THE HEAT IS ON!
Summer running can make you question everything—your pace is slower, your heart rate is higher, and every mile feels harder. But what if that struggle is actually making you a better runner?
This week on Running with James, we’re breaking down the science of running in the heat and why heat training can become one of your biggest performance advantages.
We’ll talk about:
The benefits and adaptations that come from heat training
How humidity changes your performance
Why your heart rate climbs when temperatures rise
How much performance you can expect to lose in the heat
Heat training vs. altitude training—and how they compare
Hydration, electrolytes, cooling strategies and safety
How to adjust your pace without sacrificing your training
How to use summer training to set yourself up for a stronger fall racing season
Stop fighting the heat. Learn how to train with it.
Because that slow summer mile might be building the fitness you’re going to cash in when the temperature drops.

Why do so many people start strong but struggle to stay consistent?
In this episode of Training Truths, Coach James dives into one of the biggest myths in fitness: the idea that you need motivation to succeed.
The truth? Motivation comes and goes. Lasting results are built on systems, habits, and the discipline to keep showing up even when you don’t feel like it.
Whether your goal is to lose weight, run your first 5K, complete a HYROX race, or simply live a healthier life, this episode will help you stop relying on fleeting feelings and start building routines that lead to long-term success.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why motivation always fades
- How to build systems that make consistency easier
- The difference between discipline and motivation
- What to do when you miss a workout
- Why discipline actually creates freedom
If you’ve ever found yourself saying, “I’ll start Monday,” or “I just need to get motivated,” this episode is for you.
Training Truth: You don’t need more motivation, you need better systems.

What if the hardest part of your fitness journey wasn’t the training—but the reactions of the people around you?
In the first episode of our new Training Truths series, Coach James sits down with Melanie to share her remarkable journey of losing more than 100 pounds and discovering a passion for running that transformed her life.
Along the way, she expected challenges like early mornings, sore legs, and tough workouts. What she didn’t expect was the criticism from people closest to her. From being told she’s “too skinny” to hearing she’s “addicted to running,” Melanie opens up about the emotional side of pursuing better health and learning to stay committed when not everyone understands your journey.
Together, we discuss the difference between discipline and obsession, why personal growth can make others uncomfortable, and how to remain focused on becoming the healthiest version of yourself without letting outside opinions define your path.
Whether you’re training for your first 5K, preparing for a HYROX race, or simply trying to build healthier habits, this conversation will encourage you to keep moving forward, even when the people around you don’t fully understand why.
Training Truth #1: Not everyone will understand your commitment, but you don’t need everyone’s approval to pursue better health.

Success isn’t built in a single workout, one race, or even one season—it’s built through consistency, patience, and trusting the work when the results aren’t immediately visible.
In Week 6 of The Performance Lab, we’re talking about one of the hardest lessons every athlete has to learn: trusting the process.
Whether you’re training for a marathon, preparing for HYROX, chasing a new PR, or simply trying to become a healthier version of yourself, there will be moments when you question if your hard work is paying off.
This episode is about learning to stay committed during those moments.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why progress is rarely linear
- The difference between results and growth
- How consistency compounds over time
- Why comparing your journey to others slows your own progress
- The importance of patience in long-term athletic development
- How elite athletes stay committed when they don’t see immediate results
The best athletes aren’t the ones who never struggle—they’re the ones who keep showing up, trusting the process, and allowing time to do its work.
💬 Question of the Day:
When has trusting the process paid off in your life or training?
Share your story in the comments—we’d love to hear it and encourage others in the community.

Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the right things—showing up, putting in the work, staying consistent—but somehow you’re not getting any better?
You’re not alone.
In Week 5 of The Performance Lab, we tackle one of the most frustrating challenges athletes face: the plateau. We break down the hidden reasons runners, HYROX athletes, and fitness enthusiasts stop progressing, even when they’re training hard.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why consistency alone isn’t enough
- The danger of training your strengths and ignoring your weaknesses
- How comfort can quietly stall your progress
- The role of fatigue, recovery, and life stress
- Why coachability matters more than talent
- How high-performing athletes continue to improve year after year
The truth is, most athletes don’t hit their ceiling—they hit their habits.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, frustrated, or like your progress has slowed down, this episode will help you identify what’s holding you back and how to break through to the next level.
Question of the Day:
Where do you feel you’re currently plateauing—fitness, mindset, recovery, consistency, or confidence?

