9-time ultramarathoner and 10,000+ miles. Helping dads run their next half marathon (or marathon) pain-free in 100 days.
Normal people need a reason to exercise.
Runners need a reason to rest.
We're built different.
Normal people replace shoes when they look worn out.
Runners calculate mileage obsessively and rotate 3 models of shoes to maximize performance.
We're built different. And our shoe collection proves it.
Your mind carries a backpack full of worries.
Running empties that backpack, step by step.
After 30 minutes, problems that felt massive become manageable.
Movement creates mental space.
Go for a run
The sun is just rising.
Two friends meet at a trailhead.
No phones. No distractions.
Just footsteps, breath, and real conversation.
The simple recipe for lasting friendship:
1 sunrise + 2 runners + 1 trail.
Modern comfort = weakness.
Every time you choose the elevator over stairs, delivery over cooking, or driving over walking, you're trading future strength for present ease.
Your daily decisions compound. Make the harder choice.
Your body at 45 isn't worse than at 25.
It's different.
My patience is greater.
My running form is better.
My recovery knowledge is deeper.
Rather than wishing I was younger, I celebrate what this version of me can do.
Normal people sleep in on weekends.
Runners wake up at 4am to get their long run done before anyone else is awake.
Normal people avoid the rain.
Runners see weather as part of the experience.
Normal people think we're crazy.
Maybe we are. And we love it.
Small movements add up.
A 10-minute walk daily builds more fitness than a 2-hour gym session every 2 months.
Your body responds to patterns, not random bursts.
Consistency creates real change.
Running partners see you at 5am when your hair's a mess and you can barely form sentences.
They know your actual pace, not your Strava highlights.
They watch you struggle, celebrate your wins, and understand why you schedule life around running.
That's deeper than friendship.
A 30-minute run releases more mood-boosting chemicals than most prescriptions.
Your feet already know the way to wellness.
Lace up and go.
Fitness terms don't matter as much as actual work.
Spend less time debating what 'cardio' means.
Spend more time sweating and getting results.
The best fitness pros focus on principles, not semantics.
Movement is medicine for the body (and mind).

Put on your shoes.
Go outside.
Run (or walk).
Come back calmer.
The most common cause of knee problems? Not running.
A sedentary lifestyle weakens muscles that protect your joints.
Studies show runners have less arthritis than non-runners.
Your body gets stronger with use. That's biology.
Comfort is making you weak.
Your cushy couch, AC blasting, and delivered meals are killing your resilience.
The solution? Daily discomfort through movement.
Run in the heat. Lift heavy things. Walk instead of drive.
Build toughness by choosing the harder path.
Most people avoid discomfort at all costs.
They take the elevator instead of stairs.
Order delivery instead of cooking.
Drive instead of walk.
But comfort breeds weakness.
Choose to do hard things.
Your future self will thank you.
The best conversations happen at 6am.
The best sunrises are seen in running shoes.
The best friends are made on trail runs.
The best life is lived in motion.
Some call it extreme.
We call it living.
The 4-week running breakthrough:
Week 1: Everything hurts. You question your choices.
Week 2: Small improvements. Tough but manageable.
Week 3: Body adapts. Mind follows.
Week 4: Running becomes the best part of the day.
Push through the hard part. The reward is worth it.
Normal people sleep in on weekends.
Runners wake up at dawn.
Normal people eat brunch at 11.
Runners finish up 15 miles by then.
Normal people think we're crazy.
We wouldn't have it any other way.
Running creates a natural state of meditation.
Your feet move.
Your mind wanders.
Your problems get smaller.
Solutions emerge.
This is your brain on running.
Most runners sabotage their progress by running too hard all the damn time.
Easy miles build your aerobic base.
Hard efforts break you down (which is good, occasionally).
Most of the time run at a pace where you can breathe through your nose and hold a conversation.
Your mind chatters constantly during runs?
Good.
Running activates both body and brain.
Those inner conversations shape insights, creativity, and solutions.
Let your mind roam while your feet move forward.
Normal people buy shoes twice a year.
Runners buy shoes every 300-500 miles.
Normal people sleep in on weekends.
Runners wake up at 5am for long runs.
Normal people think we're crazy.

Running taught me more about mental strength than any book.
Mile 18 of a marathon when your legs are screaming to stop.
That's where real growth happens.
You learn you're stronger than you think.
Most people avoid discomfort.
Runners chase it.
Most people need motivation to exercise.
Runners hate taking days off (but will to recover well).
Most people think we're obsessed.
But we're just built different.
Every runner you look up to started somewhere.
Maybe it was the treadmill at 3mph.
Maybe it was walking around the block.
The only wrong way to run is when you let others convince you not to start.
The fitness community needs less gatekeeping and more encouragement.
Road runners, trail runners, treadmill runners - we're all putting in work to better ourselves.
Don't let anyone tell you your miles don't count.
Running on a treadmill at Planet Fitness is just as valid as crushing mountain ultras.
Your lungs don't care where you run.
Your heart doesn't care where you run.
Your muscles don't care where you run.
Just go for a run.
No one starts as a natural runner.
The first weeks are pure discomfort.
But your body is learning, adapting, becoming stronger.
By week 4, you'll notice changes:
• Easier breathing
• Smoother strides
• Mental clarity
The temporary struggle creates permanent change.
Your easiest runs create your biggest gains.
Running slowly builds endurance, prevents injury, and lets you train consistently.
The best runners spend most of their miles at conversational pace.
Slow down to speed up.
