For those of you who have been fans of RunnersConnect for some time now, you know that some of our favorite events of the year are our running retreats.

It's truly amazing to get to spend 4-5 days with passionate runners - talking about running, exploring awesome trails, and learning together.

Now, runners attend our retreats for a lot of different reasons - the chance to run in awesome places, all of the 1-on-1 coaching and learning, or even just to be surrounded by a group of likeminded people who love running.

But, for us coaches they also serve a fantastic purpose.

You see, although our running retreats are 100% focused on delivering a great experience to our attendees, we are also rewarded with the opportunity to learn and grow as coaches.

Moreover, when we host a retreat, it further reinforces why I love what I do. Plus, I always glean new insights into what works, what doesn't and what runners like you experience.

So, in today's show I want to go over 4 insights I gained from our retreats last year and how you can apply these lessons to your own training.

Amino Company:

If you're looking for the best way to get motivated, improve performance and recovery, and increase focus for your post-run strength workouts, you'll love the new Perform from the Amino Company.

Perform is an amino acid based formulation that I simply add to my water bottle during my run. It tastes great and is easy on my stomach. Clinical studies have shown that Perform helps improve endurance, reduce fatigue, and increase muscle protein synthesis so you recover faster after the run.
