove trigger foods, ask spouse for support, choose enjoyable training, schedule accountability).Featured Guest ResourcesCoach Alex's ResourcesJoin Faithful Fitness (and check out the Shred): https://betterdaily.live/inviteGet the Faithful Fitness Devotional: https://faithfulfitnessdevo.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/faithful-fitness-by-better-daily--5150768/support.

In the latest episode of the Pro Insight Podcast, Pro Insight's Tyler Glazier sat down with Alex Loul Syum. Formerly the Head Men's Basketball Coach at Mt. Hood Community College and now an International Scout for the Eritrea Basketball Association and founder of Flow State Global, Loul Syum is known for his player development, academic guidance, culture-building, and mental performance support rooted in his background as a mental health counselor.In this episode, we dive into starting his consulting company Flow State Global, helping young athletes and their families, training philosophies, and much more.

Episode SummaryWhat if peace wasn't just a feeling you occasionally experience but a person you follow daily? In this episode, Coach Alex sits down with author, speaker, and podcast host Michelle Brumgard to explore what she calls The Pace of Peace.Michelle shares how years of praying for calm—in her body, her marriage, and her home—revealed that true peace isn't found in quick fixes, quiet moments, or the absence of chaos, but in Christ Himself, the Prince of Peace.Through vulnerable stories of motherhood, marriage struggles, overwhelm, and the practical demands of daily life, Michelle helps us understand how to pause, pray, and invite Jesus into the middle of our messy days.Together, Alex and Michelle unpack how peace intersects with our health, fitness, and homes—and why striving for control only leads to more overwhelm. Whether you're a busy parent, a believer battling stress, or simply hungry for God's presence in your everyday life, this conversation will remind you to slow down, breathe, and walk at the pace of peace.Main Discussion Themes-Why peace is not just an emotion but a person (Jesus, the Prince of Peace)-Michelle's journey: from overwhelm, anxiety, and striving to living at God's pace-The difference between worldly peace (quick fixes, calm moments) and biblical peace-Overwhelm as the opposite of peace—and practical ways to reset-The P.A.C.E. acronym: Pray And Continue Earnestly-How overwhelm shows up in parenting, marriage, health, and the home-Simple daily practices for pausing, praying, and re-centering on Christ -Michelle's free resource: Five Proverbs to Pray When You Feel Overwhelmed-Her upcoming book The Pace of Peace (January release)Timestamped Outline00:00 – 05:00 | Pre-show: life on the farm, fiber internet, kids growing up05:00 – 12:00 | Introducing Michelle: mom of two, podcast host, relaunching her coaching ministry 12:00 – 20:00 | Why peace became her life's message (journaling, prayer, revelation)20:00 – 28:00 | What peace is not: quick fixes, pills, naps, or achieving goals28:00 – 40:00 | Biblical peace as presence with Christ—even in chaos 40:00 – 55:00 | Overwhelm: the opposite of peace (parenting, schedules, meals, body image)55:00 – 01:05:00 | Practical resets: journaling, prayer, prioritizing with God01:05:00 – 01:15:00 | The P.A.C.E. acronym: Pray And Continue Earnestly01:15:00 – 01:25:00 | Free resource: Five Proverbs to Pray When You Feel Overwhelmed01:25:00 – 01:30:00 | Final encouragement + closing prayerMove Forward Today✅Get Coach Alex's new book today!