With Special Guest Co-Host Leah Wyatt & Coach Lauren
Episode Description
In the world of running, HYROX, and endurance sports, we spend a lot of time talking about training plans, workouts, nutrition, recovery, and race day strategies. But what about the people who help make it all possible?
This week on The Performance Lab, James is joined by Coach Lauren and special guest co-host Leah Wyatt for a conversation about the often-overlooked side of performance: relationships, support systems, community, and the environment that shapes every athlete.
Together, they discuss:
- Why high performance is rarely a solo effort
- The impact of spouses, family, friends, and training partners
- Balancing ambitious goals with everyday life
- When training becomes identity
- The difference between commitment and obsession
- How community helps athletes stay consistent through hard seasons
Whether you’re chasing a marathon PR, preparing for your next HYROX, or simply trying to become a healthier version of yourself, this episode is a reminder that the people around you play a bigger role in your success than you may realize.
Because behind every athlete is a story—and often, a team of people helping them become who they’re meant to be.
High performance isn’t built alone.

Everybody loves the highlight reel: PRs, podiums, and race photos. But what actually builds great athletes? Pressure. Adversity. Failure. Fatigue. The moments when things don’t go according to plan.
In Week 3 of The Performance Lab, James is joined by Rocky and Coach Lauren to break down the mental side of performance and why adversity often becomes the greatest catalyst for growth.
The crew dives into:
• Why pressure reveals preparation
• The difference between discomfort and danger
• Why one bad workout doesn’t define you
• Mental toughness vs reckless training
• HYROX, compromised running, and composure under fatigue
• Why consistency matters more than emotional training
• Learning to stay calm when everything starts getting hard
This episode is for every athlete who’s ever struggled through a bad race, doubted themselves during training, or wondered if hard seasons were actually worth it.
Because comfort hides weaknesses.
Pressure exposes them.

Everybody wants to get faster… until training gets uncomfortable.
In Week 2 of The Performance Lab, James is joined once again by returning guest cohost Coach Tommy to break down why real growth only happens when you step outside your comfort zone, strategically.
This episode dives into the difference between hard training and reckless training, why easy runs still matter, and how runners and HYROX athletes alike must learn to adapt mentally and physically to stress, fatigue, heat, hills, threshold work, and discomfort.
The guys also discuss:
• Why consistency beats random heroic workouts
• The science behind adaptation and performance
• How HYROX and endurance racing teach composure under fatigue
• Why most athletes stay stuck in the “comfortable zone”
• How to push your limits without burning out
If you’ve been training hard but not improving, this episode may explain why.
“Comfort maintains. Stress adapts.”

Welcome to the first episode of The Performance Lab, a new Running With James series focused on building better athletes from the inside out.
In this episode, we break down the difference between simply working out and actually training with purpose. We dive into the mindset shift that changes everything: training in phases, building with intention, focusing on long-term growth, and becoming the kind of athlete capable of real performance.
Because better results don’t come from doing more…
They come from doing the right things, at the right time, for the right reasons.
We cover:
- Why most athletes plateau
- Training emotionally vs intentionally
- The importance of phases in training
- Recovery, structure, and consistency
- What it really means to “become the athlete”
This episode sets the foundation for the entire Performance Lab series—and for a smarter approach to training moving forward.
QUESTION OF THE DAY:
Do you train like an athlete… or do you just work out?

Jessica takes over the mic and flips the script, putting Coach James in the hot seat for a conversation you don’t usually get to hear.
We go beyond splits and training plans and dive into the real story: the challenges that shaped the journey, the wins that mattered most, and the losses that taught the biggest lessons.
Coach James opens up about what fuels his passion, how his motivation has evolved over the years, and the habits that have made the biggest impact on his performance and life. From race-day self-talk to the mindset behind coaching others, this episode pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to build not just strong athletes, but a strong community.
We also look ahead at what’s next for BC Fitness and the continued mission of building better athletes inside and out.
If you’ve ever wondered what goes on in the mind of a coach when the pressure is on… this one’s for you.

We’ve assessed. We’ve rebuilt. Now it’s time to fine tune.

From structuring your next training block to identifying whether you need more speed or strength, this episode is all about turning your hard work into real results.
And joining us this week is a special guest co-host… one of the originals… Rocky. Which means you’ll get solid coaching, real talk, and yeah—probably a little rambling along the way.
If you’ve been putting in the work and want to make sure it actually shows up on race day, this is the episode you don’t skip.

The season is over—but before you jump into the next training cycle, it’s time for a reality check.
You showed up. You put in the work. You stayed consistent…
So why didn’t the results match the effort?
In this episode, we kick off our Off-Season Blueprint series by diving into the most overlooked phase of growth: assessment. We break down the biggest blind spots that hold athletes back, training too hard, lacking structure, and neglecting recovery, and help you take an honest look at your own season.
This isn’t about criticism, it’s about clarity. Because you can’t fix what you won’t face.
If you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and start making real progress, this is where it begins.

