| 0:00.0 | I have seen myself, I'm 37 now, I've been training seriously since I was 11, like I've got |
| 0:07.2 | a lot of miles of my body and I've seen the less speed work in strides I do, the tighter |
| 0:12.6 | stiffer like more injuries I have. |
| 0:25.2 | Thanks for joining another edition of TrailRunner Nation where we go on virtual trail runs |
| 0:30.1 | with interesting guest experts that are going to help us become better runners and possibly |
| 0:36.4 | better humans. And today we're running with two coaches, Ian Sharman and Adi Bracey, |
| 0:41.8 | that are getting to convince us to start speeding up so that we can become stronger and better |
| 0:46.6 | runners for the long stuff. Another nutritional tip with Angela Polly from MetPro, |
| 0:53.2 | Angela, there are a ton of different diets out there, I've tried many of them, some of them work, |

| 1:57.3 | a bowl, has all the good stuff, has some berries and some nuts. It doesn't have any of the added |
| 2:03.9 | sugars or flavors or seed oils. It's just, it seems to me like they went outside and they picked |
| 2:11.3 | the natural goodness off of the plants and put it in a bag and it's delicious. It's like they went |
| 2:18.1 | on their morning run with a sack and brought back some breakfast. It's what a trail runner would do, |
