    MWM Episode 94 - The Weight of the Goal
    May 29 2026
    Big goals are heavy. In this Midweek Motivation episode, David Theriot shares what training for the Bigfoot 200 is really feeling like about 75 days out from race day. The miles are increasing, life is still moving fast, and the challenge is becoming more than just physical. This episode is an honest look at balancing ultramarathon training with work, family, coaching, recovery, faith, and everyday responsibilities. David talks about squeezing runs into crowded schedules, getting miles in before sunrise during softball tournaments, and learning that discipline often matters more than motivation. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed chasing a big goal, this episode will remind you that growth often happens when life is heavy and you choose not to put the goal down. Topics include: Bigfoot 200 training Discipline vs motivation Balancing life and running Mental toughness Consistency and sacrifice Ultramarathon mindset Why big goals carry weight Key quote from the episode:“Sometimes pursuing a goal means doing inconvenient things in inconvenient places at inconvenient times.” Thanks for listening to the Run the Riot Podcast.If this episode encouraged you, share it with a friend and leave a review to help more runners find the show.

    MWM Episode 92 - Doing What it Takes
    Apr 28 2026
    This week the mileage is going up. More running. More lifting. A midweek double. Early mornings when it would be easier to stay in bed. And if I’m being honest… it’s inconvenient. That’s the part most people don’t talk about. We all like the idea of big goals—running your first ultra, pushing further than you ever have, proving something to yourself. But what those goals actually require? That’s where most people hesitate. In this episode, I break down what it really looks like to train when life is already full—and why waiting for the “right time” is usually what keeps people stuck. If you’ve been thinking about going after something big but aren’t sure how it fits into your life… this one is for you. What You’ll Learn: Why inconvenience—not ability—is what holds most runners back The difference between “fitting training in” vs building life around a goal How to stay consistent when your schedule is already full Why big goals require uncomfortable adjustments A mindset shift that changes how you approach hard days Key Takeaways Big goals demand intentional structure—not leftover time Your life won’t clear space for your training—you have to create it Discipline shows up when it’s inconvenient Growth is built through repeated, consistent effort The work you don’t feel like doing is often the most important Faith Focus: “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much.” — Luke 16:10 Faithfulness in the small, unseen moments builds the foundation for bigger things. Coaching: If you’re ready to: Run your first or furthest ultra Stop guessing and follow a real plan Stay consistent when training gets hard Check out coaching:https://www.theriot.run/coaching-services/ Connect: Website: https://www.theriot.run Share: Know someone waiting for the “right time” to start? Send this to them. Closing Thought: The goal doesn’t adjust to your comfort. You adjust to the goal. Take one more step.
