0:00.0	Welcome to Coach Bennett's podcast, where every run has a purpose, where kindness is
0:16.8	hardcore, where this is about running, and this is not about running, where every starting
0:22.6	line is a finish line in disguise, where rambling still gets you where you need to be, where
0:28.6	pineapple will never ruin your pizza, and the sodas, adult and not adult kind are always cold,
0:35.5	and where there is room on the starting line for everybody.
0:39.3	I'm Coach Bennett. Thank you for letting me be a part of your day. Let's get started.
0:45.1	Welcome to episode 119 of Coach Bennett's podcast. This one is entitled Getting Ready for the Big

2:00.5	started? I think we should get started. This is rhetorical question So should we get started?
2:01.8	I think we should get started.
2:03.4	This is a rhetorical question.
2:04.6	Should we get started?
2:10.0	So my first question from a coaching point of view, okay, when I'm talking to an athlete about race day, is, are you ready?
