Running Lean: Weight Loss Training Course for Runners
How to transform yourself into a lean, fat-burning, running machine so you can run without bonking, lose weight without calorie-counting, and develop the habits required to make it last a lifetime.
Running is NOT an effective weight loss strategy.
I know, I know... it doesn’t make sense.
It goes against everything you’ve been taught for decades, but it’s true.
The truth is, the whole “calories in vs calories out” theory of weight loss has never actually worked.
I hear from runners every day who say things like:
“I’ve run 3-4 miles a day, every single day since 2007. I’m almost at 5,000 consecutive days of running. Regardless of all those miles and all that dedication, I’ve gained almost 60 pounds. I don’t understand what’s happening! Why am I gaining weight?”
“I was running ultramarathons and could not lose weight, so I started counting calories and weighing all of my food. After over a year of stressful measuring and tracking of every morsel I ate, I had only lost 5 lbs. Counting calories is clearly NOT the answer.”
“I love running but had to take some time off due to an injury. I gained ten pounds! I’m back to running again but I can’t seem to get rid of the extra weight!”
I also thought maintaining my weight was all about running more and eating less.
But even as an avid runner, I gained 40 pounds in two years!
I knew something was very wrong with this approach, but I didn’t know what.
So I set out to uncover the truth about what was really going on.
Contrary to what we’ve been told for decades, running is NOT a very effective way to lose weight.
I've been there.
I tried every diet imaginable and they all had one thing in common: eat fewer calories and try to burn more.
Calories in vs. calories out.
Some of these diets worked...sorta. Until all the weight came back again.
Nothing I tried ever worked for long! Nothing was sustainable!
The more I ran and the less I ate, the more miserable I was (and the harder it was to lose weight).
None of this made sense. I had to figure out what was really going on.
Years of research, experimentation, and training led me to these conclusions:
The “calories in vs. calories out” theory does not work and it never has.
Running more and eating less is not a very effective way to lose weight. It’s slow, the results are minimal at best, and we tend to overcompensate the running by eating more calories than we are burning!
When you burn a lot of calories, your body responds by increasing your appetite so you end up eating more to replace whatever you burned off. Your body starts this powerful process that works against you every time you run.
Your hormones are responsible for whether you are storing fat or burning it.
Insulin is a fat-storage hormone. When insulin is high, your body is in fat-storage mode. When insulin is low, you’re in fat-burning mode. You’ll be able to access your own body fat for fuel and you’ll start losing weight.
You CANNOT lose weight when insulin is high, you have to get your insulin levels down. How do you lower insulin? By changing what you eat and when you eat.
We have been conditioned to desire certain foods like an addict desires a drug.
Addiction is defined as drug use that is compulsive and difficult to control, despite harmful consequences. Sounds a lot like a runner’s relationship to certain foods, doesn’t it?
We have become physically and mentally obsessed about food and in order to lose weight we have to break out of those addictive patterns. We have to break our old unhealthy habits and instill healthy new ones.
You can't just "outrun" a bad diet.
IF NOTHING CHANGES, NOTHING CHANGES
Most people say they want to lose weight and become a fat-adapted runner, but they are unwilling to endure even the tiniest bit of discomfort required to get there.
In order to get results you've never had, you have to do things you’ve never done.
That means you have to get out of your comfort zone.
You have to embrace a little temporary discomfort so you can enjoy the amazing results forever!
If you’re done with all the frustration that's prevented you from losing weight in the past, then it’s time to do something different.
DOING IT ON YOUR OWN DOESN'T WORK
In order to lose the weight and become a lean running machine, you need to master ALL of the processes involved:
What to eat
When to eat
How to become a fat-adapted runner
How to fuel your body for long training runs
How to fuel differently for races
How to eliminate hunger and cravings
How to reduce stress
How to build strength and endurance
How to manage your mind
and most importantly...
How to make all of this sustainable
Making all of these changes on your own is a lot harder than you think!
Trying to figure all of this out for yourself is very challenging! If it was easy, none of us would be carrying around any extra weight.
I've already done the hard part. I've figured it all out. I’ve already made all the mistakes so you don't have to.
Imagine how much easier it will be when you have the right someone with the experience and expertise to show you exactly how to do it, every step of the way.

I joined Patrick’s weight loss program because I had to do something about my stress eating, and I needed help kicking my daily sugar habit.
I would get stressed out and I’d have urges to eat something sweet like chocolate bars or jelly beans. Then I would feel sick from eating too much sugar, guilt would set in, so I’d beat myself up for giving in to the urges and not having more self-control. I call this the “sugar spin”. I felt completely out-of-control.
I enrolled in Patrick’s course and everything shifted for me! Now I’m totally in control of what I eat and when I eat. Overall, I have a much healthier relationship with food.
And I’m finally out of the sugar spin! My sugar cravings are gone now, and I don't miss them one bit! I thought it would be really hard to give up sugar, but Patrick gave me the tools I needed to do it easily.
I’ve accomplished something really powerful in this training course. I have a lot more confidence in myself, in the choices I make around food, and in my ability to continue this way of life going forward.
I will show you exactly how to become leaner and stronger so you can run faster and longer than you ever imagined. I did it. I’ve helped countless others do it. You can do it too.

