George Couros reflects on a book he read while he was training for the Disney Marathon! In this episode, you will hear Couros share three thoughts from the book, Run the Mile You're In by Ryan Hall. Be sure to check out this episode for a heartwarming story about how the ideas shared by Hall connected to Couros' beloved dog, Odom. Quotes: “I believe that we each have a mission to accomplish and that we have been designed in such a way that we are not lacking anything to accomplish it. Everything we need is already inside of us. We just have to find it and figure out how to cultivate it.” - Ryan Hall “I had to remind myself to celebrate others' achievements because what makes me special, important, or of worth has nothing to do with my or anyone else's performance. I shouldn't look down on myself for not doing as well as someone else because the goal isn't to be better than everyone else. My goal, when I was at my best, was always to be the best version of me that I could be. I found that if I was inspired by the breakthrough of others, then often those breakthroughs became my catalyst for believing I could do it too and experiencing my own breakthroughs.” - Ryan Hall “Sometimes our biggest victories aren't the races we win. Sometimes they're the personal battles we win along the way.” - Ryan Hall Links: The OC - https://www.theoc.net/ Run the Mile You're In (Book on Amazon) - https://www.amazon.com/Run-Mile-Youre-Finding-Every/dp/0310354374 __________________________________________ Please share your thoughts with us on Twitter or Instagram at #InnovatorsMindset.

In this episode of the Marathon Running Podcast, we have the pleasure of welcoming Addie Bracy, the author of "Mental Training for Ultrarunning." While the book primarily focuses on ultrarunners, Addie reveals how its valuable mental training principles can be expertly applied to benefit marathon runners gearing up for their fall races. Throughout the episode, Addie delves into the intricate world of mental toughness for marathoners, drawing parallels between the unique challenges faced by ultrarunners and those encountered on the marathon course.   Addie starts by discussing the importance of understanding psychological breakdowns in ultrarunning (similar to marathon challenges) and how this knowledge can help runners overcome mental hurdles during races. She delves into the concept of "Finding Your Why for Running" and shares insights on how marathoners can discover their personal 'why' to stay motivated during grueling months of training.   Stress management, a critical element for athletes, is explored through the lens of Addie's book, particularly the stress response, which she explains in Chapter 3. She reveals how these insights can be invaluable for marathoners preparing for their races.   Chapters 4 through 8 are examined, including "Getting Comfortable With Being Uncomfortable" (a key concept for marathon runners), "Running the Mile You're In" (staying present during races), "Sticking to the Grind" (commitment to training), and "Adaptability" (adjusting to race-day conditions). Addie's explanations offer practical strategies for marathoners to apply these principles effectively.   Throughout the episode, Addie provides real-life examples and anecdotes of marathon runners who have successfully used her book's mental training strategies to enhance their race experiences. She also offers advice on breaking through mental barriers and staying strong during races.   Addie addresses the unique challenges faced by first-time marathoners, offering specific tips to manage pre-race nerves and uncertainty. Additionally, she highlights how both elite and recreational marathon runners can use the principles in her book to elevate their performance and overall enjoyment of marathon running.   As the episode wraps up, Addie leaves our listeners with a powerful message: the importance of mental training and preparation as they gear up for their fall marathons. Her insights offer valuable tools and exercises that marathoners can immediately implement to boost their mental toughness and ultimately achieve their race-day goals.   Addie's book is available at: https://www.amazon.com/dp/171820017X?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamzletic0bb-20&creativeASIN=171820017X&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.K5OYFFSR1ZXW&ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_aipsfrunningpodcast_4WQTFCC6V4KDXCBHCP4R_f_asin   Addie's website https://www.strivementalperformance.com/ Follow us on instagram @runningpodcast Our Amazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/runningpodcast/list/4Q1SAM3KS81G?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_aipsfrunningpodcast_4WQTFCC6V4KDXCBHCP4R Join our facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/SpeedStriders Follow us on instagram @runningpodcast Check out our NEW website: www.marathonrunningpodcast.coom

