Summary
Fresh off of nailing the Olympic Standard in the 5k, Ben Flanagan returns to the podcast!
If you're not familiar with Ben, he has slowly cemented himself as one of the best Canadian runners of all time in his few short years of being a professional runner. He is the Canadian half-marathon record holder with a time of 61:00 and has won the prestigious Falmouth Road Race three years in a row (gaining the name "The King of Falmouth" in the process). In addition, he won the 2018 NCAA 10k title while competing for the University of Michigan. Ben is currently sponsored by On Running and is a member of VNTC based out of Ann Arbor, Michigan.
In today's conversation, Ben recaps his historic race in Boston, what this race means to him, the buildup that went into it, getting married, his ambtions for 2024, his path to the Olmypics, and much more!

| 0:09.0 | If you guys listen to my podcast or know me personally, you know that sleep is a massive part of my life. |

| 0:28.1 | to strengthen my sleep, particularly my deep sleep in REM sleep, the quality of my sleep is |
| 0:33.1 | pillar performance. My go-to product from them is their triple magnesium, which has been a game |
| 0:38.0 | changer for my sleep in recovery. It uses a high dose of glycinate magnesium, and I take it 30 |
| 0:43.1 | minutes before bed each night. Where pillar differs from other micronutrition you may have taken |
| 0:47.3 | before is the tangible and measurable results you'll see on your fitness wearable. Again, I take it |
