s5/e26 (RE-RUN) How to Stop Comparing Yourself to Other Runners with Coach Nick

The Running Explained Podcast

We're bringing back an amazing re-run episode with Coach Nick Klastava from Season 3, and it's just as relevant and inspiring now as it was then. If you enjoy this episode, check out Nick’s other podcast, Between Two Coaches, which he co-hosts with Coach Amanda Katz (also from Running Explained). You can find it on all major streaming platforms.


Comparison is the thief of joy... so why do we spend SO much time & energy comparing ourselves to others? To other runners, to other versions of ourselves. Coach Nick Klastava is here this week to help us understand WHY breaking free from the comparison trap is actually one of the best things you can do as a runner, why copying another runner's training isn't very helpful, why paces aren't the be-all-end-all, and what we can all learn from the best of the best.