Welcome to the very first episode of Coach’s Corner—a new Running with James series created exclusively for our Patreon community.
In this episode, I sit down with two of our own, Coach Carlos and Coach Lauren, to pull back the curtain on what it really takes to pursue performance while living a full life.
We go beyond workouts and race results and dive into the conversations athletes don’t always have out loud—inner dialogue in the middle of a race, how to respond when things get hard, and the mental battles that show up when life and training collide.
We also talk about the reality of balancing it all—family, work, responsibilities—and what it looks like to stay consistent when everything in life is pulling at your time and energy.
This isn’t about perfection. It’s about perspective, discipline, and learning how to show up as an athlete in the middle of real life.
If you’ve ever felt the tension between chasing goals and managing everything else on your plate… this one’s for you.
“Real athletes. Real conversations. Real life.”

This week on Running with James, we sit down with BC Athlete, keynote speaker, motivator, and author Terry Williams for a powerful conversation about rhythm, growth, and sustainable performance.
As hometown race season heats up, we explore what it really means to push your limits without losing yourself in the process.
Terry shares the philosophy behind his book Life in Rhythm and the framework he now brings to audiences nationwide — including his “Yellow Light Lifestyle” message from the lululemon run club tour:
- Green Light (20%) — Push the pace. Go after it.
- Yellow Light (80%) — Show up with discipline, but don’t force it.
- Red Light — Rest. Recover. Reset.
We talk about:
- Becoming your best without burning out
- Seeking purpose beyond performance
- Choosing growth instead of comparison
- Dwelling in confident cadence
- Why most athletes confuse intensity with progress
This one isn’t just about racing.
It’s about building a life and training rhythm you can sustain.
If you’re chasing performance, purpose, or simply trying to stay consistent through race season, this episode will hit home.

In today’s episode of Running with James, we break down one of the hottest topics in hybrid and endurance racing right now:
The release of the new Puma Deviate Nitro Elite HYROX race shoe.
With major brands officially stepping into the HYROX-specific market, what does this mean for race day strategy? Is a dedicated HYROX shoe necessary? And how should athletes think about choosing between a carbon-plated racer, a hybrid trainer, or a more traditional run shoe?
We dive into:
- What makes the Puma HYROX drop significant for the sport
- Race day shoe vs training shoe — why they shouldn’t always be the same
- Carbon plate benefits (and when they’re overkill)
- Grip, stability, and compromised running in HYROX
- Our personal favorite race day shoes right now
- What we actually train in week to week
If you’re preparing for HYROX, a marathon, or just trying to dial in your gear, this episode will help you make smarter decisions — not just trend-driven ones.
Because the right shoe won’t fix bad training…
But the wrong shoe can definitely slow you down.

We talk about the 80% all the time — the easy miles, aerobic base, discipline, and patience.
But this week on Running with James, we’re talking about the 20%.
The hard stuff.
The uncomfortable reps.
The moments that separate the novice from the great.
In Part 4 of Coach’s Clipboard, we break down why 80/20 only works if you respect the 20% — the intensity that sharpens you, exposes your weaknesses, and teaches you how to execute under pressure.
Inside this episode:
- Why the 20% builds competitors, not just fitness
- Getting comfortable being uncomfortable
- How to train hard without training reckless
- Why composure under fatigue determines race-day results
- The difference between surviving workouts and training to race well
Pressure doesn’t create weakness — it reveals it.
If you want to race well, you have to learn how to stay composed when it burns.
Train easy enough to go hard.
Train hard enough to matter.

•Why “going easy all the time” can stall progress
•How to assign a goal to every effort
•The danger of vanity runs and chasing numbers for likes
•How Garmin data can help—or hurt—when it starts bullying your mindset

In this episode of Coach’s Clipboard, James pulls back the curtain on one of the most common mistakes he sees with runners and hybrid athletes:
Training more… and getting worse.
From extra miles and unnecessary intensity to skipping recovery and chasing fatigue, this episode breaks down why “more” often leads to stalled progress, injury, and burnout.
You’ll hear real coaching conversations, athlete patterns that show up every season, and the difference between productive fatigue and destructive overload.
This is the stuff coaches talk about off the clock — the conversations that don’t make Instagram.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, constantly tired, or confused about why your fitness isn’t translating on race day, this episode is for you.
Topics covered:
- Why adding volume isn’t the same as adding progress
- The warning signs you’re overtraining (before injury hits)
- The difference between being tired and being under-recovered
- How smarter training beats harder training every time
This isn’t about doing less.
It’s about doing what actually works.

