Today's episode of the City of Smack Podcasts on the City of Smack Podcasts Network is brought to you by WOOP.

No one has been more relieved for the Olympic trials to be behind us than my WOOP.

WOOP is a fitness wearable that provides 24-7 personalized insights around your sleep, recovery, and daily activity.

WOOP has helped runners of all backgrounds train smarter and recover faster so they can get to the next starting line healthy and hit some new PRs.

As I get ready to get marathon training, my WOOP is telling me just how exhausted I was from covering the Olympic trials.

But now that I'm rested, recovered and recharged to get back into the thick of it, I'm good to go.

WOOP doesn't get your splits or mileage but instead focuses on the other 23 hours of the day when your body is getting ready for that next run.

Every day, it gives you personalized recovery score based on things like your resting heart rate and respiratory rate.

So you actually know if you're going to crush those summer tempo runs and if the legs are feeling good.

I've seen Nikki Hiltz, Joe Kovacs, Danadjordano, Drew Hunter, and a slew of other professional athletes wearing it.

Now it's your turn. Join now for free. WOOP is offering 15% off with the code Sidious at checkout.

All you got to do is go to WOOP that's WHOP.com and enter Sidious at checkout to say 15% off.

Sleep better, recover faster, run faster, get to that next starting line healthy with WOOP.

Thanks to the supporters on Patreon, a big welcome and thank you to Anna, James Juliano, Caitlin Edwards, Peter Bruce Gard and Scott Cook for signing up and contributing their own monthly pledges to keep this show going strong.

I just made the decision that with some of the funds on Patreon, we're going to be putting it towards hiring a part-time podcast producer.

It's finally time for that. So thanks to your generosity we're making that happen.

If you're a podcast or audio editor looking for some part-time work, I've included some information in the show notes if that interests you.

Support us over at patreon.com slash Sidious mag.

Another way you can also show your support is by picking up a t-shirt, sweater, whatever you want over at Sidiousmag.com and hitting the merch tab.

Also, we're nearing about 900 reviews on Apple Podcasts. It would mean a lot to me if you took an extra second to leave a little five-star review.

It helps us populate onto people's feeds as a recommended show on Apple Podcasts and allows possible sponsors to see what listeners think of the show.

So many thanks again to all of you who have done that.
