JJโ€™s First Marathon!

11/15/2023
Join The Patreon/Discord for Live Streams and Stay in Touch With The Average Money Community: https://www.patreon.com/pushthroughThis week we talk about coaching on the podcast. Questions we get all the time often come back to "should I hire a coach". There are many reasons to hire a coach and a plenty of good reasons why someone wouldn't really need a coach. And you dont need to have a race on the calendar to need a coach. Some want a coach just for the accountability or someone to bounce ideas off of. The distance of a race doesnt really matter much either. Brad has coached athletes for a local 5k all the way up to a marathon. We will then break down exactly how JJ's marathon training block is being structured and what the general strategy would be going into it. By the end you will know how you can build your own block, the type of commitment that goes into training for a marathon, or any other race. As always follow up with any questions inside the discord linked above or on one of our instagram pages @bradtrains and @jjbuckner. Also dont forget to follow @pushthroughpodcast while youre there.

Biggest Mistakes From The NYC Marathon 2023

11/7/2023
Join The Patreon/Discord for Live Streams and Stay in Touch With The Average Money Community: https://www.patreon.com/pushthrough This past week Brad ran the NYC Marathon. Although there was a possibility for a huge PR, things needed to go right. It turns out that everything that was OUT of his control went perfectly to plan. BUT! The things he had control over didn't. There are so many variables when running a marathon! To have a perfect day, you have to be 100% focused. This was Brad's 15th marathon of his life and he still made a ton or rookie mistakes. Take a listen to what he learned and what he will remember moving forward. Thanks for the love and support as always!

Cold Plunge, The Hardest Mile, Google Highs

5/22/2023
Join the conversation: https://www.patreon.com/pushthrough Click To View Video Of EpisodeThis week JJ is in NY and there will be a lot of firsts! The next few weeks will show all the things we pushed through this weekend starting with JJ's first cold plunge! Cold plunges, or cold water immersion, offer several benefits. First, they promote muscle recovery and reduce inflammation, aiding athletes and individuals with muscle soreness. Cold plunges can improve circulation and stimulate the immune system, boosting overall health. They also enhance mood and mental well-being by increasing endorphin levels and providing a natural stress relief. Regular cold plunges may improve sleep quality and help regulate body temperature. Additionally, they can enhance cardiovascular function, increase metabolism, and improve skin health. However, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional before incorporating cold plunges into your routine, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions.Next we hit the track to complete "The Hardest Mile". You will have to listen for a full breakdown of this insane workout. It wouldn't be a podcast if we didn't talk a little bit of money as well. We will hit our wheel stocks and talk about Googles continuous 52 week highs every day this week!

Small Changes Make A Huge Impact

4/30/2023
REBRANDING DISCORD FLASH SALE https://www.patreon.com/pushthrough If you are a long time listener of the podcast you will notice a new look to the podcast. We will discuss this at length in this weeks episode and the reasons why. We are forever grateful to the Average Money Brand and the community it has built, but we feel like we have more of ourselves to give. We were limiting the impact that our life experiences could have but pigeon holing ourselves to 1 topic. With this rebranding, we will be able to give the listener all of everything we have to offer, which includes personal finance. Feedback has shown us that the listeners appreciate and take value in our discussions about real estate, parenting, fitness, health, mindfulness, and sobriety. Although all these topics will not appear in every episode, we will now be able to have more open and honest conversations without ourselves and the listeners, and therefore bring more value. In this episode we will talk about JJ's move from Missouri to Florida and what it's like to sell a house without an agent. We will also discuss JJ's month of sobriety and how that has changed his life and if he will continue to be sober moving forward past April. We will finish the episode talking about Brad's running injury and how that has impacted his life moving into summer vacation and his race schedule. This will lead into our rebranding and some in depth reasons why. Thank you for your continued support and understanding. See you in the discord.Brad and JJ
