This is the Jocko Underground podcast number 183 sitting here with Echo Charles.
2
We've got some questions from you troopers and we are going to provide some courses of action, some recommendations on how you can handle these scenarios.
3
Let's get into it.
4
Before that, this idea of, and this is something to keep in mind, sounds obvious, but I think a lot of times we forget it, where if you have a course of action, you can get to a better place.
5
Yes.
6
Seems saying just knowing that you're already you're already better off.
7
Yes, and just to expand on that point a little bit one of the I Would say very nice blessings that I've had in my life is that I always
8
Got a decent amount of gratification knowing that I was just making steps towards
9
Being where I wanted to be so for instance when I I lived in a 934 square foot house with my wife and three children,
10
but I knew that I was going to own that house one day and I would be able to build a little bit of an addition on it.
11
I was okay with that.
12
Yeah.
13
You know, like, so it was, I was suffering currently, but I knew that I was going in the right direction.
14
Yeah.
15
And so that seemed to make things very good for me because I never minded.
16
I was very good at suffering tactical pressure because I knew my strategic goal would be achieved.
17
And that's why oftentimes when we answer questions here, I'll say, oh, if that's what's happening, you need to start to put together a long-term strategy.
18
And maybe I need to make this more clear when I answer these questions.
19
You need to plot out the course to escape the scenario that you're in.
20
And for me, if I'm in prison, it's like Shawshank redemption, right?
21
I'm in prison.
22
I'll get gratification every day that I've whittled away just a little bit of that wall, you know, and just that's, and I'm okay with that because I know the end of this, I'm going to get out of here.
23
And so if you're, if you ask a question, what you want is an immediate answer that now your problem that took you three years,
24
five years, eight years to get into, it's not gonna be solved overnight.
25
And you've gotta take some level of gratification over the fact that okay, at least now, I'm moving in the right direction.
26
So yes, courses of action.
27
Oh yeah.
28
Yeah, this idea of past, present, and future, it's weird how we over-index so much on the past and the present, and for a lot of people anyway, and not on the future.
29
So you could probably remember Freaking elementary school, junior high, high school.
30
If you went to college, I remember those years and blah, blah, blah.
31
I remember this happening.
32
You remember so much about it.
33
And, you know, you can think about it, whatever.
34
And then we think about how we're feeling right now.
35
And, oh, I'm miserable about this or I hate this, that this is going this.
36
And then, but we don't, sometimes we don't expand that same energy for the future, for steps into the future.
37
Like if you were to consider, you know how they say, you know, the old school, what's your five-year plan?
38
What's your 10-year plan, right?
39
like long-term and short-term, like goals or whatever.
40
Bro, I think, I don't know, I'm thinking about myself, but I never really indexed on those a lot of the time.
41
And then the moment where I realized how important that was, it's like.
42
Yeah, well that's where I always say I got very lucky joining the military because when you join the military, it's like, oh, you already have a 20-year plan.
43
Yeah.
44
Or a 25 or a 30-year plan, but for me, I was like, oh, well, now I know what I'm doing for at least the next 20 years.
45
And for me, it was like, I'm probably gonna be in this gig for 30 years.
46
So here, you know, follow this path.
47
And then you pick up little things which are kind of the normalized situation, which is, oh, well, you're gonna live here in San Diego.
48
You need to get a house here.
49
Okay, that's just a normal, cool, get a house.
50
And then for some reason, I'd be like, oh, maybe I could get two of them or three of them.
51
You know what I mean?
52
So you make these little things you kind of grasp on.
53
And for me, it wasn't so much like, hey, here's my five-year, 10-year plan.
54
I was like, hey, this makes sense to do.
55
I didn't think about how it played out in the future, but I knew that right now, if I make these moves, these investments,
56
in health, in real estate, in relationships, I knew that if I did that now, I knew it'd pay off in the future.
57
So I didn't have like, hey, I'm gonna write this down, but I knew that these investments, the moves that I'm making are long-term good moves.
