Just before we get going with the show, I've got a couple of things to tell you about.

Firstly, if you're listening today and you're a runner, in fact, you decided to take on the big challenge of maybe a half marathon or a marathon towards the end of this year, we've got a very special opportunity for you.

We've taken our run squad program, which is the most proven method to get ready,

stay injury-free and unlock, not just performance, but also fun in your marathon journey.

And we've packaged it up with a very special experience. You're going to get some personalized

coaching. You're going to be a part of a group with a whole bunch of access

to the whole Purple Patch coaching team. And you're going to get your tailored program that

brings you all the way into your race day to ensure that you can be successful. And it is for a

one-time feat of $99 a month. It is the most affordable program you can possibly get to amplify your running

performance. I'm going to leave a link in the show notes for you. Check it out. It's a wonderful

promotion. And if you don't like it, even more special is the first month. We're going to give

you 25% off so you can get involved, get up to speed and get you accelerating

based on many of the principles that we talk about in today's show.

Secondly, and I'm going to say this really proudly, it echoes to what I just talked about.

Purple Patch Programming works.

Look, short-term interventions, they can spice up personal performance,

but the stories that I really love are of ones of enduring performance evolution. I want to tell

you about a purple patch athlete that I coach, Pascuali Romano. He's been a purple patch athlete

for many years. He's one of the most consistent athletes in our program.

And he's not, by his own admission, a natural athlete.

He's not like he's coming to this with these great physiological gifts or anything like it.

But at the age of 60 years of age, last weekend, he had another half-iron man PR at 60 years of age.
