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 push through rejection?

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!

In today’s episode of The Knighton Runs Podcast, I share how I radically transformed my daily routine and approach to running over the last 30 days, and teach how you too can become EXACTLY the person you want to become in just 30 days.

The Boston Marathon is the best marathon in the world. In this episode of The Knighton Runs Podcast, Coach Chris teaches how to break down the race into three distinct segments, explains how you should feel in each town, and describes what you should be thinking as the race progresses from Hopkinton to Newton to Copley Square.

Running race pace in training always feels 10x harder than it actually will during your race. If you’ve got a big goal race coming up and you feel like you are barely hanging on right now, then take a sigh of relief, trust the process, and know that you can do it. Believe in yourself. This week’s episode of The Knighton Runs Podcast is all about cumulative fatigue and why, “YES,” you can run your race pace for the entire race if you’ve been following a good training program.

How do you find the perfect balance between working hard and recovering enough so that you consistently move towards your goals?

On this week’s episode of The Knighton Runs Podcast, I chat with Alex Burke, PT about how to stay injury free while chasing big goals!

Not every day is going to be sunshine and rainbows. 

Some days you will wake up in the dark, it will be cold and snowing outside, and your training plan says “go do a track workout.” 

What do you do?

If you want to get better, you’ve got to embrace the challenge.

There are so many factors that are going to affect how to best prepare for your first marathon. Who you are, your experience level, your ability, your age, your goals, and your timeline are just some of the things you need to take into account when planning out your training.

On this week’s episode of The Knighton Runs Podcast, Running Coach and YouTube Creator Jane Springston shares her 10+ year journey from “just finish” beginner marathoner, to qualifying for the Boston Marathon, to coaching others to do the same.

In this episode, we give you the strategies you need to get started training the right way. We discuss the importance of longevity in the sport of running and how to improve from training cycle to training cycle.

When you continually challenge yourself and do the work that you love, the person you are today is vastly wiser and more experienced than the person you were just a few years ago.

I certainly feel this way when it comes to how I coach my athletes.

On this week’s episode of The Knighton Runs Podcast, I chat with my friend and fellow running coach Jessie Gruca about the biggest lessons we’ve learned over the years as coaches and how those lessons have shaped us into the coaches and people we are today.

You’re running day after day, putting in the miles, getting in the workouts, but despite all of that your everyday easy run pace just isn’t getting faster! How do you know if your training is working? In this episode of The Knighton Runs Podcast, Coach Chris teaches four signs of increasing fitness that are not pace related and explains why your easy run pace is simply not a good indicator of increasing fitness.
