Running Fatherhood, Discipline, and Distance

In this episode, I sit down with Timothy Bass, a Marine veteran, father of four, and one of the most disciplined long-distance runners I’ve ever met. With a goal of hitting 5,100 miles this year and a consistent streak of 100-mile weeks, Timothy shares what it really takes to stay locked in, day after day.We dive deep into his running journey, from hitting the wall in his first marathon to running solo 50Ks, stacking years of mileage, and raising kids while running a business. He opens up about mindset shifts, recovery tactics, injury prevention, and the exact systems he uses to keep himself accountable.We also talked road vs. trail, race day rituals, nutrition, and what it means to run with purpose, not ego. Plus, Timothy joins me for a rapid-fire round and a fun segment covering his go-to gear, gels, shoes, and the one watch he’d never give up.If you're chasing consistency, struggling to stay motivated, or just want to hear what true discipline sounds like, this one will hit hard. No shortcuts. No drama. Just the real work behind real progress.
