Welcome to Coach Bennett's podcast, where every run has a purpose, where kindness is

hardcore, where this is about running, and this is not about running, where every starting

line is a finish line in disguise, where rambling still gets you where you need to be, where

pineapple will never ruin your pizza, and the sodas, adult and not adult kind are always cold,

and where there is room on the starting line for everybody.

I'm Coach Bennett. Thank you for letting me be a part of your day. Let's get started.

Welcome to another episode of Coach Bennett's podcast. This is episode 136. I'm struggling right now

Maranathon.

I'm not really sure what we're going to call it, but the inspiration is the same, regardless

of the title, and that is breaking down hopefully not just

breaking down breaking apart and then throwing away some of the dumb stuff that I hear

runners say or people pretending to be runners or people that are pretending to be coaches

or people that are something in between and are trying to influence runners or people that are pretending to be coaches or people that are something in between

and are trying to influence runners or coaches. I'm not really quite sure. But, you know, it's,

it's hard in this day and age because we are inundated with information because of social media

and all of the various aspects that surround social media.

So, you know, you've got videos and short form content and long form content.

Then you've got, you know, 250 character little posts.

And sometimes you've got slightly longer ones.

And it's just relentless really even if you

try your best to stay away as much as possible you do find this getting put in front of you
