Hi Path Menders, This week I bring you my discussion with the amazing Josh LaJaunie. Josh is a self described plant-eating, miles-logging, WHODAT from Bayou Lafourche with an appetite for life! He is an inspiration after truly mending his own path. Weighing over 400 Lbs, Josh started his journey because he wanted to lose some weight, but more importantly, to shake things up a little by providing some change in his life as a way of coping with a stressful period. However, the path he started down turned into so much more. Now Josh is a ultramarathoner (an ultramarathon is any race longer then a marathon length) with many races in the rear view mirror. In September 2016 he finished third in the Wildcat 100-miler in Florida and he was recently featured on the cover of Runner's World magazine, after winning their 2016 cover model search. This is a great show you don't want to miss. - Today Josh and I discuss (show notes): - What life was like in 2010 (1:16) - The desire for change (4:31) - The first steps (yet again) (6:34) - A new approach (7:52) - Running takes off (10:00) - Reaching a plateau and overcoming with new goals (14:12) - 40 days of eating clean in 2013 and eye opening books and movies (15:41) - A race "reward" that lead to lasting change (18:11) - Best to avoid slippery slopes (21:33) - Performance improvements after flicking off the animal products "switch" (27:39) - Pain is like an essential nutrient (32:05) - Vegan "fake food" transition (35:45) - Calorie deficits but nutrient dense (36:31) - Struggling with and reconciling the 'new" versus "old" you and the impact on your relationships (37:25) - Setting appropriate goal posts (40:53) - On being and setting a good example (43:05) - On hunting (45:48), - Advice for you: really start loving yourself (50:44), and, - The switch has been duck-taped and how far it's brought him (55:03) Thanks for listening!

Running is not new to this blog or podcast. In fact, I've done episodes on various aspects of running before (listen to Episode 20, Episode 25, and Episode 32.) But a couple of things have changed since I last talked about running on the podcast. First, I am just about to complete my certification as a Level I Running Coach through the RRCA. I've been wanting to do this for a while and was so excited to take the course. I had a great time with the cohort. Second, one of the main reasons I wanted to get certified was so that I could bring that knowledge to some therapy running groups I am working on starting. Even though I have been running through years and feel that I can be helpful to runners when building a program...I really wanted the information and knowledge to do it in a way that just wasn't relying on my experience since every runner is different. So, in this episode: I talk briefly about my coaching certification process. I share my desire to start therapy running groups in my practice. And I review the 4 key components of self-care that running engages. Please listen and subscribe to my podcast in the following places, and then leave a comment letting me know what you liked about the show, or what guest you would like to hear from.

Did you hit the gym today? Good! Our guest Rich Roll did as well, but he may have stayed a little longer... As one of the Top 25 fittest men in the world(!) according to Men's Fitness magazine, Rich does not do anything halfway. A former lawyer who changed his life after one fateful and frightening walk up the stairs, he has become a popular podcaster and a #1 bestselling author with Finding Ultra: Rejecting Middle Age, Becoming One of the World's Fittest Men, and Discovering Myself. Oh, and I guess we should mention that he once completed the Epic 5 Challenge—performing five ironman-distance triathlons on five Hawaiian islands in under one week. Hear how ultra endurance is inevitably linked to ultra focus and why Rich credits mindfulness for keeping him moving when it' may seem impossible.
