S3E12: The Truth About Running's Biggest Clichés

from The Consistently Good Podcast · host Bare Performance Nutrition

Jeff is closing out Season 3 of the Consistently Good Podcast by taking on some of running’s most repeated clichés. From “no pain, no gain” to “run slow to run fast,” Jeff breaks down what’s actually useful, what can get runners into trouble, and why better training usually comes back to the same things: perspective, patience, and showing up consistently.CHAPTERS:00:00 Running Clichés Are Everywhere02:32 The Four Types of Clichés05:10 Can You Really Get 1% Better Every Day?12:50 The Problem With “No Pain, No Gain”16:25 What “Embrace the Grind” Gets Wrong22:45 Is Pain Really Weakness Leaving the Body?24:30 When Comparison Helps and Hurts31:55 “Just Worry About Us”35:09 The Worst Nutrition and Body Image Clichés40:32 Does Running Slow Really Make You Faster?43:36 Do Summer Miles Bring Fall Smiles?45:15 The Race Is Not Always to the Swift47:13 Closing Out Season 3Become a BPN member FOR FREE - Unlock 25% off FOR LIFE ⁠⁠https://www.bareperformancenutrition.com/collections/performance-nutrition⁠Bat City Track Club is an emerging national class and regionally elite team with a primary focus on distances 5,000m to the marathon.⁠https://www.batcitytc.com/⁠FOLLOW:IG: @theconsistentlygoodpodcastYT: @theconsistentlygoodpodcastJEFF CUNNINGHAM:IG: @jdcunningham97BAT CITY: @batcitytrackclubThis podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be considered legal [health or profession] advice.
