Get ready to rediscover the joy of running and redefine what it means to be a woman on the run. Join me on this adventure, and let's explore how running can be a catalyst for positive change.

Katherine Dreyer, co-founder of ChiLiving, joins us on the podcast today to explore how we can integrate the principles of ChiRunning into all aspects of our lives. While running (or walking) is our passion, let's face it for a big percentage of our life, we’re doing something else. So since ChiRunning principles can significantly enhance our runs, how can they apply to the rest of our lives? Imagine applying the Chi principle of 'body-sensing' off the trail—how could it deepen our connection to ourselves? Tune in to our conversation as Katherine shares insights on how to apply these principles and reap their benefits.

How do you run without the toes on your one foot?

However, everything changed when she discovered ChiRunning. This episode explores how ChiRunning not only transformed Catherine's running experience but also played a pivotal role in her life, helping her overcome challenges and rediscover joy in running: Catherine lost all the toes on her one foot due to surgical complication - but thanks to ChiRunning, she still runs.

Today’s topic aligns perfectly with the season theme of 'Redefine' as we explore today how focus reshapes our running experience. Did you know our attention span averages 8 seconds? Yes, that's a second shorter than a goldfish! So much for Ted Lasso's 'be a goldfish, Sam' pep talk after a blunder, right?
We're all in the same boat, pulled by the allure of 'pretty things.' Our focus is a precious commodity, and we hold the reins on where it goes. If, like me, you're eager to find a solution to that persistent craving for another dopamine hit, stick around.
What we really want is a quiet brain. A calm brain. Maybe physical exhaustion after a hard or long run is currently your ticket to finally feeling the calm settle in. So often we run to feel better physically and mentally but more often than not we return feeling disillusioned when the results of what we typically track (such as pace and distance) seem ‘blah’. We then feel frustrated and to top it off the mind still feels wired from the 2-3,000 thoughts we experienced during the hour we were running. Retrospectively, we noticed we had a difficult time connecting with the run.
We need a solution to our TikTok brains.

On the last episode, I talked about the transformative power of ChiRunning, exploring how it's not just about the miles but really the mindful connection between your body and mind. I called it a system upgrade.
So I want you to imagine taking this 'system upgrade' this profound shift in your approach to running, and extending it into an immersive experience. That's exactly what the Run Aligned ChiRunning Retreats are all about. They were born out of the desire to provide a space for you to fully embrace this upgrade, both physically and mentally.
As I tell you about the origin story of the retreats today, keep in mind that it's not just a narrative about events; it's a journey that mirrors the transformation you can experience. They can really be a catalyst for redefining not only your running but your entire approach to well-being. Ready? Click play.

Don't let negative thoughts prevent you from reaching your running goals
Self Doubt is often founded in fear: fear of measuring up to others, other runners, what we see on social media. But mostly, I think it’s fear of not measuring up to our own idea of what it means to be a runner.
I’ve compiled 5 steps to help you Master Your Mind.

Another episode for your runner’s ‘tool belt’ to help you reduce your risk of injury and increase your joy of running physically and mentally. Today is all about the core and why understanding proper core engagement is so important. Before learning this I used to have achy hips ( not while running necessarily) but throughout the day especially in the morning. As a matter of fact at 40 I thought I needed hip replacements and I hadn’t even started running yet. My chiropractor and PT both said it was hip bursitis and we looked for stretches to help alleviate the pain but it never went away. That is until I learned how to level my pelvis and engage my core because it reduced the extraneous motion I was making when walking and running.

There’s a tendency in our society to value ‘no pain, no gain’ that we neglect to create a mind-body connection. Establishing a connection between our mind and body is the most rewarding thing we can do as an athlete (yes you and me) because as we listen to our body we can teach it new habits.

Welcome to episode 121 of MRM - the podcast that helps you run with more joy. In today's episode, I share a guest talk I did in a coaching colleague’s running community. The theme was 'Making Friends With Running,' a topic close to my heart. I discuss my intentional approach to running, treating it as an experiment, and the concept of 'giving more than you take from running.' Shifting your mindset from 'getting something' from running to 'giving to it' can lead to a more fulfilling running experience. If you want to enhance your relationship with running, email me for personalized recommendations.
Thanks for joining me today, and remember, it's not just about what you gain from running, but also what you give to it.
Run well, be well.