Takeaways – Life. Lessons. Learned. When I turned 40 a few years ago, it occurred to me that if I didn't start getting healthy, I would be 50 before I knew it, and still feel bad. It was time to make a change in my health habits. I landed on running. I started with the Nike Run Club app that coached me through my runs. As I saw results, both mentally and physically, running became more and more of a passion. I decided to get a coach and start training for a half marathon. That's when I met Michelle Cupersmith. Michelle's resume will tell you she's a senior financial analyst with Light & Wonder, formerly Scientific Games. She has a double major in accounting and psychology. Her resume is impressive but, first and foremost, Michelle identifies as a runner. It's her hobby and passion and she's helped make running a passion for people who she coaches through Team Run Run. Michelle has given me vital lessons, tips, and coaching that allowed me to complete a half marathon in under 10 minutes on average per mile and then train for a full marathon which I completed June 5th. Along the way, running has also shown me important, fundamental lessons that parallel life. Run the Mile You're In What does it mean to run the mile you're in? Essentially, it means to be present in what you're doing. If you're running, run. If you're working, work. When you hit a wall and don't want to continue, take time to be present and do a “systems check” to help get yourself back in the race. “The point is not getting from A to B,” said Michelle. “It's the run itself.” Key Takeaway: Pace Yourself to Accomplish Goals One of the first lessons I learned when Michelle and I began working together is how important it is to know your paces. Whether you're running a marathon, or running the marathon of life, knowing when to run an easy pace, a sprint pace, a moderate pace, or even a recovery pace is an essential life lesson. “Most people will run at a pace that is not sustainable,” said Michelle, “You're killing yourself.” There are so many ways that running can help, beyond just the physical. It involves the body and the mind. Running is the chance to prove to yourself that you can do hard things. In this episode of Takeaways, Michelle shares some of her coaching advice for runners and how that advice translates into important life lessons and business takeaways. Key Takeaways from this special episode include: - There is a difference between rest and recovery - Why is fueling properly so important? - What do you do when you want to quit? - If you have blisters and cramps, you're doing it wrong - How the mantra, Nothing New on Race Day, is so critical I hope you enjoy it!

“That is how I always race — I've always got a smile on my face.” Dakotah Lindwurm runs happy. If you saw her leading the 2021 Boston Marathon — where she ultimately finished as the third American woman — you saw that smile on full display, from start to finish. And that smile just got a lot bigger, as Dakotah kicks off the new year with her first professional contract. Last week, Dakotah announced that she has officially signed with Puma, and that she will continue training with Minnesota Distance Elite. On this episode, the 2:29 marathoner (and former hockey goalie!) talks about her stellar past year on the run, which included two half-marathon personal bests and a win at Grandma's Marathon, where she also ran a personal best. She talks about being pegged as an underdog, and why she loves it, and about her goals for this weekend's Houston Half Marathon.

Tom Dean is one of those rare individuals who are able to connect their life work to their passion areas, in creating synergy between running, faith and work (publishing) life! He sets the bar high for those of us exploring running culture and what it is to make a good life. From the perspective of a running anthropologist, this is not one to miss! Hear about some of Tom's favorite runs, books, and join us as we journey through a few decades of devotion to running. For Tom, the ability to work with and publish the likes of Ryan Hall (Run the Mile You're In: Finding God in Every Step) and Sanya Richard Ross (Chasing Grace) has been a gift and learning experience he has applied many lessons to his faith and personal life. With an incredible background and skill set in book publishing and marketing, Tom then took this and applied it to sharing the gospel (of running and his faith). Integration of various aspects of our being and what we value may seem hard to do at times, yet running is a passion which parallels so many other life and happiness factors. This is a reminder of one of my favorite spiritual psychology quotes, “Happiness cannot be sought, but must ensue from the search for meaning.” --Dr. Viktor Frankl In this conversation, we cover a wide range of topics in work and running, but focus on his most recent Hood to Coast endeavour and meeting his goal of 1,000 miles per year for over a decade! What motivates him, allows him to reach his goals and keeps him running each day? Well, some of it you'll have to listen to find out, but one tip is setting a monthly goal and having target races, and not getting too distraught if ‘our best-made plans don't turn out the first time'. For Tom, the important thing is setting both reasonable and attainable goals that we can build on over time, and keeping his spiritual life at the center of all he does. Reflecting on our conversation, I realize this applies to not only running, also career challenges and life transitions, which we've all had a lot of the past 2 years during Covid! And his wisdom shared here certainly translates to family and other relationships we value. Tom can be found on social media @thomaspdean or find his publishing company at https://www.adropofink.pub/ As always, look forward to hearing your impressions and what you have to share in the world of running, spirituality and running as therapy! Please private message us @runninganthropologist on IG or FB, or leave a message in the comments section of our blogsite: www.runninganthropologist.com Until next time, Happy Running!

