In our 250th episode of the Better with Running Podcast! We celebrate this milestone, with a special duo from the run2pb team: dedicated athlete Liam Brandt and his coach, James Telford. In this interview, we explore Liam's running journey, from his humble beginnings in the sport to his impressive progression and training ahead of his debut at the Gold Coast Marathon. Liam speaks candidly about the demanding sessions, the mental fortitude required for solo runs in the dark, and the stark contrast between this solitary training and his background in team sports like football. He opens up about pushing through the "dark places" that every dedicated athlete encounters, offering a raw and honest look at the grind behind the results.Looking ahead, Liam and James give us a look inside the training block and revealing his favourite session. To get to know Liam even better, we put him in the hot seat with a quick-fire round. We find out his preference between Garmin and Coros, the tech debate of iPhone versus Android, and the one bit of life advice he'd give his 18-year-old self. For all the shoe geeks out there, Liam gives us the inside scoop on his shoe rotation for easy days, sessions, and races, and also shares the song he'd put on the soundtrack of his life.To cap off this milestone episode, we make a very exciting announcement. The Better with Running Podcast is thrilled to launch a new partnership with Oat Running Socks! In celebration, every guest who joins us on the show will now receive a free pair of Oat Running's fantastic running socks as a thank you for sharing their story.

In this week's episode, Ange and Peta consider a quote they came across this week that really impacted them: “Your best is what you can do without harming your physical or mental health, not what you can accomplish when you disregard it” We discuss how we have been socialised to believe that our best is to give it our all regardless of the consequences.

In this episode of the FitMIND FitBODY podcast, I chat with the dedicated and enthusiastic Brad Smithers. Brad shares his inspiring journey from an enthusiastic beginner to a seasoned runner who has completed numerous marathons and ultra-marathons. He emphasises the importance of enjoying the journey, not just the destination. Brad talks about how he started running, the challenges he faced, and his love for long-distance events. He recalls his early days of bushwalking with his family and how it sparked his interest in endurance activities. His story is a testament to the power of consistency and dedication in achieving long-term running goals. One of the highlights of this episode is Brad's recounting of his experiences with various marathons and ultra-marathons, including the famous Six Foot Track and the Gold Coast Marathon. He shares valuable tips on training, staying motivated, and the importance of having a support system in the running community. Brad also discusses the joy of trail running and the sense of camaraderie it brings. He highlights how the running community supports each other, regardless of whether you are a beginner or an elite runner. His insights into the mental and physical benefits of running make this episode a must-listen. Tune in to hear Brad's incredible stories and gain insights into how running can be a powerful tool for personal growth and community building. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting, Brad's enthusiasm and practical advice will inspire you to lace up your shoes and hit the trails. The charity Brad helps run - Run Against Violence - https://www.runagainstviolence.com/ Book - Comfort Crisis (Michael Easter) - https://amzn.asia/d/g4npObg Book - Outlive (Peter Attia) - https://amzn.asia/d/2G3oOks Brad's Running Tips: 1. Start with Small Goals: Brad emphasises setting small, achievable goals when beginning your running journey. It's important not to aim too high initially, such as trying to run a marathon in your first week. 2. Consistency is Key: He advises being consistent with your training. Regular runs, even if they are short, help build endurance and make running a habit. 3. Find What Works for You: Brad highlights the importance of finding a training routine that fits your lifestyle and personal preferences. Everyone is different, so what works for one person might not work for another. 4. Listen to Your Body: Paying attention to how your body feels during and after runs is crucial. It's important to push yourself, but not to the point of injury. 5. Incorporate Variety: Including different types of runs, like sprints and hill training, can improve your overall running performance and keep your training interesting. 6. Use Mantras: Brad suggests using mantras or positive affirmations to stay motivated during tough runs. This mental trick can help you push through difficult parts of your training. 7. Embrace the Community: He talks about the benefits of joining a running community or club. Running with others can provide motivation, support, and a sense of camaraderie. 8. Acknowledge Pain and Growth: Understand that some discomfort is part of the growth process. Recognise when pain is a signal to slow down and when it's a natural part of building strength and endurance. 9. Set Multiple Goals: Brad recommends having A, B, and C goals for races. Your “A” goal is your ideal outcome, “B” is a solid achievement, and “C” is the minimum you aim for. This approach helps you stay motivated and adaptable. 10. Focus on Enjoyment: Above all, Brad stresses the importance of enjoying the running journey. The process should be fulfilling and fun, not just about hitting milestones. **A couple of BIG favours: 1) please like and review this podcast so more people will discover it :) 2) come on the podcast and talk about your running journey and/or refer someone you'd love me to interview (whether you know them or not :) )  Lets not keep the power of running a secret any more!  Hit me up on Facebook/Instagram (FitMIND FitBODY) or send me an email - Michelle @ FitMINDFitBODY .co  Don't miss an episode of the FitMind FitBODY Podcast.

