For those of us who always work best under pressure, we are now busy doing the planning for this new year, the part we should have done in December of course. But I always feel so motivated in January, so for me, these first few days are the best for making plans. I have this great new planner - the same as the last four years - it's blank, empty, clean pages and there are so many opportunities to fill those pages with interesting stuff I want to try out. So as I am planning, sorting out what I will spend my time on, how many hours a week on the different projects, what my goals will be and what actions I will have to take in order to reach those goals, I start reflecting. And I thought I would share some of those reflections with you.I am design thinking my way into the new year.By the way; check out my new website!  https://storiesforthefuture.no/Bill Burnett's TED talkBook: Designing your life, by Bill Burnett and Dave EvansFor all resources and everything mentioned in the episode, go to Storiesforthefuture.noThere you can also sign up to receive my newsletter and to get noticed every time I release another episode.InstagramLinkedInFacebook

For most of us, our decisions don't carry the weight of one that faced Deena. In 2006 she had to make a difficult decision – Win the Boston Marathon or run the London Marathon and push the marathon record out of reach. She talks to us about how her dog helped her make this decision and how she trained to break the American Marathon Record at the 2006 London Marathon. The American Record is one of many accolades for Deena - an 8-time National Cross Country Champion, 8-time collegiate All-American, 4-time SEC Champion, two silver medals in World Cross Country Championships, Women's Road 10 mile record, Women's 15K record, Women's 8K record. Additionally, Deena is an author, of Let Your Mind Run: A Memoir of Thinking My Way to Victory https://amzn.to/3gDITRC and is currently working on writing a cookbook.

If someone is a champion in their personal life, their work or sport, what are the thought processes that drive them? What do these people have in common? And what can we learn from them that we might be able to try in our own lives? The high achievers featured today have all overcome obstacles, challenged themselves and pushed themselves beyond their comfort zones to achieve a goal that was important to them. In a world where everyone is looking for the magic pill and the quick fix, these people are here to tell you that success doesn’t come overnight—but if you develop a champion’s mindset, you will find yourself on the path to success.

After college, Deena traveled to Amarosa, Colorado to train under Coach Joe Vigil. That's when her running took off. To discover why and how this happened (it wasn't better training), Deena joined me on the Strength Running Podcast to discuss the mental journey she's taken throughout her career. Our conversation focuses on several topics: How to turn negative thoughts into positive thoughts - while running or in everyday life Why Deena used to race "with fear" (and how she recovered from this dangerous mindset) The mental expectations she's had to abandon to reach higher levels of performance How to "participate in the process" rather than overly worry about results These are all major themes of her award-winning memoir Let Your Mind Run: A Memoir of Thinking My Way to Victory.

Deena Kastor joins James Rogers in conversation in downtown Chicago. Deena is a three-time Olympian and the American women’s record-holder in the marathon (2:19:36). At the 2004 Athens Olympics, she captured a bronze medalist in the marathon for the USA. Deena wrote a fantastic book! “Let Your Mind Run: A Memoir of Thinking My Way to Victory” released in April. This talk covers her writing and editing process, plus much more on her career and penchant for food. Deena resides in Mammoth Lakes, California, and serves as president of the Mammoth Track Club. Her husband, Andrew, is the track club’s head coach, and two MTC members (Alexi Pappas and Sarah Attar) are competing in Sunday’s Chicago Marathon. Deena will be at the finish line handing out medals and congratulating finishers of the 26.2-mile race. Deena encourages you to get your copy of “Let Your Mind Run” at a local bookstore, but—believe it or not—you can also purchase it on Amazon.

A mom of one, Deena tells how her first post-baby run made her “entire body tingle with joy,” then moves into sharing the struggle of striving to be “a gold-medal mom and a gold-medal runner.” She tells how her summer training schedule differs from her school-year one. (Spoiler alert: Her weekly mileage doubles once school starts!) Find out which race was “a major suffer-fest” for Deena, and the granular tactics she used to persevere to the finish line. Marvel as Deena tells about the impediments leading up to her setting the U.S. Masters Marathon record at the 2015 Chicago Marathon—and how, in the final miles, she broke that race into manageable chunks. Thanks to an insightful question from Tish, Deena reveals how writing her memoir was the “hardest finish line” she ever reached. Deena shares countless pieces of advice for putting positivity into action. Find out what Deena’s word for 2018 is—and laugh along as Deena and Tish inadvertently come up with a title for the cookbook we hope Deena authors next! All this, and so much more!

