Shelley Aniciete has been running for over 20 years, starting in high school, just for fun and fitness. She’s run hundreds of road races, but is just now starting to focus on improving her time and compete with herself. She loves all things fitness & nutrition related, being outside, hiking around the globe with her husband, rescuing pitbulls, coaching other runners & has spent 17 years as a Public Defender in Chicago, the city she very proudly calls home.

I interview Elisabeth Scott, host of the popular show, The Running Explained Podcast. Whether you are a new or experienced runner, there is always something new to learn about training, racing, nutrition, recovery, gear, and more. Elisabeth provides evidence-based answers in Q&A episodes plus special guest interviews with subject-matter experts.

In our conversation, Elisabeth Scott tells us about the work she does educating runners, what’s stuck out to her after interviewing so many experts, and how her viewpoints have changed as she learns more about different running topics.

I talk with Josh Berube, Boston Qualifier and Knighton Lion about the triumphs and tribulations of training for and racing his first marathon.

As competitive runners seeking personal bests, we are constantly looking for ways to improve.

One easy way to get better in running that athletes often overlook is to take a significant break after their season’s goal race.

Taking time off will allow your body to fully heal and benefit long-term from all your hard work.

You need to schedule time off into your training calendar, just like you do for your base building phase, workout phases, taper, and race dates.

Rushing too quickly back into running after a peak performance will likely result in performance stagnation, mental burnout, or injury.

Do you trust your experience, believe in yourself, and have faith in your strategies? On this week’s episode of The Knighton Runs Podcast, I teach how to do just that.

Does Running Get Better with Age? I interview Barry Karch, host of the new podcast, Running For Your Life: The Podcast for Mature Runners.

How to get motivated?

How to put in the behind-the-scenes work to perform at your best?

How do you stop negative self-talk?

How do you become focused and mentally tough?>

How to put yourself in a position to compete and win?

Having the right mindset is essential for success, whether that’s in sports, work, business, or life. Barry Karch from The Real Estate UnSalesperson Podcast brought me onto his show to answer these questions!
