Getting sick as a runner messes with your head. You want to push through. You worry about losing fitness. You feel like you’re falling behind and need to “catch up.” In this episode, I talk honestly about being sick, stepping away from training, and learning how to return to running without forcing it. We walk through practical ways to support recovery — rest and sleep, hydration and electrolytes,...

There are seasons when motivation disappears completely. Cold weather. New training plans. Sore legs. Adjusting to different ways of running and lifting. In those moments, even discipline can feel tested. In this episode, we talk honestly about what keeps us moving forward when motivation is gone. Why motivation is a poor long-term plan, what discipline actually looks like in real training, and ho...

Starting a new training block often comes with a familiar side effect — soreness. The kind that makes stairs feel suspicious and sitting down a calculated decision. In this episode, we talk about how to deal with soreness when training changes, strength work increases, and your body is adapting to new demands. We break down the difference between productive soreness and warning signs, how to suppo...

Most of the work that makes you a better runner isn’t exciting. It’s quiet. Repetitive. And usually unseen. In this episode, we talk about what it really looks like to keep showing up when there’s no audience — boring miles, strength work, early alarms, and training days no one claps for. The kind of work that actually builds endurance, even when it doesn’t feel rewarding. Anchored in Colossians 3...

As runners, improvement feels good. Endurance builds. Confidence grows. Progress becomes noticeable. But growth comes with a quiet risk. In this episode, we talk honestly about what endurance running does really well — it exposes ego. The sport doesn’t care who you are, how confident you feel, or how solid your training has been. At some point, it strips you down and reminds you where humility mat...

Most runners love having a plan. Structure feels safe. Control feels disciplined. But real life doesn’t care about spreadsheets. In this episode, we talk honestly about why the “perfect” training plan so often falls apart—and why that doesn’t mean you’re failing. We explore the difference between discipline and rigidity, and how faithfulness often shows up not in executing the plan perfectly, but...

Some decisions don’t come with peace. They come with weight. In this episode, I talk honestly about what it means to finally pull the trigger on a challenge that has been quietly circling my life for a long time. One that carries real risk, real cost, and a very real possibility of failure. This isn’t about confidence or bravado. It’s about discernment. About counting the cost, preparing with humi...

Running isn’t prayer. And it doesn’t replace prayer. But it  can  create space where prayer becomes simpler, more honest, and less forced. In this episode, we talk about why prayer can feel hard for so many of us—including me—and how running can help remove the pressure to “say the right thing” or sound spiritual. Anchored in 1 Thessalonians 5:17, this conversation reframes prayer not as constant...

Easy runs are often the most misunderstood part of training. They can feel too slow. Too relaxed. Like they don’t really count. In this episode, we talk honestly about why easy runs matter far more than most runners—including myself—want to admit. We explore how low-intensity, ordinary miles build real endurance, protect longevity, and shape discipline over time. Anchored in 1 Corinthians 9:24–27,...

Winter has a way of forcing trail runners onto the roads. Snow covers the trails. Ice makes footing unpredictable. Daylight disappears. Life gets busy. In this episode, we talk honestly about why running on the roads during the winter doesn’t make you less of a trail runner — and how it can actually make you better. We break down the real benefits of road running for trail runners, how to transiti...

As we step into 2026, this New Year’s Eve episode is a reminder that hope doesn’t come from a date on the calendar—it comes from who we place our trust in. In this episode, Brad reflects on how we often treat the new year as a reset button, delaying change and putting pressure on January 1st to fix everything. Instead, this conversation invites you to slow down, reflect honestly on the year behind...

Feeling overwhelmed, behind, or stretched thin? You’re not alone. In this episode, Brad shares honestly about struggling with motivation, feeling buried by responsibilities, and learning to stop carrying miles he wasn’t meant to run yet. Rooted in  Matthew 6:34 , this conversation is a reminder that God doesn’t give strength for the entire race all at once — He gives it for today. Using running as...
