What is up fellas welcome back to commas over cool brew with me your host Emma Aver Hansen

Oh my goodness you guys today has to be one of my favorite episodes

I've done in a really long time maybe of all time and it is with global head coach of Nike running coach

Bennett or Chris Bennett, but he goes by coach Bennett pretty much

I'm sure you guys are familiar with him because if you have ever used the Nike run club app and you've done a

Guided run. He's the one that narrates the majority of those runs. He's a very calming voice

Honestly, I want him to be in my ear every time I go running because this episode not only motivated me

But it also just kind of grounded me and it just made me even more passionate about running

Just talking to someone like coach Bennett who is obviously super passionate about the sport of running and all levels of running

Anyways, I really hope you guys enjoyed today's episode because I know I did before we get into today's episode

I want to talk about one of my new sponsors of the podcast open open is a digital mindfulness platform combining breathwork meditation and movement

I cannot tell you guys how many times

People have told me to start doing mindfulness practices. I have talked nonstop about how high my cortisol levels are

I've talked to my therapist about it. Obviously people in my personal life about it

The number one thing a people have told me to do is get into a mindfulness and meditation routine

And when I discovered the app called open it has changed the game for me

I wake up the first thing I think about coffee. Obviously, it's the name of this podcast

But before I allow myself to have my coffee I wake up to my alarm

I grab my phone and immediately open the open app. They have a bunch of different classes under 10 minutes

So it's been super easy for me to like start a routine and stick with it with meditation and mindfulness

I can get really overwhelmed especially starting out because my thoughts are racing and I can't

Imagine meditating for 30 minutes. So every single morning I've been doing a five to 20 minute breathwork class
