Run Farther & Faster — The Podcast with Coaches Lisa Levin and Julie Sapper

We’re thrilled to welcome Brad Stulberg back to the podcast! Brad, who was featured in episode 183, is a bestselling author, coach, and one of today’s leading voices on sustainable performance and well-being. Frequently featured in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal, his newest book, The Way of Excellence—out January 27—explores what it really means to pursue excellence in a world that often feels chaotic and overwhelming.

In this conversation, we dig into how Brad defines excellence (hint: it’s not just about winning or grinding harder), and how runners can apply his principles to training, racing, and long-term growth. We also zoom out beyond running to talk about how the disciplined, values-driven pursuit of excellence can be a stabilizing force in our careers, relationships, and…a Hoosier National Championship!

If you’re feeling pulled in a hundred directions or struggling to stay grounded in your goals, this episode offers a thoughtful, practical framework for doing meaningful work, running with purpose, and showing up as your best self—on the road and off.

You can preorder Brad’s book and all of his books on Amazon or wherever books are sold. Brad is also a great follow on Instagram @bradstulberg. We often share his wisdom on our socials. For Brad’s newsletter and podcast, check out his website: https://www.bradstulberg.com.
