Summary

Running can be an isolating sport. It can also be a sport where we just barely get by with what we are doing.

In an effort to bring our athletes together and hold each other accountable while also creating new and lasting habits, we started a series of monthly challenges.

We focused on attainable challenges that focused more on feeling the benefits than being perfect. No better way to make a habit stick!

On today’s podcast we dig into:

How we set up these challenges
Some success stories
What we’ve learned and how you can create these for yourself!

Doing the little things or making time for strength can pay off, but we have to see it for ourselves sometimes. Tune-in and then let us know - would you be up for the challenge?

This week’s show brought to you by:

ARMA

With fall weather and big races on the horizon, strengthening your immune system is critical to staying healthy and maximizing your performance.

ARMRA Colostrum is a superfood concentrate of bovine colostrum that harnesses over 400 living, bioactive nutrients that rebuild the barriers of your body and fuel cellular health

You can check out all the research for yourself at tryarmra.com/RTTT. Plus, to make it easier for you to personally experience the benefits, we’ve worked out a deal where you can save 15% off your first order.

Previnex

The repetitive stress inflicted on your joints from running can slowly break down joint cartilage and reduce flexibility, which creates a vicious cycle of further breakdown and pain.

That’s why I started researching how I could start to protect my joints as I got older and this lead me to Joint Health Plus from Previnex.

If you’re suffering from joint pain or simply want to get a jump start on protecting your joint health as you get older, head to runnersconnect.net/joint and use the code RTTT15 to save 15% on your first order.
