We are just a few weeks away from one of the world's most popular running events, the Boston Marathon. With this highly anticipated annual event approaching, I imagine you’ll be eager for relevant discussion.

So in this episode, we are joined by Jeff Gaudette, Founder of RunnersConnect, to address general questions about the race, offer advice on final race preparations, and discuss strategies for working towards the goal of qualifying for and racing in the Boston Marathon in the future, if you haven't already had the opportunity.

Specifically, we discuss:

• What makes this race so interesting from coaching, performance, and spectator standpoints
• Jeff’s philosophy for getting athletes ready for this race
• The types of workouts, recovery protocols, and mindset practices runners should be incorporating in the final 2-3 weeks of preparation
• Whether it’s possible to get into this race, despite the tough standards, and how you can successfully work backward from the goal of racing Boston one day

And much more! If you’re eager to start celebrating Boston, put the final training touches on your upcoming race there, or you want to start the dream of racing there one day - this episode is for you!

Ask yourself - do you get enough green veggies each day?

I'll admit, I don't. It's tough to fit all of those greens in with an active and busy lifestyle.

But getting in your fruits + veggies is SO crucial as a distance runner for recovery, digestion, and optimal performance.

That's where Athletic Greens is a gamechanger. One scoop has 75 bioavailable vitamins, minerals, and whole food-sourced ingredients including a multivitamin, multimineral, probiotic, green superfood blend, and more.

That means fewer stomach issues, more focus and energy throughout the day (because the workday matters just as much as the morning run), and overall ... just feeling healthier.

Look, if you're struggling to get those fruits + veggies in - or if you keep buying them but they always go bad in the fridge - Athletic Greens will make getting those micronutrients simple and delicious.

BiOptimizers

One of the most difficult things about training hard in the morning is the brain fog and mental fatigue that comes when you’re trying to get your work day going.

I am sure all you morning runners can relate to that feeling of not being able to focus and get motivated those first few hours at work.

That’s why I was excited when BIOptimizers released its one-of-a-kind product called Mushroom Breakthrough

It’s a powdered blend of 5 potent superfoods including 1.2 pounds of concentrated mushrooms, which have been shown in research to enhance memory, focus, processing speed, and more.

It’s the perfect way to not only boost recovery post-run, but improve mental clarity in the morning without taxing your adrenal system with caffeine.

You’ll notice the difference in concentration, focus and mood, especially on those days when morning training really has you feeling tired and unmotivated.
