17 years ago I finally made the decision to give up drinking alcohol. This was not a decision that came quickly or easily, I had been drinking daily for many, many years. I got to a point where my life was not what I wanted it to be. I wanted more for myself and alcohol was standing between me and the person I ultimately wanted to be. So today on the podcast, how I experienced freedom from alcohol, got my life back, and became healthier and happier than I ever thought possible.

There’s a lot of interesting food advice being given out these days by health and fitness “experts.” One in particular that has stood out to me lately goes something like, “Take a few days each week and go crazy! Eat whatever you want! You don’t want to be too restrictive with your diet!” I’ve learned a lot about this principle in the last few months and today I share my thoughts with you about it. In this episode of the Running Lean podcast, I explain the problem with eating whatever you want and offer a better way to do things.

Have you ever found yourself at the end of a sleeve of Oreos or at the bottom of a bag of potato chips and thought…did I really just eat all that? If so, then you have probably been doing some mindless eating. Mindless eating is something we have all done at one point or another, and it’s something you can absolutely change. So today on the podcast, what mindless eating is and how to stop the mindless eating once and for all.

If you’ve ever trained for a marathon then you know that sacrifices have to be made in order to achieve that goal. You have to put in a lot of hours on the weekends running in the cold. You have to give up time with your family and friends. You are more than willing to sacrifice these things in order to run that race. How about when it comes to losing weight? What are you willing to sacrifice in order to hit your weight loss goal? In this episode, I take a deep dive into the kinds of sacrifices we all have to make in order to lose weight and keep it off.

A lot of runners are told not to lose weight while training for a race. There are many reasons why they are given this advice (which I cover in today’s episode), but I don’t necessarily agree with all of it. I believe there’s a right way and a wrong way to lose weight as a runner, even when you’re training for an event like a half or full marathon. In this episode of the Running Lean podcast, can you…and should you lose weight while training for a race?

If you've ever changed your eating habits or started exercising on the weekends instead of partying, and your friends have told you that you're boring then this episode is for you. Every day I talk to people who want to lose weight and improve their health and fitness and one of the reasons they struggle is because it all seems so boring. They don't want to give up their exciting lives will all the exciting food that goes along with it. In this episode, I share some unconventional ideas about how being boring can actually be good for you.

If you want to lose weight and keep it off, you probably already know that you have to change your diet. But if you think you can change your diet but not your thinking, you are always going to struggle. So today on the podcast, if you want to change a behavior and make it last, then you have to change how you think.

Whether you are just getting into running or have been at it a while, you should be actively working on improving your endurance.

As runners, we’ve been told over the last 40 years or so that the only way to fuel for running is with carbohydrates. Loads and loads of carbs. The thing is, this approach just doesn’t work for everyone. Some people (like me) gain a lot of weight eating all those carbs, regardless of how much we run. In this episode, I offer an alternative way to fuel long-distance running, one that doesn’t cause you to gain weight in the process.

Recently I spent a week on vacation and decided to change my diet a bit. I made the decision to eat more freely, to enjoy some of the amazing local food, to eat dessert, bread, pastries, and generally be a bit less strict about my diet. It was definitely an interesting experience and I learned some very valuable lessons along the way. In this episode, it’s all the lessons learned from vacation eating for a week - the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Being overweight is not something that’s not talked about very much (or at all) in the running community. There seems to be some stigma around being a runner and being overweight. In this episode, I'll share why running is not a very effective tool for weight loss, and why you need to treat the underlying physical, mental, and emotional aspects of overeating if you really want to lose weight for good.

If you’re a runner and interested in getting the most out of your training, then you’ve probably tried a multitude of supplements.

Today on the podcast, I've got a few simple suggestions for supplements every runner should be taking that actually improve your health and fitness.

There are a lot of dieticians and weight loss coaches out there who preach the benefits of tracking your food. They suggest tracking every bite you eat, entering all of your food into an app each day, and then sticking to this routine for…basically…ever. Today on the Running Lean podcast, I answer the big burning question: should you be tracking your food? If no, why not? If yes, how should you do it?

There are basically two ways to approach any challenge. One way is to focus on all the reasons why you can’t do it. The other way is to focus on all the reasons why you can. Today, talk about why you do this, how this kind of thinking is keeping you stuck, and how to stop arguing for your limitations.

Most people spend a great deal of time thinking about the past. They ruminate over things they did that they regret doing. They focus all of their energy on past events and spend zero time or energy on their future. This is a mistake. Why? Because you can’t change the past, it’s over and done with. But you can 100% change your future, so that’s a much better place to focus your energy. So this episode is all about remembering your future so you can make that future a reality.

Sometimes, I have a bunch of thoughts that I want to share with you here on the podcast and I’ll create an episode for each one of those random thoughts. This is a great way of taking a deep dive into each topic and looking at it from several different angles. However, today’s podcast is going to be a little bit different. Instead of focusing on one topic, I’ve got several random thoughts about weight loss for runners that I want to share with you here today. They might all be seemingly random, but they do all focus on weight loss and running so maybe they’re not so random after all!

Most people come up with all sorts of excuses, reasons, and stories for why they can’t accomplish something hard. You set out to lose weight so you change your diet but you eventually slip back into old habits and your new way of eating goes out the window. When you ask most people why they […]