COACH JENNY - EPISODE 40 - Let Your Mind Run with Deena Kastor Deena Kastor is one of the world's most extraordinary female athletes. Her career is earmarked by her groundbreaking 2004 Olympic Bronze Medal in the marathon in Athens, Greece, which shattered a 20-year medal draught for U.S. women in the event.  Yet, her accomplishments don't stop there. Deena is currently the American Record Holder in the marathon (2:19:36) and half marathon (1:07:34) and has held American records in a distances from 5K to the marathon.  Deena's win at the 2005 Chicago Marathon was highlighted in the inspiring documentary, Spirit of the Marathon. Deena followed that momentum to win the 2006 London marathon which ranked her #1 in the world that year. In 2014 Deena set 5 world masters records in one race during the Philadelphia Rock ‘n' Roll Half-Marathon. Deena has a reputation for bringing her very best self to the starting line while simultaneously inspiring excellence in everyone around her. She did just that with her new book, Let Your Mind Run, A Memoir of Thinking My Way to Victory.  You can't help but shift your thoughts to the positive when reading her book.    TIMELINE HIGHLIGHTS: 1:46   WRITING ‘LET YOUR MIND RUN' 8:16   PERSEVERANCE WHEN TEMPTED TO QUIT 13:24 HAVING PATIENCE WITH OUR DEVELOPMENT 14:43 STARTING A MINDFULNESS PRACTICE 20:29 EXCEDING EXPECTATIONS 21:42 RESPONDING TO FEAR WITH COURAGE 23:27 HOW MARATHON RUNNING TEACHES US TO DEAL WITH FEAR  25:29 THE ROLE VISUALIZATION CAN PLAY FOR RUNNERS  28:47 THOUGHTS WHILE RACING IN THE 2004 OLYMPICS 34:07 LEARNING FROM OUR INJURIES 40:42 NAVIGATING THE CHALLENGES OF PARENTHOOD    KEY TAKEAWAYS: The principles that make us better athletes also makes us better human beings.

Meet your fears with courage.     ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: Let Your Mind Run: A Memoir of Thinking My Way to Victory   GUEST BIOGRAPHY:  DEENA KASTOR I have been running since I was 11 years old and have learned over the years that there is no greater influence on success than the power of optimism. When we are positive, we master our physical potential. The power of our own thinking can open doors and elevate our performances. With optimism I have been able to pursue every goal, win medals, earn American and world records, but more importantly, I've been able to be resilient in the face of injury and falling short. Optimists are dreamers, believers and solution seekers. I believe that these lessons are universal and not running exclusive.

Deena Kastor grew up a running phenom and a highly recruited student athlete. In college she struggled to maintain the momentum of her high school running career and seriously considered dropping out of the running world to pursue baking. Good thing she decided to give it one last go. Through hard work, an open mind and the right people in her life, Deena turned the corner and found the magic bullet that allowed her to fully tap into her potential – as an athlete and a person - the power of a positive mindset. Deena competed at the top tier of distance runners for over a decade, winning countless races from the 5k to marathon. She still holds the American records in the marathon, 10-mile, 15k and 8k. Deena ran all the way until she found out she was pregnant with her daughter Piper in 2010, and she’s running again, chasing masters records and crushing them. Be sure to cheer for her this weekend at the Boston marathon. I reconnected with Deena recently when I read her new book, "Let Your Mind Run: A Memoir of Thinking My Way to Victory," which launches today on many outlets – basically anywhere books are sold. It is a truly incredible, emotional, educational book about the power of positive thinking in sports. Of course I was drawn to how someone as seemingly as invincible as Deena has had to work hard to tap into the positive power inside of her, that at times, she strongly doubted. Some highlights from our conversation: Growing up a runner Skin cancer: Facing your own mortality Being a mom to Piper How your greatest gifts can often be your greatest disappointments Being "all in" in everything. The key? Turn off your phone! Aging as a runner: what to expect (or not expect!) Positivity: How do we create more positivity in our lives? Deena's new book "Let Your Mind Run" - available now! What I love about Deena is that she is wise and full of amazing advice that she’s learned the hard way, but she’s also real and human and approachable. She has a newfound perspective on what is truly important in life and I can literally feel it as I talked to her. I think that her final nugget “Pay attention to your thinking” is so compelling and can help all of us gain just a little bit of that perspective she’s worked hard to achieve.
