THE RUNNING EFFECT PODCAST

In today’s episode of the podcast, I have the privilege of speaking with my friend Coach Jay Johnson. Jay recently released an incredible and useful course for high school runners on mental skills! This course features high-level professionals and coaches who all discuss mental skills and how they can benefit your training. Jay outlines this course in detail in this episode and we also touch on many other beneficial subjects as well. We go in-depth about why sleep is CRUCIAL if you want to reach your potential in this sport, the qualities of high-performing athletes, and much more! This episode is decently worth a listen specifically if you’re a high school athlete, you’ll find many benefits from the subjects discussed within the episode. I also highly recommend checking out Jay’s brand new state-of-the-art course on mental skills. Please like, subscribe, and share with your friends if you enjoyed today’s episode!

Have you ever wondered "What are some of those 1% things I can do to become a better runner?" Well, as my guest Brian Livingston scientifically describes, one of these things is fueling. And in my opinion, fueling may be a lot more than a 1% difference. Being properly fueled not only puts you at an advantage, but is actually necessary to perform well in the first place. As Brian so eloquently describes, Maurten can be that proper fuel for your gas tank.  In this episode you will learn: * The difference between Fueling & Hydration  * Why carbohydrates are crucially important for athletes  * The science behind how Maurten works and why it's superior to every other fueling brand * Why it's important to fuel for training and even distances as short as 1500m  * The benefits a younger runner can gain by using Maurten's products  I hope you all enjoy science class with Brian Livingston! This one was a blast to record, and Lex, Leo, and I are all very passionate about how well Maurten's products work. Let us know in the comments if you've ever used Maurten before (:  Please like, subscribe, and share with your friends if you enjoyed today’s episode!

“To put it succinctly, I’m ready to hang up the spikes and dive into those other passions. I’m just excited to dive into my career and build a life beyond running.”  A personal note: Robert has been one of my favorite runners since I first got into running. His grit and determination are on full display when he trains and races. His no-BS attitude, but yet kind heart has always been attractive to me. From the minute I first talked to Robert I was immediately impressed by his sincerity, kindness, and openness. I very rarely scream at the TV, but in the 2021 NCAA 10k championships, I found myself doing exactly that with 100m to go. Why was I displaying emotion at an event I had no control over? Because I know Robert and how hard he works and how badly he wants to win at whatever he does in life. Similarly, when I first found out that Robert was taking a step back from the sport of running, I shed a tear or two. While I’ll be sad to see his absence from the sport I cherish, I know he will take his passion, determination, and grit that he learned from running and apply to this next stage of his life. As the saying goes, “When you close a door another one opens”.  So thank you, Robert. Thank you for all you’ve done to push our sport forward. Thank you for being unabashedly yourself. Thank you for the countless kids you’ve inspired to take up this sport. Thank you for leaving the sport better than you’ve found it.  S H O W   N O T E S  -Robert’s Instagram: https://instagram.com/robertbrandt?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=  -Our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therunningeffect/?hl=en  -Liquid IV (USE CODE “THETHERUNNINGEFFECT” to get 25% off): https://www.liquid-iv.com  -Stoke Performance Nut Butter (Use Code "THERUNNINGEFFECT" to get 10% off): https://stokeperformance.com/

Over the past years of podcasting, there are clear attributes that I hope every guest I have on has. Some of these are that they are inspirational, well-thought-out, enthusiastic, joyful, lighthearted, and full of wisdom. Emily Cole checked every one of those boxes because of that, this is one of (if not the) favorite podcast I’ve ever recorded! Behind the 88k followers on Instagram and 7.8 million likes on TikTok is a genuinely amazing human being. The 60-minute conversation that Emily and I had yesterday, is full of nuggets of wisdom. We dive into her wildly successful life from running, NIL, and her latest book, “The Players Plate”. We also touch on the importance of being well-rounded, why a strong support system is crucial in life, how her family has impacted her, life wisdom from her sister Julia Cole, and so so much more! This episode is packed from beginning to end with inspirations and stories that will inspire you to chase after those goals in life. This conversation truly left me walking away with a smile on my face and I’m confident it will do the same for you (: I will be having another conversation with Emily later this month for a deeper dive into her book, “The Players Plate”. So stay tuned for that! Until next time, enjoy my wonderful conversation with the wonderful and ever inspiring, Emily Cole!
