How would you define a runner? Do they have to have a specific body type, run a specific distance, or complete so many races before they can earn that title of "runner"? This week I chat with Vanessa from She Runs by the Seashore and we talk about her background in running and the myths that beginners believe about what makes a "real runner". Enjoy!

Run with Purpose

Am I a Runner? | ep017

Far too often we are told that we can't do something or we aren't good enough. This episode is here to let you know you can do anything you put your mind too. My wonderful guest Robin joined me this week to talk about her "Yes I Can" story and provided some insight on how you can get away from the naysayers and live to your full potential Robin IG - www.instagram.com/rockinrobin.fit Connect with me on the socials @Flores.Run FB - www.facebook.com/Flores.Run Instagram - www.instagram.com/Flores.Run Podcast details at www.flores.run/runwithpurpose 

Yes I Can | ep039

This podcast started with the idea of getting comfortable with discomfort. Funny enough however, we haven't talked about how to embrace being uncomfortable. This week I have an old friend, Kaitlyn, on the show. She talks about her life story and how embracing the uncomfortable has lead her to growing in all areas of her life.

Uncomfortable | ep038

What is a traditional runner? What is a traditional anything? We can let labels and stereotypes define the things we "can" and "can not" do. This week on the show we continue with the "reddit racers" series with Payton (thanks for the name). We talk about her journey as a runner and how she keeps pushing herself to new challenges and finding new and exciting adventures even though she doesn't "fit the mold". I had a blast having the conversation with her and I hope you enjoy it! Connect with Payton on Twitter www.twitter.com/paytonchrissy You can the video version of the podcast on my Youtube channel.

Traditional | ep037

Things can seem to continually pile up. Sometimes we just need to hit reset and take a hold of the situation. This week I talk about how I plan on using current circumstances to hit reset and take a hold of the rest of the year. What do you need to reset from? I'd love to hear from you so leave me a DM!

Reset | ep036

Sometimes we have to realize that we aren't living to our full potential and need to push ourselves to the next level. This week I start my reddit stories series with Oleksander from PA. He talks about his realization to do more and how that ended up with him running a marathon. His story is motivating and will help push you out of your own comfort!

Push yourself w/ Oleksander | ep035

Even the lone ranger needed Tonto! It's so easy to get in our own way and fall into our blindspots without someone there to help us see them. This week I have Jason Daily from Anchored Leadership on the podcast. We talk about personal development and coaching, with tips that not only relate to running but more importantly all aspects of your life. https://www.anchoredleadership.com/ Connect with me on the socials @Flores.Run FB - www.facebook.com/Flores.Run Instagram - www.instagram.com/Flores.Run Podcast details at www.flores.run/runwithpurpose 

Coaching w/ Jason Daily | ep034

This week on the show I decided to get a little more lighthearted (take a break from the chaos) and talk about gear. What do I wear and why? I know gear doesn't make you inherently "better" at anything but it can be a tool in our toolbox to help achieve our goals. What gear do you use? Hit me up on the socials to let me know!

Gear | ep033

This week on the show I sit down (via Zoom) with Jake Lees. Jake is a friend of mine I met on an impromptu group run a few years back. We talk about dealing with the current circumstances and the lessons that we believe this time will bring out of us. He uses all the buzz words of purpose, intentionality, comfort and more to make sure he hits all this show is about. Hope you enjoy our conversation!

Unknown w/ Jake Lees | ep032

I think there are so many people right now that are allowing their circumstances to take over their lives. We can't control the circumstances around us, but we can control our response to them. This week I talk about my Virtual Boston Marathon and how they gave me the thought about making the best of out the circumstances that come up rather than blaming our circumstances for the reason we aren't getting things done!

No Excuses | ep031

With all that is going on in our world today, things are just so uncertain. But I don't believe that uncertainty should lead to fear or that we should resist it. I think that in uncertain situations we can grow in ways that we couldn't otherwise. Getting comfortable with discomfort can mean embracing those times of uncertainty in our lives. This week I talk about my thoughts on uncertainty and how I believe even though it may not seem like it now, that we can grow to a new level in this time.

Uncertainty | ep030

*This episode was recorded on March 10th, a few days before the escalation of the COVID-19 throughout the United States. We wanted to give a PSA of that not to sound insensitive towards the current climate we are facing. That being said, we believe that you should not be living in fear and anxiety but rather take precautions to protect your community, your family and friends and yourself. * This week on the show I have a guest that is on a journey that has taken her places she never imagined to do things she had never thought of doing. Laura and I talk about her journey and dive into things such as connection, telling your story and overall just being okay with you. This is a long one, so buckle up!

Connection | ep029

Back to back races on a single weekend are always fun adventures, but they go to the next level with you have someone join you! This week my buddy Parker joins me on the show as we talk about our recent races in Mississippi and Arkansas. We break down our thoughts from the weekend of running over 52 miles.

Back to Back | ep028

We all want our lives to matter for so much more than just for us. We want to get to the end of our lives and know that we made the world a better place. Basically, we want to leave a legacy. This week I talk about my thoughts (on a soap box) about leaving a legacy and what that means to me. John Maxwell said it best, "at the end of your life people will sum your life in one sentence; write it now."

Legacy | ep027

This week, I have a special treat on the podcast. Aja Carter joins me to talk about her journey in running and how she went from running as punishment to being well on her 50 state journey. We talk about our favorite races, crazy running stories and the things that keep us pushing through the suck and getting comfortable with discomfort. It was a great conversation with someone that is "a special kind of stupid" just like me and I think you are going to enjoy listening as well!

50 States | ep026

"I just don't have time for that." | "If only there were more hours in the day" These are things we hear from others and if we are honest have said ourselves. The thing is we all have the same 24 hours in a day but how we use that time is what makes us different. This week I talk through my thoughts about time and the best way to approach your time to get the most out of your purpose. Enjoy!

Time | ep025

Run with purpose is a podcast where we discuss how when we focus on one step at a time we find purpose not only in the activity but in everything that you do! Every week I break down topics on living with more purpose and intention. Guests are often on the show sharing their journey and how they find purpose in what they do whether it's fitness, business or just "ordinary" life. Running has helped me gain the disciplines in my life to help me see my purpose, what is going to get you there?