Join DeDe and Chelsea for their (first) interview with Riely where they discuss finding “Purpose in the Hard.”  After 47 episodes we hit our first technical difficulty and Riely’s microphone ended up not picking up.  We debated whether we should even release this episode - but after re-listening we just absolutely LOVED what Riely had to share, and feel like the episode is even more needed than when we recorded it 4 weeks ago.  So, bear with us, and turn your volume up when it’s Riely’s turn to talk!  :)    In this episode Riely first introduces us to “Run the Mile You are In,”  and vulnerably opens up about her experience with bullying.  Chelsea discusses how to find joyful moments, days, and places; and why it is important to prioritize what is “not optional” when you are going through a trial.  Dede shares about how to lean into the good and the light in your life.  We discuss all of this … and much more about finding “Purpose in the Hard.”

This time of the year there’s a lot of attention put on goals, resolutions, getting motivated, and having the best year ever. I think there’s every more hype about it this year because we’re starting a new decade. The title of this episode is based on a book I read recently called How to Have a Good Day-Harness the Power of Behavioral Science To Transform Your Working Life by Caroline Webb. I have to admit that when I’m reading a book I often apply the principles to long distance running. Because we all know that training for a marathon holds a lot of parallels to life. Caroline Webb says, “One of the traps that people fall into is not just trying to do everything in one day, but also feeling that being an ambitious person means pushing yourself super, super hard. What we know about human motivation is that you do want to set purposeful, inspiring goals, but we make more progress by setting tiny interim goals that allow us to feel like we’re making progress, step by step, day by day.”How to Have a Good Decade In order to have a great decade behavioral science gives us some clues as to what will help us accomplish this.1. Be intentional Don’t let the day simply happen to you (or year for that matter). Set intentions and priorities for the day because it is these priorities and assumptions that set the tone for the day. Your mind is always busy sorting through endless amounts of information (it’s even processing when we sleep). Caroline Webb says,“The things that get through the filters are strongly influenced by the priorities and assumptions that we take into the day.” The three ways to be intentional are aim, attitude, and attention Aim Plan out the most important things in your day. Make a list of your priorities. This will be things that really matter most to make this day successful. Even though I’ve been in the regular habit of exercise for years I still schedule time each day for my workouts. That way it’s top of mind and I’m intentionally making time to do it. Schedule a block of time to achieve your 1-2 most important priorities. In order to get more done and stay focused it’s important to reduce multi-tasking and interruptions. Science tells us that we really can’t multi-task effectively. This will mean that you turn off notifications on your phone during productive periods, be more intentional about when you check email, and help others respect your priorities. According to behavioral science your intentions for the day should be: Positive– Think about what you’ll do instead of what not to do. For example, I will eat 100 grams of protein vs. I won’t snack between meals. Or I will strength train on Tuesday and Thursday this week vs. I won’t skip strength training. Personally meaningful– If you’re going to work hard toward a goal it’s important that it be meaningful to you. You must find your personal why. It’s great if your best friend is fired up about doing a 50k but unless that goal fires you up then you’ll probably hate the process of training. Feasible– Keep in mind that you have limited time and energy each day so don’t over-schedule yourself. For example, don’t schedule your long run on a day when you’ll be attending kid’s sporting events from dawn to dusk. It’s just not feasible if you plan on watching their games. Another example is not to schedule your long run immediately after coming off a string of night shifts when your energy levels will typically be low. Situation specific– Approach goals are better than avoidance goals (not doing something) which depresses performance. A positive approach goal for training for a marathon would be to feel strong and healthy. An avoidance goal would be to not feel fat and lazy. An approach goal could also be to prioritize cross training to stay healthy and injury free. An avoidance goal would be to stop dealing with plantar fasciitis. Attitude Practice gratitude. Much of how we experience life comes down to our attitude. To work on having a successful attitude use mental contrasting to increase the odds of having a successful day. Mental contrasting is all about looking at realities and obstacles and then making a plan to achieve your goals. It’s not that we never admit that there are unpleasant things in our life or obstacles that we face. But it is about coming up with a plan to overcome these obstacles and be successful anyway. Former POW James Stockdale said this, “You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end…with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality.” Don’t be afraid to be realistic about where you’re currently at but at the same time be sure to project hope for the future. Caroline Webb says, “People are far more likely to achieve their goals if they think hard about both the outcome they want and the obstacles they’re facing, and plan for both.” For example, if you find that you’re rarely able to get up and run in the morning (you use the snooze button without even realizing it), set your alarm away from your bed so that you have to get up to turn it off. If you’re truly not a morning person you may want to consider working out over your lunch break or in the evening. There’s no one-size-fits-all routine that works for everyone. But if you’re really intentional you’ll find a solution that works for you. Attention We need to prime our brain with the images or words that we want to focus on. I mentioned earlier that the brain is always sorting through so much information. It’s vital that we be intentional about where we want our attention to go. For example, if you’re thinking about buying a certain type of shoes it’s on your mind and you’ll start seeing them everywhere. If you’re a runner then you’ll start noticing all the people who are out running or be looking for new running routes. Prime your brain with images of your goals and intentions for the day and you’ll find opportunities to advance the goals and come up with creative solutions. Ways to prime your brain to achieve your goals are to put sticky notes with your