Episode 155: Own Your Pace With Intisar Abdul-Kader Every runner has a moment when someone else sees something in them before they see it in themselves.

Showing Up Counts With Lilia Martinez

Coach Bennett"s Podcast ·

2026/07/21

Every runner has a starting line that didn't look like a starting line. For Lilia Martinez, hers looked like a dance floor. Ballet first, then tap, then jazz, the thing that finally stuck because it gave her room to move without a script. Running wasn't the plan. It showed up later, the way a lot of meaningful things do, in the form of a New Year's resolution with roommates and a half marathon she signed up for without fully understanding what she'd agreed to. That's basically the whole theme...

Episode 144. STOP There's a whole lot of stuff that runners do that they shouldn't do. The cool thing is that if runners stop doing things they shouldn't do they'll have more time to do the things that they should do.

Pretty sweet how it all works out. That's why I spend this episode going over a list o...
