| 0:00.0 | Today's episode of the CitySmag Podcast on the CitySmag Podcast Network is brought to you by WOOP. |
| 0:05.7 | WOOP is a fitness wearable that provides 24-7 personalized insights around your sleep, |
| 0:12.0 | recovery, and daily activity. So whether you're looking to break five minutes for the mile |
| 0:16.4 | or just looking to run your first 5k, WOOP has helped runners of all backgrounds train smarter |
| 0:21.9 | and recover faster so that they can get to the starting line healthy and hit those new PRs. |
| 0:27.2 | I've been wearing my WOOP since December 2019, which is so long now that I've got 10 lines on |
| 0:31.9 | both of my wrists to show my love for it. On one side, I've got my GPS watch and then on the other, |
| 0:36.8 | I've got my WOOP, which way is absolutely nothing, and it's not about splits or mileage, |
| 0:42.3 | but rather the other 23 hours of the day when your body is getting ready for that next run. |
| 0:47.3 | It's completely different from your standard GPS watch because every day it gives you a |
| 0:51.1 | personalized recovery score based on things like your resting heart rate, sleep, and respiratory |
| 0:55.6 | rates, so you actually know if you're going to crush those track repeats and if the legs are |
| 1:00.0 | feeling good. The app has built in features like a string coach so you can see how hard you're |
| 1:04.9 | pushing your body every day and you can set goals based on your body's recovery. Over-training |
| 1:10.6 | and injuries are huge problems for every runner, but WOOP can help you reduce those risks by |
| 1:14.9 | listening to underlying factors that affect your performance. The Sleep Coach, which is my personal |
| 1:19.6 | favor, provides you with personalized sleep recommendations based on the previous night's sleep |
| 1:24.0 | and how active you were over the course of the day. And you should know that a runner's best |
| 1:28.3 | weight is combat injury, it's by getting quality sleep. For me personally, it's done wonders because |
| 1:33.4 | it tells me, hey, get to bed by this time and wake up by this time and maybe you'll be fully |
| 1:37.6 | recovered for your workout. And as it gathers more data, it helps really tailor all of that information |
| 1:42.8 | to your body's needs so that you can perform better. So listen up, because WOOP is offering 15% off |