written goals where you’ll see them (bathroom mirror, refrigerator, computer, etc). You may choose to display your running medals, wear your race shirts, or have exercise equipment around the house to cue your brain.2. Find a personal why It’s clear that intrinsic motivation leads to higher performance as opposed to extrinsic motivation. If you’re doing it for yourself then you’re more likely to succeed. Some motivations to run your first marathon are more meaningful than others. If you’re training for a race because someone else is excited about it or pressuring you or you’re trying to impress other people it will be tough to keep going when things get hard. Other more helpful whys include focusing on who you want to become and how you’re going to start living into that identity. If you start seeing yourself as a runner and as a marathoner then your daily actions will reflect that identity and it will change the choices that you make. A marathoner runs regularly. They take care of their bodies in ways that will keep them strong and healthy. They’re smart about their training in order to avoid injury.3. Think big but start small I 100% love it when people have big goals. But sometimes people never get past the big goals to see the smaller actions that they need to be taking. Daily goals should be focused and achievable. The book Atomic Habits by James Clear addresses this topic so well. An atomic habit is a small routine or practice that’s easy to do and something that creates compound growth. We often get stuck in bad habits not because we don’t want to change but because we often don’t have the right system in place to achieve change. Maybe your goal is to stop snacking after dinner. But if you eat sporadically through the day, don’t prioritize eating protein with dinner, and keep snacks in sight you’ll probably find yourself on a feeding frenzy late in the evening. Or maybe your goal is to qualify for the Boston Marathon (or BQ in runner lingo). It can be a big goal that takes time to achieve. Progress toward this goal is achieved through the training you do day in and day out. You build strength and speed over time. We often underestimate how much little changes can result in big growth over time. James Clear talks about the 4 Laws of Behavior Change in his book. They are: make it obvious, make it attractive, make it easy, and make it satisfying. He says, “Success is the product of daily habits—not once-in-a-lifetime transformations….Breakthrough moments are often the result of many previous actions, which build up the potential required to unleash a major change.” We can often look at someone’s breakthrough moment and feel a little envious. We think, “why isn’t that happening for me?” But what we don’t often see is all the tiny steps and all the hard work and effort that led to that breakthrough. Breakthroughs don’t usually happen by accident and sometimes we can’t predict when they’ll happen for us. For example, I ran 25 marathons before I qualified for Boston for the first time.4. Identify Keystone Habits Keystone habits are changes or habits that unintentionally carry over into other areas of life. Charles Duhigg talked about keystone habits in his book The Power of Habit. Keystone habits are things that positively or negatively affect other areas of your life. They include positive habits like sleep, exercise, mindfulness, and healthy eating, etc. When you look at keystone habits it’s important to identify the things that bring you energy and also try to identify the energy vampires in your life. Here are some examples of each: Energy givers– sleep, alone time, meditation, exercise, reading, eating balanced meals, time in nature, massages, etc… Energy vampires– Here are some of my energy vampires: getting less than 7 hours of sleep, too much screen time (watching TV, spending excess time on social media), not setting priorities for the day, too much sugar, going long periods between meals, not exercising, not drinking enough water, caffeine, and alcohol. This will vary from person to person depending on whether you’re an introvert or extrovert and a morning or night person. Many people find that certain music can bring an energy boost so it can be helpful to keep a playlist of songs that you can turn to when you need a power up. You may also notice that certain people in your life are energy givers while some are energy vampires.5. Harness the power of environment. We want to recognize that it can be tough to make changes and stick to goals on your own. That’s why tapping into the power of environment can fast track you to achieving goals. James Clear says, “We tend to imitate the habits of three social groups: the close (family and friends), the many (the tribe), and the powerful (those with status and prestige.)” This is why I’m careful about who I follow on social media. You may find that certain people give you a kick in the pants and are motivating while others just make you unhappy with your life. You have limited time so make sure that your environment is working for you. James Clear goes on to say, “One of the most effective things you can do to build better habits is to join a culture where (1) your desired behavior is the normal behavior and (2) you already have something in common with the group.” That’s one of the reasons why we created MTA and more specifically the Academy. We know how important it is to be surrounded by supportive and encouraging people who are achieving the things you are (or want to achieve). If you find that the majority of people in your life respond to your running goals with “that’s crazy (and not the good kind of crazy)” then it may be time to add in some people who think you’re a badass. One of the things I love about long distance running is that all you have control over is the work you put in and your attitude. You can go out each day with the mindset to “always do your best” (that doesn’t mean go hard every day and run yourself into the ground). Anyone who’s run for any length of time knows that you can show up to a workout or race and have the best day of your life or the worst day of your life or maybe something in between. You really can’t control all the variables. All you can control is your preparation and attitude. Let’s make this new decade one where we approach it with the right preparation and attitude.Books I Enjoyed in 2019 My 2019 reading round-up: 268 Total Books 133 Fiction 135 Non-fiction 31 (Number During Top Month of January) Here are the 16 Running Related Books I Read: Hanson’s Marathon Method by Luke Humphrey Can’t Hurt Me by David Goggins A Beautiful Work in Progress by Mirna Valerio Run the Mile You’re In by Ryan Hall (podcast interview) 26 Marathons by Meb Keflezighi (podcast interview) To be a Runner by Martin Dugard (podcast interview) The Long Run by Matt Long You (Only Faster) by Greg McMillan The Running Man by Orville Rogers Run or Die by Kilian Jornet Running- A Love Story by Jen A.