In this episode, we're diving deep into the fusion of running and mental health therapy with a special guest, Sarah Strong. A mental health therapist and accomplished ultra runner, Sarah brings a unique perspective to the conversation. She aligns closely with my belief in self-compassion and embracing the joy of running.
Sarah underscores the potent role running plays in bolstering mental wellness. The act of running triggers the release of endorphins, amplifies serotonin and dopamine levels, and even contributes to our physical health. Moreover, running serves as a canvas for processing complex emotions, aligning our mind and body, cultivating self-awareness, and honing stress management skills. Just as therapy challenges us to overcome mental barriers, running empowers us to believe in ourselves and realize our potential.
However, it's crucial to discern that while running offers immense benefits for mental well-being, it's not a substitute for therapy. Sarah emphasizes this point, highlighting that therapy equips us with invaluable tools and guides us in reshaping our thought patterns. While running has numerous advantages, it can also amplify mental health challenges if approached inattentively. The release of stress hormones during running can be beneficial with proper rest, but adding stress to an already demanding situation can have counterproductive effects on mental health.
Recognizing signs of burnout, stress, or emotional distress is pivotal. If you find yourself associating relaxation solely with exercise or experiencing negative emotions when skipping a workout, these signals might suggest the need for guidance from a mental health therapist.
During our conversation, Sarah unveils the micro tools she shares with her clients to empower them to excel in races. Tune in to uncover these strategies that blend mental and physical wellness, setting the stage for success on your running journey.

- Running's Mental Wellness Impact
- Running vs. Therapy

In this episode, we welcome back Melody Bateman, a runner, ultra runner, and run coach, who shares insights on zone 2 training and 80/20 running. Melody debunks the misconception that "harder is better" and highlights the benefits of zone 2 training for overall health and fitness.
In the second part, we explore the art of 80/20 running, where Melody explains the balance between easy and hard workouts. Surprisingly, starting with a training split like 90/10 or 95/5 can be more effective for building a solid foundation. We also hear Stine's personal experience with Melody's coaching and how the 80/20 approach transformed her training journey.
Tune in to unravel the science behind these training methods and optimize your own fitness routine.
Top Takeaways from this episode:
- Why harder isn’t always better (and also, when it is!)
- The unexpected benefits of Zone 2 running

Let’s talk about weight gain. How do you deal with it? Does it mess with your mind? I spent many years cycling in and out of disappointment with myself when my weight fluctuated. Listen to how I deal with it today and how it’s made a huge difference.

Today, I’m sharing an episode that aired last summer. It’s a conversation between myself and two retreat clients as we wrapped up a week-long running retreat here in Wyoming last year. Have you wondered about participating in a retreat but maybe ‘worried’ if you’ll be able to do all the runs? Or maybe what the running expectations of the retreat are? So I want to talk to you about that today.

How’s your trust in new things? I recently made the commitment to switch to 80/20 running which come without a timeline. This requires me to strengthen my trust muscle and trust the process.
“Stine teaches women runners how to have their own back by showing them how to notice their limiting thoughts, the ones that have been unconsciously running their lives and kept them stuck. Kept them from really enjoying their runs - their lives. Because that’s what she taught herself. “

Melody Bateman is a runner, an ultra runner and a run coach. A couple of years ago, I interviewed her for her ultra running story (episode 9) but today, I'm talking with her to learn more and to share with you listeners all about building a solid foundation for your running. Listen in as Melody and I discuss heart rate running/ zone 2 running.
I bring up all my own ‘fears/ worries’ as I transition to zone 2 running myself and chances are you’re feeling what I’m going through too - so tune in!
We talk about the importance of easy running w/ hard efforts sprinkled in versus zone 3 running - AKA the ‘black hole’ of many runners. If you’re not already convinced of the importance of zone 2 running, if you’re new to zone 2 running you’re going to want to listen to this episode (I bet even if you’ve been at 80/20 running for a while, you’ll still enjoy this episode).

Today’s episode is an interview with a fellow woman runner. Lisa turned 50 a couple of years ago and we chat about this chapter of our life and what it means to us. She is a run coach who loves coaching women to love running and celebrate finish lines they never thought possible. She is a distance runner and has covered ‘all’ the distances: 50K, 50 miles, 100K, 100 miles.

On this episode I’m sharing the 3 skills that have truly helped me evolve my running practice.
- Turning the mind into your biggest ally
- Feeling good physically by learning good running form
- Creating flow by embracing slow
I teach women runners how to have their own back by showing them how to notice their limiting thoughts, the ones that have been unconsciously running their lives and kept them stuck. Kept them from really enjoying their runs - their lives. Because that’s what I taught myself.

