Becoming a consistent runner is hard. You’re struggling to find the time to run. Irregular and demanding work schedules, kids and other commitments make it difficult to give running the time it needs. You have nagging injuries that just won’t go away or experience pain when you run more than 5 or 10-minutes. You’re constantly disappointed with your lack of progress and running just doesn’t seem to get any easier. You get out of breath quickly and wonder why the hell you’re inflicting this pa ...

The last episode answered the listener question, "How many days should I run?" That answered the question for someone at the very beginning of their running journey, but the answer is different for a beginner who is six months along. This episode answers the same question for that runner but also explains how to build running mileage even at three …

Today, you find out exactly what you should do, and I mean you, personally, should do on Day 1 of your running journey. Today, is your diagnostic run. In this podcast, I explain what to …

I’ve been hearing the phrase, ‘turtle power,’ for years, always from slower runners, usually in an upbeat, positive way, an “I’m fine with that” way, but sometimes they utter the words apologetically, and that makes me sad. Often, these are beginner runners, but not always. It is my hope that after listening to this podcast, no one listening will e…

Weight loss – or management – plays a role in the life of virtually every runner. Either they start running to lose weight or they’ve already lost weight, and they want to become a runner to help them maintain that weight loss. Too, some runners run because they’re worried that their weight will gradually creep up if they don’t get lots of exercise…

When beginner runners don’t succeed, it’s usually the result of one of two problems: They get injured and conclude their bodies can’t handle it. They don’t enjoy running; they dread the workouts. When you do it the way I’ve set out in this series, there is no doubt but that you’ll feel good during and after the workouts, mentally and physically. Th…

Many beginner runners don’t warm-up because they think the only reason to warm-up is to prepare to run fast; they know they don’t run fast, so they skip the warm-up. That is a big mistake, but I absolutely understand how a beginner runner might arrive at the conclusion that, for them, a warm-up is unnecessary. You must realize that it’s all relativ…

The single most common beginner runner complaint I hear is that they can’t breathe. Often new runners say they struggle to breathe because they feel like they’re breathing through a straw; they say they just can’t get enough air, and that’s a miserable sensation, right? If you’ve ever been in that situation, you will find answers in this episode. T…

It’s not unusual for coaches of beginner runners to disregard form in lieu of total emphasis on building endurance. I believe the opposite is the far better, more effective route, Why learn to run with bad form? Why? It makes no sense. The easiest time to focus on form is when you’re only running a few steps at a time. Plus, the better the form, th…

You need a plan. You wouldn’t set out on a road trip without a map because the chances of arriving at your destination, assuming you hadn’t been there before, would be zero. There are far too many possibilities and far too many possible directions. Well getting started running is somewhat like that. While most people think it’s as easy as running a…

Every runner of every level needs a constant stream of motivation, and while that may seem to be a challenge, the fact is that once you establish the habit of running, which experts say takes 28 days, then the habit takes over, and you only occasionally need more of a boost than that. Truth is, the longer you run, the more ingrained that habit beco…

Weight loss is the number one reason that people start running, and number 2 is not even close. In our world, people just don’t move enough, anymore, and that creates a problem. We need to move a lot to burn enough calories. Many people want to run to lose weight, and many run because they don’t ever want to have weight to lose. It’s safe to say th…

Let’s change it up. I got to thinking that beginner runners really need to listen to these podcasts in order, at least the first few, but, unfortunately, often people only listen to the most recent. For that reason, I decided to combine the most critical and basic information from the first 35 episodes into what I’m calling my 10-Day Become a Runne…
