Hein Mynhardt might consider himself an average runner, but his love for running is anything but ordinary. He joined us as this month’s feature athlete to share how running is about more than race results and how he’s maximizing fun with his running while still getting better in the sport.

Hein loves traveling and after finishing the Boston Marathon this year, he has races planned across the globe. He’s a fellow Canadian so I loved getting his thoughts on what he loves about training there and why it can be so great to get away on occasion. It can be easy to get so tied up in all of the latest running tech and training strategies that you lose sight of your “why” for running. Luckily, this world nomad is an expert at having fun and I’m excited to share his thoughts with you.

During the show, you’ll hear Hein answer questions including:

• How to get fitter while still having fun
• What it is Hein loves most about traveling and some of his favorite international races
• What goal races Hein has planned for the rest of the year
• And what advice he would give to other “average runners”

This episode is sure to get you excited about your next run or race, so let’s get into it!

Have you ever wondered exactly how many carbs you need to fuel your training or if it’s okay to train fasted?

Well, now you can get that exact data with Lumen, the world’s first handheld metabolic coach.

With Lumen, all you have to do is breathe into your Lumen first thing in the morning, and you’ll know what’s going on with your metabolism, including recommendations to improve your pre-and-post workout fueling for better performance and recovery.

What I love most is that Lumen explains what every data point and value means with in-depth videos so you always know what’s going on in your body and what changes you need to make to hit your goals.
