Thank you for the motivational content. I am a schools Superintendent and started a “Walk Streak” for interested staff. I challenged them to a mile a day from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day. I am a run streaker and closing in on 1,400 days. Coach Bennett has been with me many of those days. Thanks again, Andy Kowalczyk Superintendent of Pinconning Schools

thank you for episode 77. This is exactly what I needed to hear right now.

Hey Coach Bennett, just wanted to say thank you for your amazing podcast content. As you say, this is about running and it’s also not about running. Your advice has helped me conquer multiple marathons and get through some really tough personal times. Appreciate you and all you do. Catch ya on the next starting line!

Thanks for the great content! You motivated me on a grey rainy day to get out and run my intervals I would like to ear more about keeping motivated with the slowing down due to aging Thanks Alex from Québec

I'm only starting to run and someone recommended this podcast, listened to 4 episodes and I love it but what are your best tips to start running? I'm 40 physically v well, 5ft11 and 70kg so ok weight and want to be a runner....where should I begin?

amazing podcast! I discovered Coach Bennett’s podcasts on NRC app during the pandemic and he’s guided me through literally thousands of miles of runs. Highly recommend!

Thanks for the “racing your best” episode! I’ve got a half marathon on Sunday and I think I can do it faster than my original goal (which was basically: survive). If, big if, I can maintain my mental toughness when it hurts. I appreciate the talk!

I ran my first 10k yesterday at the KC marathon. I used the 10k training plan in NRC. The race went awesome! Your last episode on running your best race was so helpful! All the advice including coach Tammie's suggestion of asking myself, can I get a little more uncomfortable right now, helped me feel so mentally prepared and I had so much fun. I also beat my goal time by 27 seconds, which was 5 minutes faster than I've ever run it. Thank you for the training in Nike Run Club, and for the wisdom via your podcast! -Megan Sneed

hi coach bennett! thank you for the podcast! i just started listening to it after running with the NRC app for ~2 years. i’m currently trying to build up my mileage to do an early spring half marathon (and also for winter mental health benefits). thanks for doing what you do!

wow I now see I am repeating myself but this was fantastic! It was on my easy run today and helped me relax- and the more I relaxed the faster I ran. (Or maybe I was running with the wind behind me instead of in front of me). But thank you and Tammy for inspiring me to see myself as enough while I try to be faster 🤩

Just wanted to say thank you Coach for all that you do! You are so positive and encouraging. You have so many amazing quotes that apply to running and life. My favorite is “Struggling means successfully not giving up”. Wow. Chills! Thank you for bringing so much positivity and happiness to the running community. We appreciate you!

this was awesome! I love the podcasts.

great podcast

Love the episode today. Went for a run this morning and hit a brick wall for the first time in a while so I needed this! - Gianpaolo, NY

I love this podcast. Today I saw a sign and thought "this is for coach bennett" so here it is: "in a lifetime of change, technological revolutions and new somethings or others; there will always be sprinkles." Anyway. Always take your ice cream with sprinkles.
