Brace yourself! (that's a super funny joke about this week's pod....) This week is a Holly Stables special where we talk about all things Speed Project before she jogs off into the sunset via some horrendous roads, deserts and bitey things. This episode has some ace questions for you lot plus a brilliant conversation about what we shall call Inspiring Comparison - the stuff that lifts us up and keeps us pushing in a super positive way. To keep up to SPEED with Hollys fun adventure you can follow @thespeedproject @rushbynature and search Make Running on YouTube. You can also watch the new Barkley documentary 'The Edge of Possible' on YouTube now.

Damos back! And he's fresh of a 40-mile race that he DIDN'T win....so we have a great opportunity to talk about who DID win, and how an elite athlete see's comparison and competition. Huge congrats to Ellis Davis and big ups to Limitless Trails for their excellent events. There's a good chat on comparable races actually ARE when there are so many variables, and we answer a couple of listener questions and talk about the incoming Northern Traverse and how that feels different to Damos FKT.

Podcast favourite Kirsty Reade is back as my co-host and it doesn't disappoint! This week we're talking about why Kirsty didn't actually want to cover comparison as a topic - and what that has made her find out about herself, why thinking "I'm onto you" is a sign your in the comparison trap, and how upward social comparison may make you a better runner. We also ask how can we make comparison bring out the best in us as opposed to the worst in us and find out why Kirsty is once again taking on the 200-mile beast that is The Northern Traverse. PLUS there's a bit of homework for you all - we would love to hear ho you are getting on!

Welcome back dear listener! It's time for season two - and this season theme is COMPARISON! I'm joined by my co-host and coach Holly Stables (AKA the hot woman on the treadmill) for a quick catch up to find out why she's wearing a ski suit in the gym, what she's been up to since the last time we chatted and to go through whether Comparison can ever be a good thing (we think it can). We also answer - or try and answer - some of your questions and give you a bit of homework - remember it's not Strava, IG or Garmin Connect making you feel shit - it's your thoughts about that stuff.

It's the end of season special, and I have only gone and got the King of Consistency, The Master of Change Brad Stulburg on to talk to me about sustainable excellence and the mindset stuff that takes people from bang average to sort of OK at running. We cover everything from tragic optimism to activation energy and discuss the differences between consistency, motivation and action and ask is discipline really a dirty word? I loved this interview and want to thank you all for your amazing questions - let us know what you think by leaving a comment and see you all next season! I really hope it was helpful. Please send us your questions and conundrums and let us know what you think about consistency via our Instagram (@runningwontsaveyoupod) or on email runningwontsaveyou@gmail.com. We would also love you to leave us a review wherever you get your pods. Running Won't Save You is proudly sponsored by INOV8.
