In this second episode of The Consistently Good Podcast, I break down why the marathon owns such a deep place in my heart. From its roots in ancient Greece to today’s start lines packed with every kind of runner, the marathon tells a story of grit, culture, and community.I cover the barriers and breakthroughs—how coaching, fueling, and even politics have shaped the race. From the first Olympic marathons to the rise of women’s competition and iconic performances that defined eras, these moments show why 26.2 miles continues to inspire.CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction to the Marathon and Cultural Significance01:52 Why I Love Coaching the Marathon07:36 Economic Impact of Marathons12:24 Historical Origins of the Marathon15:41 Early Olympic Marathons27:04 The 1904 St. Louis Marathon30:16 The Standardization of the Marathon Distance41:30 The Fight for Women's Marathon Inclusion44:02 Progression of Marathon Records51:03 The 1984 Olympics: A Seminal Moment01:04:32 American Marathon Renaissance in 200401:08:57 Modern Marathon Records and Controversies01:16:51 The Transformative Power of MarathoningBecome a BPN member FOR FREE - Unlock 20% off FOR LIFEhttps://bpn.team/memberBat City Track Club is an emerging national class and regionally elite team with a primary focus on distances 5,000m to the marathon.https://www.batcitytc.com/FOLLOW:IG: https://www.instagram.com/theconsistentlygoodpodcast/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdvAh1V7frci0Rfv0dfm9-gJEFF CUNNINGHAM:IG: https://www.instagram.com/jdcunningham97/BAT CITY: https://www.instagram.com/batcitytrackclub/This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be considered legal [health or profession] advice.

01: Why Consistency Outlasts Greatness | Nick Bare
On the debut of The Consistently Good Podcast, I sit down with my friend Nick Bare to talk about what it really takes to build something that lasts. From turning a small supplement company into a world-class fitness brand, Nick shares the lessons that shaped him—servant leadership, humility, and the daily discipline of gratitude and trust in relationships, parenting, and business.This conversation sets the tone for why staying consistently good beats chasing the occasional flash of greatness.CHAPTERS:00:00 Welcome to the Consistently Good Podcast01:41 Fatherhood and Servant Leadership04:28 The Essence of True Leadership11:26 The Importance of Vision17:53 The Marathon Journey: From 3:24 to 2:3933:34 Defining Success Beyond Achievements47:24 The Essence of Trust in Coaching51:41 Humility and Accountability in Training53:47 Balancing Ambition and Life Responsibilities58:39 The Power of Delegation and Team Trust01:05:18 The Importance of Loyalty and Trust01:10:12 The Symbiotic Nature of Mentorship01:21:56 Gratitude and Acknowledging SupportBecome a BPN member FOR FREE - Unlock 20% off FOR LIFEhttps://bpn.team/memberBat City Track Club is an emerging national class and regionally elite team with a primary focus on distances 5,000m to the marathon.https://www.batcitytc.com/FOLLOW:IG: https://www.instagram.com/theconsistentlygoodpodcast/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdvAh1V7frci0Rfv0dfm9-gJEFF CUNNINGHAM:IG: https://www.instagram.com/jdcunningham97/BAT CITY: https://www.instagram.com/batcitytrackclub/This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be considered legal [health or profession] advice.