58
I kind of always had that yeah and that fundamentally especially if that drives you makes you take these actual because there's a difference between oh yeah I know that but I don't do it I did have a commanding officer literally tell me
59
hey you should buy a house and then I had a friend when I came to San Diego back to San Diego from Virginia Beach
60
and I was looking for a rental property and I saw him and he goes why are you renting buy something and I was like well I don't know he's like buy something And then those two guys combined, one guy was telling me, buy a house wherever you get stationed to buy a house immediately.
61
And then my buddy that said, why are you renting a house?
62
Buy a house.
63
And I was like, oh yeah, long term.
64
That makes more sense.
65
Cool.
66
So yeah, man, just thinking is thinking about the future.
67
Just thinking about it.
68
You know, you got to consider these things because it's coming.
69
Where will you be and what will you have done up until that point?
70
The future is coming.
71
All right.
72
First question.
73
Good morning.
74
I've been training for my first marathon October since June.
75
I've done several halves, half marathons before and lots of distances below that.
76
I've loved running for many years of my life and I'm happy I found it and helped me tremendously on my weight loss journey.
77
However, I despise marathon training.
78
I truly do not think running this type of distance is for me.
79
I realized this back in July, but I thought I just needed to push through and it was because of fatigue, but now it's impacting me more and more.
80
I stopped lifting weights because I no longer have time or energy.
81
I'm eating a lot of carbs and sugar for fuel.
82
I'm gaining not muscle, but I'm gaining weight.
83
My long runs take three to four hours, and then I can't do anything for the rest of the day because I'm so tired.
84
My question is, is it even worth doing this marathon?
85
The only reason I haven't quit is that my cousin runs marathons and is doing the race with me, and I I don't want to disappoint him that I don't love the marathon like he does.
86
Any advice would be great, thanks.
87
Yeah, at a certain point specializing in something makes you good at that one thing and not good at a lot of other things.
88
And that's true, some people make that choice, that's called professional athletes, right?
89
And that's fine.
90
I've always leaned kind of towards, I guess the term is general physical preparedness, right?
91
GPP, which means you can run.
92
Not going to win the race, but you can run the race.
93
You can lift.
94
You're not going to lift the most, but you can lift some.
95
In calisthenics, you can move, all those things.
96
You're a good functional physical unit, right?
97
Okay, so I hear you.
98
And clearly, I think that's where you're headed.
99
And I think that's good.
100
I think you're headed back in that direction where maybe you'll run a little bit, but you'll start lifting again and all that stuff.
101
But the actual question is, you say, is it even worth doing this marathon?
102
This is kind of where I'm at.
103
And you may disagree with me on this one, Echo Charles.
104
I'm not 100% sure.
105
I think if you've been training since June, right?
106
And now it's whatever, September, June, July, August, June, July, August, September.
107
You've been training three and a half months for this thing.
108
You probably already paid for the freaking thing.
109
You've sacrificed for it.
110
And it's one of those things that many people see as like a bucket list scenario.
111
And an achievement, a bucket list achievement.
112
So I think a good compromise would be
113
to back off all the crazy running
114
normalize your life at some level start lifting again clean up your diet and see how you feel and come October go
115
out and run the freaking you know go out right walk the marathon you know go out and just get it done you don't need to set any records you just
116
whatever record you know what you were you trying to do a sub for a sub three a sub for three and a half a sub five whatever your thing was just forget about it don't let your ego get involved don't get injured you You know,
117
if like you get 12 miles in or 18 miles in and you are going to injure yourself, not hurt, you know, not like you're hurting.
118
You got some blisters.
119
But if you're going to injure yourself, then don't complete the thing.
120
Don't be stumped.
121
Don't wreck your life.
122
But go out there and give it a shot.
123
You don't push hard.
124
You've been training.
125
You probably get it done.
126
If you've been, if you're this deep into it, you probably be able to get it done.
