In this episode of the podcast, I sit down with my good friend Phil Beeston to hear his running journey. Phil, born and bred in Launceston, shares how his love for running began and why he continues to lace up his shoes.
Growing up, Phil was heavily involved in basketball, despite not being the tallest person around. But it was when he started running that he truly discovered the impact it had on his physical and spiritual well-being. As a Christian, Phil found running, especially in the outdoors, as a way to connect with his faith.
Running not only helps Phil clear his head, but it also sparks creativity and ideas. Whether it's a more intense workout run with headphones in or a relaxed run without them, Phil finds himself in a state of flow where inspiration strikes. It's a time for him to let go of the noise and let his thoughts flow freely.
As a parent, Phil recognises the importance of setting a good example for his children. He enjoys having them join him for runs as a family, knowing that he's instilling the value of physical activity and showing them that running is part of their DNA. It's not just about the physical benefits, but also the mental health benefits that running provides.
Listen in to this episode to hear more about Phil's running journey, his involvement in events, and how running has become an essential tool in his toolbox for dealing with life's ups and downs.
Running tips from Phil’s -
1. Start with one step at a time: Don't overwhelm yourself by trying to do too much too soon. Take it slow and gradually increase your running distance and intensity.
2. Don't compare yourself to others: Focus on your own progress and don't worry about how fast or far others are running. Running is a personal journey, and everyone has their own pace.
3. Explore beyond the roads: Don't limit yourself to running on pavement. Venture into trail running and experience the beauty of running in natural environments.
4. Find joy in the process: Running is not just about the end goal, but also about enjoying the journey. Embrace the feeling of freedom and the mental clarity that running provides.
5. Set realistic goals: Challenge yourself, but make sure your goals are attainable. Start with small milestones and gradually work your way up to bigger achievements.
6. Listen to your body: Pay attention to any discomfort or pain. Rest when needed and don't push yourself too hard. Taking care of your body is essential for long-term running success.
These tips from Phil Beeston will help you kickstart your running journey and keep you motivated along the way. Lace up those shoes and hit the road with confidence!