Greetings, SuperFriends! Today we are joined by an Olympian and half-marathon record holder, Ryan Hall. Ryan is the recently published author of Run the Mile You're In, a story about how he found his way from a self-proclaimed lousy runner to being a record holder and two-time Olympian. Since achieving so much in running, he has made the transition from a runner to a quite accomplished weight lifter. In the episode, we talked about Ryan's story, and we talked about the mindset and mentality that it takes to get to the level of performance that Ryan achieved. Moreover, we talked a little bit about his charity work, and we talked about his advice for getting your body into peak performance states. I really enjoyed this conversation, and I know you will too! - Jonathan Levi  

When Ryan Hall was a kid he hated running. In fact he still doesn’t enjoy it. The irony, Hall is an Olympic athlete and American record holder in the half marathon. At 13-years old he says he felt God was pushing him to run with the best runners in the world. The best part is that he listened. In this episode, Hall talks to Dr. Brian Bolt and Dr. Chad Carlson about the faith behind his running success. Now a coach, speaker and nonprofit partner, Hall also talks about his new book “Run the Mile You’re In: Finding God in Every Step.” Tune in for some guaranteed motivation today.

“We’re distance runners. We know how to dig in with hard stuff and persevere.” Sara and Ryan Hall are one of the best-known couples in the running industry. Ryan is a retired professional runner: He holds the American record in both the half marathon (59:43) and marathon (2:04:58), and represented the United States at both the 2008 and 2012 Olympic games. Today, he's a coach, he's spending a ton of time bulking up in the gym, and he just published his latest book, Run the Mile You're In. Sara is a professional middle-distance-turned-long-distance runner, who holds a 2:26 marathon PR and has her eyes set on the 2020 Olympic Marathon Trials. On this episode, Sara and Ryan talk candidly about their marriage, what they fight about, and what it's like being coached by your spouse. Ryan is Sara's coach, and they were very honest about what it's like for each of them when Sara doesn't have a good race or workout. They also talk about adopting their four daughters from Ethiopia, and take a trip down memory lane sharing their love story, from first sushi date to proposal to becoming parents.