Right now you might use running as a punishment for food you’ve eaten. I was taught that exercise is necessary to burn off calories so I could eat more or shrink my body. Were you taught this too? The diet industry wants us to believe this. With this outlook, running becomes the vehicle for something ‘negative’ ie. burning calories. It's very hard to create joy from running when our reason for doing it is negative in the first place. What if you could run and do exercise simply because you like it. Because it makes you feel good?

Today I’m talking about my journey into heart rate training and the two main reasons for pursuing it: improved performance and better health. Switching to zone 2 running is appealing thanks to tag lines like “go slow to become faster’. For many runners having to run slow, often much slower can be a cause of anxiety for runners. Listen in as I share how to manage these thoughts so you don’t have to hate zone 2 running or give up on it.

Today I’m sharing about an upcoming resource that I’m putting the finishing touches on.
“Negative self-talk is any inner dialogue you have with yourself that may be limiting your ability to believe in yourself and your own abilities, and to reach your potential. So negative self-talk can not only be stressful, but it can really stunt your success.”(Verywellmind.com)

Listen in as I talk to Emily. She is not your average runner and I love to share her journey with you because I think one of the reasons she’s been able to accomplish what she’s accomplished is she’s been mindful in her approach. In her words she’s been a consistent runner for about a year and a half and she’s already accomplished a half marathon, a full marathon and an ultra marathon (a fifty miler) - and is working towards her next big goal. Double that. You read that right: 100 miles!

Desire or guilt - what motivates you to run? For the longest time, guilt was a constant companion of mine especially when it came to working out. It was uninspiring and burned me out. I didn’t really know of any other way of being though. Can you relate? Do you rely on guilt as a motivator?

“Plant seeds of expectation in your mind; cultivate thoughts that anticipate achievement. Believe in yourself as being capable of overcoming all obstacles and weaknesses.” (Norman Vincent Peale).
Today I’m interviewing Holly, a client of mine. She’s my first interview in a series of women runners turning 50 in 2023 (because I turn 50 this year). Holly shares how running has shaped her view on turning 50. She shares her involvement with the organization Girls On The Run. I titled this episode “Positivity with an Impact” because of the positive ripple effect Holly is creating in her life and the lives of others through her commitment to mindfulness, running and wellness. Spoiler alert: we talk about her upcoming trip to Wyoming this summer to participate in my retreat Running Aligned Body and Mind 2023.

Lately, I’ve been connecting with the ease and flow of my running routine. And it feels so amazing.
“Running has become a means of experiencing a personal potential greater than physical development. Your running workouts take you inward, away from outcomes and results, as you begin to test your limits, experience inner changes, identify your personal rhythms, and work out to your own inner beat.” (Jerry Lynch and Warren Scott)

Mahatma Gandhi said “A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes.” Confidence is this inner assurance that we gain from trusting ourselves - it is not to be confused with being conceited. It comes from showing up for ourselves and following through on our word. Are you confident runner friend?

Today I want to talk about the concept of ‘the process being the goal’ as opposed to only achieving the goal.
One of the reasons I used to hate running was because I was focused on being done with the run - I would go for a run and be so focused on being back home that I hated what I was doing. I was only outcome oriented and I didn’t like the process.

Running often becomes meaningless when your intention is only to conquer the miles, the mountain, the track with your body simply to achieve fast times and long distances.
Selecting the right metrics for what to use for your runs can connect your body-mind-spirit - choosing the wrong ones can separate you from feeling this connection.
About a year and a half ago, I was asked to author a blog post for a women’s fitness community. A blog post on mindfulness and the role it plays in women’s health and fitness. I want to share the blog with you today because the content is still relevant and some of you out there might be able to relate to this. This was my journey into including mindfulness in my life.

3 Step Guide to Grateful Running: https://mailchi.mp/b8aeba6477c1/runnershigh
Why do you run?
- Running is such a great tool for personal development because much like yoga what happens within us on the run is a reflection of how we deal with things in all areas of our life.
- Running provides an opportunity to practice dealing with tough situations in one defined area of our life that we can then bring to other areas of our life.
- Consistently putting ourselves in these challenging situations proves to us that we can handle hard situations and we can bring those skills into our day-to-day life.

How do you want your runs to feel?
-
I wanted to improve so much - and I used to focus on what wasn’t working so I could make myself do better - but everything stayed the same until I added self-care and these 3 daily practices.
-
For my client Vanessa things had gotten so normalized and she didn’t even realize how much negative self-talk was happening until she joined My Runner’s Mind : ‘I had a habit of very negative self-talk, in running and beyond, and sometimes I didn't even realize I was doing it because of how normalized it was.
The shift, especially in my mindset, has been massive..Now this also allows me to show up with more confidence, presence, and compassion in my relationships and all other areas of my life
