A love for running
In my adulthood, I’ve always struggled with running. I grew up playing competitive soccer which lead to me being a pretty consistent runner (I mean obviously right you have to run in soccer). As I got older, I stopped running. Every time I tried to start again, I’d get so angry with myself for not being as good as I once was. I’d give it an honest effort for a week or two then stop saying “I’m just not a runner.” (This issue probably also coincides w the fact that every coach growing up used running as a punishment soooo) But then at the wise, old age of 26 - I found coach Bennett through NRC. I started doing guided runs with him and began to fall in love with the sport. He taught me to slow down, to look around & enjoy my surroundings, to mix it up & to find happiness because even when I feel slow, “every run has a purpose.” Coach Bennett is just a lovely human and this podcast showcases that even further because “this is about running and it’s not about running.” This man is the real life Ted Lasso. If you need a little happiness & positivity, you will certainly find it here.

I ran XC in high school, then stopped. Ran on and off through various periods in my life but never was part of “the community.” Coach Bennett has rekindled my love of running, helped me start running again in a strong and safe way, and has me on my way to be a true “runnerd” as he’d say. I love...Read full review »