Sarah and Tish have the honor of talking to running royalty, 2x Olympian Ryan Hall and pro runner Sara Hall. The couple tells the story of adopting their four daughters, sisters from Ethiopia, and Sara talks about the adjustments she’s made to her training schedule (and life!) now that she’s a #motherrunner. She details the ups-and-downs of her pro career, taking the listener through the injury-riddled lead-up to April’s Boston Marathon and her hard-fought second-place finish at the USATF Half Marathon Championships (just two days prior to the recording of this episode). Ryan shares what it’s like to be a spectator at Boston instead of a competitor, then segues into what the title of his new memoir, Run the Mile You’re in, means to him. Ryan admits how nervous he felt about retiring from professional running—then breaks news regarding the launch of an online personal training program he is involved in called Run Free Training.

Ryan Hall is a Dual US Marathon Olympian who has competed in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games finishing in 10th place and also in the 2012 London Games where Ryan was forced to retire early from the race for the first time in his career at approx. 10 miles. Ryan's best accolades are the outstanding US record he holds for the Half Marathon with a 59:43 in 2007 for the Houston Half Marathon, a record that still stands to this day. In 2011 in the Boston Marathon, Ryan achieved a 2:04:58 for the full marathon, he is still the only American Marathoner to go sub 2:05. In addition to Ryan's phenomenal 20 year distance running career, Ryan is now also known as a Best Selling author if his recently release memoire: Run the Mile You're In: Finding God in Every Step. During this episode we touch on a lot more than Ryan's running career, we certainly speak about the highs, the lows and the learnings, but Ryan also shares candidly around the process of adopting 4 Ethiopian Sisters several years ago. Ryan outlines how he went from a basketball loving teenager who had no interest in running to one day feeling inspired to run a 15 mile lap of his local lake. Ryan shares around why he thinks that eating a lot of bread the day before he ran 59:43 may have been so important, the concept of why happy feet make light feet, while listening to your body more than your watch can be so important in training.

Key Links: Twitter: @ryanhall3 Instagram: @ryanhall3 Website Hall Steps Foundation Book: Run the Mile You’re In: Finding God in Every Step ___ On this week’s episode of the Hope Sports Podcast, Laura chats with elite runner Ryan Hall. Ryan picked up running as a young teen and quickly became a top competitor in California. He attended Stanford University where he ran cross country, but struggled academically and athletically, leading him to take time off his sophomore year. He battled severe negativity and depression as he came to terms with how much of his identity was wrapped up in his success as a runner. After reclaiming his emotional health, he returned to Stanford with a new mindset about competition - that it should be fun and would not determine his worth. After graduation, Ryan signed with ASICS to run professionally. He bumped up his distance after realizing that he was not posting competitive 5K times and the decision proved to be a wise one. In 2007, Hall was the first American to break the one hour mark in the half marathon, and followed that by logging the fastest debut marathon by an American at the race in London. His speed at that distance landed him a victory at the Olympic Trials and a spot on the team to Beijing. Ryan went on to compete in two Olympics and ran professionally for ten years. He and his wife, Sarah (also a professional runner) traveled around the world to train and compete and were moved by the immense need that they saw. They began racing for World Vision and eventually started the Hall Steps Foundation which supports a variety of projects worldwide as runners raise funds across the country. The Hall family grew in number when Ryan and Sarah adopted a sibling group of four sisters from Ethiopia. Ryan retired after a series of injuries, but did so with the heart to give back through speaking, writing, and coaching. His book, Run the Mile You’re In: Finding God in Every Step launches this April.

