There’s no doubt running is great for your health, but what healthy habits are good for your running? 

We’re answering this with another edition of overrated or underrated to help you decide what other healthy habits you should be adopting to become a healthier and better runner. 

Joining us for this topic is DR. Richard Rosenfeld, an expert in lifestyle health and nutrition. He’ll get into nutrition and tons of other great factors which can improve your overall health like:

  • Should you take power naps to catch up on some sleep?
  • How important is getting consistent animal protein in your diet?
  • Does mindfulness have an impact on your running?
  • Who benefits from adding walking breaks into racing and training?

You already spend countless hours running, so here’s an opportunity to take no more than a single hour and learn tons of great new habits for your health.

TIMELINE

Improving your mitochondria is one of the easiest ways to upgrade your performance and overall health.
 
If you didn’t know, mitochondria are often called the “powerhouse” because most of the energy your muscle cells need during aerobic running is supplied by mitochondria.
 
This is why one of the primary goals of all the runs we do is to increase the amount of new mitochondria in our cells and to increase their efficiency.
 
But, now there’s a new way to also improve your mitochondria - Mitopure from time-line nutrition.
 
Mitopure restores mitochondrial function, so every cell in your body has the energy to do its job and keep you healthy and functioning right.
 
In fact, clinical studies have shown that 500mg of Urolithin, one of the main ingredients in Mitopure, can significantly increase muscle strength & endurance with no other change in lifestyle.
 
Mitopure comes in powder form to mix into your favorite smoothie or softgels to make them easy to take.
 
Improving your mitochondria is one of the best things you can do for your health and with Mitopure from time-line nutrition, it has never been easier.