If you're looking to take your running to the next level, strategic use of a training log can help you get there. Using a journal to collect your thoughts, plan your goals, and analyze your short and long-term training can provide unique insights to improve as a runner. With that in mind, this week's podcast is a special edition to introduce something I have been working on over the past nine months. Strength Running's own running log - The Performance Training Journal - is now available! The power of reflection is real. While an electronic log on Strava can store your mileage and splits, it doesn't encourage any interaction or reflection. There is little opportunity for growth. While a pencil and paper log may sound archaic these days, the simple act of writing and reflecting has more power to improve your running than any app. If you aren't logging the details of your training, you're missing an opportunity for improvement. This edition of the podcast is meant to help you understand the value of a journal and learn how the Performance Training Journal has been created and refined to help you get the most from your running.  You'll learn how our  journal can help you... Focus on the most useful training metrics  Approach your training to continue improving Gain a better understanding  of your body's capabilities and limitations Find confidence leading into a key event Learn about strength training, injury prevention, race planning and more Get started with the Performance Training Journal today! Thank You Previnex! We're supported by our newest partner, Previnex. After resisting most supplements for the better part of my life, I'm cautiously changing my tune.

Running form has often focused on concepts like cadence and footstrike to create change and improve efficiency. But a “top down” approach - focusing on the arms, torso, and cues - is an innovative and accessible way to become a stronger, healthier runner. This week's guest on the podcast is Paul Mackinnon, a former semi-pro hockey player who has become an expert on gait retraining. Paul is from Melbourne, Australia and has worked with many high level athletes over the years to improve their running form, including former podcast guest and 2:19 marathoner Peter Bromka. My discussion with Paul is a masterclass on form. Despite this being a complex topic, his ideas are easy to grasp and  have made me rethink some commonly held concepts about running technique. Some of the topics we discuss on the episode include: Paul's “top down” approach to thinking about running form and technique 3 of the most common problem areas for runners How your arms create lift in your running The underestimated torso - why we need to focus here first The impact of running shoes on form Form cues that help reinforce proper form Why the “don't fix what isn't broken” mentality may not be the best way to approach running technique The importance of body awareness to create change in your form This week's episode can help runners learn how to improve their form at any stage of the game.  Enjoy!

A big thanks to Elemental Labs for their support of this episode! They make electrolyte drinks for athletes and low-carb folks with no sugar, artificial ingredients, or colors. And you can get a free sampler pack of 4 flavors and 8 individual packets when you pay $5 in shipping. Elemental Labs' products have some of the highest sodium concentrations that you can find. Anybody who runs a lot knows that sodium, as well as other electrolytes like magnesium and potassium, are essential to our performance and how we feel throughout the day. The citrus flavor has quickly become my favorite. I'm drinking one a day now to help me get enough fluids in our dry Colorado air. It's tasty and delicious and I find that I'm not peeing every 45 minutes throughout the day, which might be an indication I wasn't eating enough sodium. There's now mounting evidence that higher sodium intake levels are not unhealthy – and athletes need substantially more than your typical sedentary person. Of course, ask your doctor if you're worried. But for those athletes running outside in the heat, an electrolyte replacement makes a lot of sense. So check out Elemental Labs to try their new flavor or get a free sampler pack.  Thank You Gold Coast Marathon We're supported by the Gold Coast Marathon which takes place in Queensland, Australia on July 2nd, 2023.

On the podcast this week I have Sarah Gearhart, a writer and 14-time marathoner. She's a sports journalist whose work has appeared pretty much everywhere, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, ESPN, Runner's World, and many others. Sarah is the author of the new book, We Share the Sun: The Incredible Journey of Kenya's Legendary Running Coach Patrick Sang and the Fastest Runners on Earth. Patrick Sang is the coach of Eliud Kipchoge, widely regarded as the world's best marathoner. But the culture he has created at his Kaptagat training camp focuses on treating all runners - Kipchoge included - as a whole person. Sarah's time at the camp allowed her a unique insight into this community that few of us know or understand, but sets an example that all runners can learn from. Sarah and I touch on a number of topics surrounding her new book, including: What drew her to write about Patrick Sang and the athletes he coaches Why Patrick Sang is often described as a life coach and not just a running coach How the culture Sang created for his athletes contributes to their success The immersive experience of Sang's runners and how it adds to their dominance How Kipchoge came to be coached by Sang Why Sarah's perspective on running has evolved since her time in Kenya Sarah's book is beautifully written and a must read for anyone who loves the sport.