In this episode we speak with Ryan Hall -2x Olympian, American record holder, and author of the book Run the Mile You’re In. And in the quick tip segment, we answer a listener question about how to deal with chafing. Interview with Ryan Hall Ryan Hall set the U.S. record in the half marathon when he ran 59:43 at the Houston Half Marathon in 2007- the first American to break the one hour barrier. He placed 10th at the Olympic Marathon in Beijing. He’s the only American to run sub-2:05 (2:04:58 at Boston). His wife Sara is currently an elite runner and they have four adopted daughters from Ethiopia. In this episode we walk through the big themes of his new book Run the Mile You’re In. In this interview Ryan shares . . . What it means to run the mile you’re in. The importance of identity and the ability to not take your failures personally. How the African runners process failure. Goals of the heart. The comparison trap. Dealing with pain. Having a healthy body image. Mental toughness isn’t something you either have or don’t have. Mental toughness starts with the belief that you are mentally tough, and it is nurtured through positive declarations. Competing out of love results in superior strength. The next time you find yourself in a painful situation, find a way outside of yourself. Think about your love for God, your family, your friends, those you are helping. There is more strength inside of you than you can imagine when you fix your eyes on Jesus. All you have to do is stay close and stay in love, and you can endure incredible pain.Also Mentioned in This Episode Ryan Hall’s website:https://ryanandsarahall.com NuNee Device -designed specifically to relieve that dreaded Runner’s Knee pain.

Find Your Running Calling Finding your calling in life is wonderful. When you have a burning inside you that powers your actions, no amount of adversity can stop or discourage you. You know why you do what you do, and your success and fulfillment don’t stem from the results of your effort, they come from your effort alone. For some people, a life calling comes naturally, often at a very young age. For others, it takes years of searching and work till they discover what makes them excited to jump out of bed each morning. Us runners? We also all have a running calling. Something that fuels our reason for running. A natural ability, an appreciation for the body, a desire to stay healthy, or an aspiration to break records can all be reasons to run. Maybe you are battling cancer, maybe you lost someone to cancer, maybe you run simply to work off some stress. Whatever it is, it’s yours. Today we interviewed Ryan Hall on the Running for Real podcast. Ryan holds the record for the U.S. half marathon and once completed seven marathons, on all seven continents, in seven days. Yes, you read that correctly. Ryan knows how it feels to find a calling in life and in running. Listen or read along to see what you can learn about your calling and how that can propel you to do great things. Learn About Yourself Learning about yourself is a funny concept. We are the only people we are around 24/7, and yet often times, coaches, parents, or mentors know things about us we don’t know about ourselves. For Ryan, learning about himself helped him to know that running was something he wanted to do from the first time he went on a run. It can be difficult to decide which interests are life callings, and which are just interests. Knowing when to give something up or when to work through difficulty takes practice. Ryan says, “The more you know yourself, the easier it is to act on these different ideas or inspirations.” Take time to explore a variety of ideas and ponder which ones speak to your heart. Also take time to think about why you run. When you think back to the first time you ran, or the first run you enjoyed, was there something bigger attached to that run? Something that you can always lean on when your next run seems pointless or too hard? Finding a deeper meaning will help you stay strong and committed. Listen to Your Body Learning about your body can be as important as learning about yourself. A healthy body will allow you to perform to the best of your ability. Whether you are working to solve a social issue, running your own business, or training for your hometown 10K, it is important to listen to your body. Ryan gives two suggestions from having been a professional athlete when it comes to listening to your body. The first is rest. Make sure to prioritize rest. The only way to perform at a high level is to push yourself and then allow your body to adapt to that level. Adaptation cannot come without proper rest. Again, make it a priority. Another critical aspect of body performance is proper fueling. Especially in the long-distance realm, getting down to a certain weight is a popular way to try to conserve energy. Avoid this trend. Your body knows best, and whatever weight it settles at, be comfortable with it. Focus on your performance, eat when you are hungry, and your body will figure out the optimal weight for you. Be like Bamboo There will be times when life throws you a curveball. Unexpected events are normal, so don’t let them take you off your path. “You want to be like Bamboo,” says Ryan referencing an ancient Samurai adage, “You bend but you don’t break.” Set goals for yourself, but be flexible. If you accept that there are many ways to reach your objectives, then you won’t be disturbed by changes you may need to make. Ryan was on a trajectory to become a great baseball player when he found running. Now that his professional running career is over, he has taken up weight lifting. With each transition Ryan finds a common thread that connects his current focus to his personality. For him, it’s all about taking on a new challenge. What is it for you? Praise Others Last of all, wherever you find yourself on your journey, it is important to praise others. As you do so you will find support from others, and the temptation to compare your journey to theirs will fade away. We are all on this journey together. Running can be a very individual sport, but it’s much more enjoyable when you have friends, teammates, coaches, and even competitors that you can share this experience with. We may all have different running callings, but we all have one.
