Elisa Oras on Healing Eating Disorders and Intuitive Eating 3 If you are an athlete, a woman or a man working in an industry where appearance matters... well that means you are living in the western human society, you should listen to this podcast. You see it everywhere. Low carb diet, high carb diet, keto, Intermittent Fasting, gluten-free diet. vegan diet and the list goes on and on. Every few months there is a new diet on the market. Have you ever thought about it? Have you ever tried to lose weight? Are you eating healthily? We got to the point that we are chasing ideals portrayed by media. Sometimes we even think that it is what we want. You want to have a six-pack or the perfect bottom. I know I wanted to have the six pack a few years ago and it was because of a perceived approval or a status I would (maybe) achieve by having it. Please, take a sec

Nicole Mericle on Mental Game of Racing, Balance in Life and Diet 3 Alternative source: This week's podcast with Nicole miracle, ehm Mericle. Why miracle? Because many commented on her sudden appearance to Spartan Race accompanied by reaping the podium finishes one by one. But the truth is that she has been racing since childhood and has put a lot of work into her performance physically and mentally.

Let me know what you think and enjoy! Show-notes: The most important part we spoke about that really stood out to me was how Nicole overcomes suffering and pre-race nervousness. As she said, nervousne

George Howard on Overcoming Fear, Sharing Love, and Being Self 3 Shownotes: I hope you enjoyed the interview with George as much as I did talking with him. George Howard's website. Here are notes to recap this episode: Movement is an ongoing theme that you can spot among many high-performing individuals, from athletes to CEOs. Not only does it have health and mental benefits, but as George mentioned, movement can teach you to get in touch with your body, which is something we all miss nowadays. Taking action regardless of perceived fear is important as it allows you to grow. "Feel the fear and take action anyway.",  go alongside the fear, don't try to avoid it or resist it. There are two kinds of fear. There is the real fear that is instilled deeply in us and it serves us to help us survive. Then there is what we feel most of th

Faye Stenning on Grit, Life and Fulfillment 3 In this episode of Average to Exceptional I had an opportunity to speak with a Spartan Race Pro racer, Faye Stenning. Not only is this woman a Canadian superwoman when it comes to overcoming obstacles during a race, but also when it comes to grit in life. The amount of wisdom, integrity, and humility she has to share is exceptional. Topics we discuss in the podcast: grit and perseverance, being stubborn, Faye mentions how she gets through the hard times during the race, Fayes' view on relationships of athletes and the mistakes to avoid in order to make your fulfilling relationship, not a training partner. You can reach Faye through her website, Grit Coaching. Follow her on Instagram @fayestenning_ocr or Facebook with the same handle, Faye Stenning OCR. Daniel's FB: Instagram: h

Majo Srník Ultrarunner 3 Majo Srník ultra runner Majo Srník is my countryman who moved to Canada years ago where he now lives with his wife, dogs, and runs ...a lot. Facebook What if you decide one day to pack your stuff and move to a different country? This is the thought that many of us had at some point in our life. Majo Srník did it when he moved to Canada in 2011 to start a new life with his girlfriend. Overcoming struggles of life he decided to seek a new challenge - running. It happened when he asked himself one day "What if I went for a run?" And so he threw away his cigarette and started running. He liked the feeling and decided that if he wants to run longer, he needs to stop smoking.   From there on, it was just a matter of time till he got to ultra distances. Actually, it too

Luke Bosek on Ultra Endurance in Sports and Life 3 Luke Bosek is an ultra-endurance athlete who happens to be my running coach. The reason I asked him for this interview was simple. I view endurance training and racing as something that develops your spirit and mind as much as your body. When you think about it, everybody is able to push oneself hard for a short period of time. However what we see in sports and business world alike is that those who can sustain their effort long term are the winners. That requires consistency, discipline, sacrifices and grit. This applies to any area of your life. Results simply need time and the most important is what you can sustain over the long period of time. And Luke is definitely the guy to go! Besides his athletic achievements, which are plenty, he also works as a sales person. A job that I rev
