Today we chat with Ben Brockman about his love of running. Ben is an Exercise Physiologist (and running coach) who has pretty much always loved to run. This episode is full of gems we can all use to improve our enjoyment of our running - including make sure your easy day is an “easy day”!
One of Ben’s pet peeves in the running world is the pressure that some people feel to always be moving onto the next thing - the next longer running distance. You can find a distance thats great for you, you don’t always need to be looking to run further - unless you know why you want/need to do that. So know your “why”, so you don’t get burnt out.
The book that Ben talked about - Footnotes: How Running Makes Us Human by Vybarr Cregan-Reid - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/30115730-footnotes
Ben’s Running Tips - Start where you’re at and gradually do more, be patient, be consistent and let the easy days by easy!