127
and then you can you know celebrate at the end and you never have to do another marathon
128
that's that that and you can get back to your normal activities that's kind of where
129
i'm at now this is a little bit i'm i'm assuming that you're that your complaints about like being tired
130
is like yeah you're you're not like exhausted level and that you're gaining some weight i'm not like you're not ridiculous and you're losing some muscle like you're not completely withering it I'm taking your complaints to be moderate complaints
131
because if you're obviously if you're screwing up your health and don't don't you know stop if you're screwing up your health stop doing it but if you're if your body is you know not optimum for what you want but you're still kind of
132
you still can keep going then I'd kind of look at doing it I don't know what do you think I'm wrong I think you're correct Really?
133
I kind of thought you might think that I was wrong on this one.
134
What would you think that I would think?
135
Like, oh, dude, don't do it.
136
Like, you're losing weight, you're gaining fat, you're losing muscle, gaining fat, you're tired, your energy's low.
137
Like, I know those are all red flags in the Echo Charles book of rest and recovery.
138
That is true.
139
But those are all separate issues, though.
140
So running the marathon, okay, first off, yeah, you're not wrong because I would never be in a position to run the marathon.
141
And I don't see that as any type of bucket list scenario, which, you know, that's that's but that's a preference thing, you know.
142
So let's say it was something that I was like, no, hell yeah, I'm down for this.
143
I want to have done it.
144
And, you know, bucket list scenario.
145
I I agree with you.
146
I think if if training like this is a problem, then solve that problem.
147
If you gaining weight because you shouldn't be gaining weight, not you should not be gaining fat from this.
148
So then solve that problem.
149
So that's a diet problem that you just need to solve.
150
It's not that hard.
151
You can actually just look it up.
152
Be like, hey, I weigh this much.
153
Freaking I run this much.
154
I'm gaining fat.
155
What up?
156
What should I be eating?
157
They'll give you some guidelines.
158
It's not hard
159
so if you just treat each of these little issues as individual issues and you solve i thought that i think you're absolutely right right you're gonna run it you'll be absolutely
160
fine you don't even have to train this much i mean the only one concern has he's got a weight loss journey written in there so i don't know if
161
he's one of these dudes that you know used to be 500 pounds and now he's you know 380 or something yeah you know that you know if
162
he if his weight loss journey was he was was 250 and now he's 190 like that's that's a lot that's no factor yeah and if
163
if just like i said that if he's risking like legitimately risking his health or yeah dude injury or something like this then yeah it's i i personally don't think it's worth it of course i don't think something is
164
not worth it so if that's the case but um but yeah all things being good to go um aside from these things yeah
165
no do it yeah even if you have to freaking jog and then kind of walk the thing yeah yeah so i don't see the
166
marathon as being the problem i see these little individuals and also like eating a lot of carbs and sugar for fuel like at what point you ever had that
167
thing where you got like open mat tomorrow and you're like well it's you know saturday night i got open mat tomorrow yeah you know we're going to be getting after it i'm kind of clear how's that thing looking over you know what i mean so now if you're running and you're feeling that's another thing is like
168
you're feeling tired but your diet is junk and that ain't good you know i had a freaking
169
cookie like a big chalk not a milk cookie yeah but a big ass freaking for breakfast like
170
for breakfast bro a lot of times and uh pancakes are so yeah my it is one of my kids brought by Like the you know those places that just make like sick cookies.
171
Yeah, so one of my kids brought one of those things by And that call you gotta have this guy since I was like cool, you know I was like training, you know as I know no factor, but I ate a cookie bomb and apparently these cookies have like a Thousand calories.
172
I know what you're talking about.
173
Yeah, I didn't know that And also, you know, like a discipline and freedom, right?
174
Okay, here's some freedom, right?
175
God broke out the milk Yeah,
176
that's real ate this big-ass chocolate chip cookie button I felt like I got hit upside the head with like a baseball bat I
177
just got tired and part of it's because I don't you know that's not normal for me to just gut bomb a thousand calories worth of sugar
178
yeah but dude I was like it was gnarly and I felt like fell asleep you know like sat down
179
on the couch for a little while because I got done working out ran took a shower gut bomb sugar bomb good
180
and like I was sitting there and it was you know it was on a weekend

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