Stepping into a new season of training, leadership, or life often brings an unexpected feeling: Maybe I don’t belong here.
In this episode of Running with James, Coach James opens his clipboard and talks honestly about imposter syndrome—what it really is, why it shows up when you’re leveling up, and why feeling unready is often the clearest sign that you’re growing.
Drawing from real coaching conversations with athletes navigating new goals, bigger stages, and higher expectations, this episode reframes discomfort as development and fear as part of the process—not a reason to quit.
If you’ve ever hesitated to step into something new because you felt underqualified, behind, or unsure… this conversation is for you.
Coach’s Clipboard is a series dedicated to the conversations athletes need—but rarely hear on social media.
Topics include: imposter syndrome, mindset, growth, endurance training, hybrid athletes, confidence through commitment, and long-term development.

Season 5 starts with a reset. We’re talking New Year goals that actually stick, how to build a real plan instead of relying on motivation, and why letting go of old habits is the key to leveling up. Sometimes good isn’t bad—but it can still be the enemy of great. If you’re ready to stop repeating the same year and start running, training, and living with purpose, this season is for you.

You can Google workouts, training plans, nutrition advice, and race strategies in seconds—but does that actually make you better?
In this episode of Running with James, we tackle the question every athlete asks at some point: Can Google coach you? We break down the difference between information and transformation, why more data doesn’t always equal better results, and what’s missing when you try to train without real feedback, accountability, and context.
If you’ve ever felt stuck despite “doing all the right things,” this episode explains why coaching isn’t about having answers—it’s about having the right guidance at the right time.
🎧 Perfect for runners, HYROX athletes, and anyone trying to level up without burning out.

This week on Running with James, we wrap up our Back to the Basics series with the mindset that separates casual runners from champions: consistency.
Motivation gets you started—but discipline keeps you going. In this episode, James and Lauren talk about how to build lasting habits, stay consistent through the ups and downs, and develop the mindset that leads to real growth.

Whether you’re training for your first race or your next PR, this episode will help you push past the mental roadblocks and find the discipline to keep showing up—even when you don’t feel like it.
👉 Because motivation is a spark, but consistency builds champions.

No medal. No crowd. No finish line. So why keep pushing?

You’ll learn:
•Why training without pressure can lead to massive breakthroughs
•How to build a champion’s mindset even in the off-season
•The difference between being goal-driven and race-dependent
•Simple ways to set purpose-filled targets between races

You trained. You traveled. You were ready to race. Then… everything changed.
In this episode of Running with James, we share the behind-the-scenes story of our trip to HYROX NYC—where canceled waves meant no race and plenty of unexpected emotions. But what started as disappointment became a powerful lesson in perspective.
We’re diving into what it really means to face setbacks in racing, training, and life—and how to flip the script when your plans fall apart.
You’ll learn:
- How to process disappointment without letting it define you
- Practical tools to shift your mindset when things go sideways
- Why setbacks often lead to greater strength, clarity, and purpose
- The difference between failing and getting feedback
- How to build the kind of grit that outlasts any obstacle
Because sometimes the plan changes… but the mission doesn’t. And when you respond with resilience, every setback can become your greatest setup.

What is Running With Purpose 365 and The 365 Concept?
"We Build The Best Version Of You So You Can Live The Best Version Of You". Hello, my name is Dustin Weaver, and I am on a mission to change the world and transform the face of addiction. One out of three people who engage in alcohol use or overuse are at significant risk of destroying their lives and losing their livelihood, regardless of their background. This silent problem is rarely discussed, and most people refuse to address it until it becomes severe. For most of my life, everything has been a blur due to alcoholism. I am determined to stay sober and help others suffering from the same disease find a new life. Purpose: My purpose in life is to help others live a better life, filled with purpose, and to help them become the best versions of themselves so they can live the best version of themselves. WHY: The number one reason I run is because it keeps me focused, clear-headed, and sober. Running is my form of recovery.

Running is definitely a mental sport, and we know that once we let those negative thoughts in, they can quickly send us backwards as our thoughts spiral out of control.
We have all been there.
That moment in a race when you start to believe the “I cant do this” thoughts and the desire to slow down or heaven forbid, stop.
Before you know it, you are questioning why you put yourself through this. Then you go even further and start to question your sanity; “why would anyone PAY to do this?”.
Today we share some of our tough race experiences and discuss how to overcome those negative thoughts.
If you have a tactic that you find especially helpful, share it with us in the Instagram comments. Maybe your suggestion will be what really helps another runner!
