  • 288. Dumb Stuff Runners Do (And What to Do Instead)
    Jul 4 2025

    We’ve all done it—worn cotton socks on a long run, tried something new on race day, asked a Facebook group to diagnose our injury. Runners are awesome… but we also do some pretty dumb stuff sometimes. The good news? Every dumb mistake is just an opportunity to learn and grow. In this episode of the Running Lean podcast, I’m laying out Dumb Stuff Runners Do (And What to Do Instead)—a light-hearted but brutally honest look at the common mistakes runners make that can lead to injury, burnout, or stalled progress. No judgment here, because I’ve made most of these mistakes myself. This is all about helping you train smarter, stay healthy, and become a stronger, more efficient runner. If you’re ready to stop doing dumb stuff and start running with purpose, this episode is for you.

  • 287. How to Eat for Fat Loss Without Losing Performance
    Jun 27 2025

    One of the biggest myths in the running world is that you can’t lose fat and keep running strong at the same time. Well…I’m here to tell you that’s just not true. The key is learning how to fuel your body so you burn fat efficiently and support your training and recovery. In this episode of the Running Lean podcast, I’m breaking it all down for you in How to Eat for Fat Loss Without Losing Performance. You’ll learn exactly what types of foods promote fat loss (and which promote fat storage), why you don’t need all the carbs all the time, how to time your carbs around your runs for maximum fat burning, and how to hit the right calorie intake without crushing your energy. If you want to drop fat, get leaner, and keep running strong—this one’s for you.

  • 286. How to Train Smart When It’s Stupid Hot
    Jun 20 2025

    Summer is here, and that means the heat and humidity are officially in full swing. If you’re training for a race or just trying to stay consistent with your running this time of year, you’ve got to adjust your approach. Trying to run the same way you do in cooler weather can lead to frustration, fatigue, or even dangerous health issues. In this episode of the podcast, I’m talking all about How to Train Smart When It’s Stupid Hot. You’ll learn how running in the heat affects your performance, how to shift your mindset and expectations, how to hydrate and fuel properly, what to wear, and how to stay safe while still making progress in your training. Plus, I’ll share why heat training can actually improve your performance for those cooler fall races. If you want to keep running strong all summer long—this episode is for you.