Amy
I used to eat whenever I got bored. During the first week of the COVID-19 quarantine, I gained 5 lbs! I knew I wasn’t making good choices, but I didn’t know what else to do.
I tried running more, but it just wasn’t working for me. I was feeling fat, unhealthy, and unmotivated.
I joined Patrick’s weight loss training program was surprised at how quickly I was able to make some big changes. I learned how to think of food as fuel for my body, instead of just something to do whenever I’m bored. I don’t “live to eat” anymore, now I “eat to live”.
I’m thinking more clearly, I have a lot more energy during the day, I’m sleeping better at night, and running is easier now than it’s been in a long time! So far I’m down 30 lbs, several dress sizes, and over 4” from my waist and hips.
This program went beyond eating and weight loss for me - I’ve learned valuable skills for overcoming obstacles and making better choices in all areas of my life.
THIS IS NOT FOR EVERYONE
If you’re looking for a “quick fix” to your weight problem, this program is not for you.
This is the most comprehensive and most effective weight loss program you’ll ever experience, and the only one I know of designed specifically for runners. This training program will challenge you both physically and mentally... and you’ll learn everything you need to get through all of it.
If you’re the kind of person who likes to “half-ass” stuff, this program is not for you.
This is a program of commitment, empowerment, and action. You make a commitment to reach your weight loss goal and I empower you with everything you need to achieve your goals. Just like your personal trainer can’t do the push-ups for you, I can’t do this for you. You need to make a real commitment to become the person you really want to be.
Remember, nothing changes if nothing changes.
If you’re ready to change and ready to start taking action NOW, then this is the exact right program for you.
IMPORTANT
If you’re like some people reading this, you may be thinking, “I WANT to join the Weight Loss Training Course, but I can’t afford it.”
The fact that you’re on this page means that you KNOW you need a program like this to get you the results you haven’t been able to get on your own. And, the fact that you’re on this page means that you haven’t yet found that program, because if you did, you wouldn’t be here now, right?
If this applies to you, what you’re about to read is the most important thing you’ll ever read about losing weight and becoming the best version of yourself.
If you want to enroll in this training course, and you think you can’t afford it then you’re in a place called Desirability VS Feasibility. Meaning you desire to lose weight, you desire to become a fat-adapted runner, you desire a healthier, happier future for yourself, but you don’t think it’s financially feasible for you.
What you do next will determine what ultimately happens in your life.
Because thinking it’s not feasible is a form of self-sabotage that you probably didn’t even realize until I just pointed it out.
Here’s the truth:
You have to ask yourself one vital question that will determine whether or not you lose weight and become the healthy person you want to be. The one question is:
“Am I going to be 100% responsible for my own health and happiness, or am I not?”
You know that you’re not where you want to be today. And you also know that if you really want something to change in your life, if you really want to lose the weight and become a lean running machine, it’s going to be YOU who makes that happen.
The question has changed:
If you’re going to be 100% responsible for your own health and happiness, the question isn’t, “Can I afford it?”, the question now is, “How can I be 100% responsible and MAKE this happen?”
If you stop right here and do nothing different, that means you aren’t willing to get out of your comfort zone, it means you’re driven by fear, it means you’re not cut out to become that healthiest version of yourself, and it means that you’re going to continue to struggle with your weight...just like you’ve always done.
Let’s go back to the most important question you need to ask yourself right now:
Are you going to be 100% responsible for your own health and happiness?
If yes, then enroll in this training course. If not, you can click off now.

Heric
All my life I’ve struggled with my weight. I’ve always been super athletic to try to keep my weight down - I taught aerobics, I ran marathons, I even did two IRONMAN triathlons. I’d lose some weight training for these events, but as soon as the training season was over I’d start gaining it back again.
In his training course, Patrick taught me how to entirely change the way I think and feel about food, and how to create good habits to replace the bad ones.
I’m down 25 lbs so far and I feel really good about myself for the first time in a long time. I have a lot more energy throughout the day, I’m more in tune with the food I’m eating, and I have a lot more confidence about what to eat.
Probably the biggest relief for me is that I don’t have to rely on all the crazy exercise to keep the weight off anymore! I’ve finally learned how to lose weight the right way and I have the tools to go forward confidently.

I thought I was doing all the “right” stuff, counting calories, eating less, portioning out my food, but none of it was working and I didn't know what else to do.
I joined Patrick’s weight loss program and I thought, "What have I got myself into?" But Patrick’s attitude and approach made the program a lot easier than I thought. He was both a drill sergeant and a cuddler. He’s really a great teacher and coach.
I’ve lost 15 lbs so far and I actually look forward to stepping on that scale every morning, there's no more drama around it. I’m in control of my eating for the first time in my life.
