Today on the podcast, we’re digging into something that causes a ton of confusion, frustration, and spinning your wheels…weight loss advice.

Everywhere you look, someone’s telling you what to eat, how to train, and what you’re doing wrong.

But here’s the real question…does any of that actually apply to you as a runner?

In this episode, Top 10 Biggest Myths about Weight Loss, I’m breaking down the most common misconceptions that keep runners stuck.

Because what works for the average person—or some influencer on social media—doesn’t always translate to endurance athletes who are out there putting in serious miles.

If you’ve been doing all the “right things” but not seeing results, this is going to open your eyes.

I’ll show you what’s actually holding you back and what to focus on instead so you can lose fat, get stronger, and become a better runner.

If you’re putting in the miles but not getting the results you want… something is off.

Maybe you’re running a lot but the weight isn’t changing.
Maybe you feel tired all the time.
Maybe running actually feels harder than it should.

And deep down you know this:

You shouldn’t have to grind this hard just to stay the same.

That’s exactly why I created The Leaner, Stronger Runner Project.

This is a step-by-step coaching program designed specifically for runners who want to:

• Lose fat without sabotaging their running
• Build real strength so running actually feels easier
• Fuel their body properly so energy stays high and cravings calm down
• Develop the mindset and habits that make progress stick long-term

This isn’t another random training plan or nutrition hack.

It’s a clear, structured coaching program that shows you exactly what to do — and why — so you can finally start feeling strong, lean, and confident again.

If you’re ready to stop guessing and start making real progress…

If you feel like you’re doing all the right things—running consistently, trying to eat better, maybe even adding some strength work—but you’re still not seeing the results you want…this episode is going to hit home.

Because here’s the truth: most runners aren’t stuck because they’re not trying hard enough.

They’re stuck because they’re unknowingly working against themselves.

And it’s subtle.

It shows up in how you train, how you recover, how you eat, and how you think about all of it.

You don’t need more motivation.
You don’t need a new training plan.

You need awareness.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the most common ways runners sabotage their own progress—and more importantly, how to stop doing that so you can finally start moving forward.

The post 328. How Runners Sabotage Their Own Progress (And Don’t Even Realize It) appeared first on Running Lean with Patrick McGilvray.

If your spring race is coming up in the next 4–6 weeks, this is where everything changes.

You’re not building fitness anymore. You’re not trying to “get in shape.”

At this point, the hay is in the barn.

What you do now is either going to sharpen you up for race day…or completely sabotage all the work you’ve already done.

And here’s the problem: most runners get this part wrong.

They start cramming in extra miles, pushing harder, second-guessing everything, or trying new things at the worst possible time.

So today, I’m breaking down exactly what to do—and what NOT to do—so you can show up on race day feeling strong, lean, confident, and ready.
