Real Life Runners with Angie and Kevin Brown
Angie and Kevin Brown are here to help real life runners to improve their running and their life through conversations about training, mindset, nutrition, health and wellness, family, and all the crazy things that life throws at us. The lessons that we learn from running can carry over into all aspects of our life, and we are here to explore those connections through current research, our experiences, and stories from real people out on the roads and trails, so that you can become a physically and mentally stronger runner and achieve the goals that matter to you. We are Kevin and Angie Brown, husband and wife, mom and dad, coaches, and runners. Angie holds her doctorate degree in physical therapy and uses running as part of her integrated fitness routine. Kevin is a marathoner who has been coaching runners for over a decade. Together, we want to help make running more accessible to more people, so that more people can gain the benefits of being a Real Life Runner.

302: Examining Suffering in Our Running
Today we want to examine the idea of suffering - why do we put ourselves through it? What is the cost, and is there a benefit? How can we use suffering to our advantage, knowing that we can’t avoid it, but also not put ourselves through unnecessary suffering that does not benefit us in some way?
Some people try to avoid suffering and make their lives and their training as easy as possible, which leads to lack of progress and not reaching their potential. Others seek out suffering for the point of suffering, which leads them often to overtrain, do dumb things, and get hurt. Or they put in a workout, just because it looks hard, even though it might not be the best choice for their current training cycle or experience.
Today we are going to explore the concepts of pointless suffering and beneficial suffering, so that you can use the suffering in running to your advantage.
