This week’s show brought to you by:

Red Tonik

Adding a red’s super food supplement to your diet is not only a great way to round out your nutrition and ensure you have a sufficient intake of red-pigmented plants and the types of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants found in them, but also a way to boost nitric oxide levels, which have been shown to benefit endurance performance.

But, most reds supplements list dozens of ingredients that don’t have any evidence to support them or under dose the ones that do using proprietary blends.

Red Tonik is different.

They list the exact dosages of every ingredient and only include those with actual scientific evidence that support their effectiveness.

Because of this, their reds tonik is the absolute best reds supplement for runners. The research shows you’ll improve endurance, recovery, and overall health.

Check out the research yourself at runnersconnect.net/reds. They even have a 365 day money back guarantee if you try them and don’t feel a difference in your training.

Land Rover

You’re up for any challenge that comes your way. The Defender 110 is, too.

The iconic vehicle has been reimagined for twenty-first century adventure, and its unparalleled off-road ability, as well as its robust interior, are invaluable whether you’re headed towards uncharted territory, or just a weekend of exploration.

The Defender 110 tackles challenging surroundings with absolute confidence. The SUV conveys strength outside and in, featuring peerless technology like an intuitive driver display and an award-winning infotainment system to keep you connected no matter where the journey takes you.

Adventure is unique to everyone, and so is the Defender. Choose from the two-door Defender 90, the four-door Defender 110, or the larger Defender 130 with the ability to seat up to 8 passengers — you’ll find uncompromising performance in all three.

Pack up and go even further with the Defender 110. Learn more at LandroverUSA.com/defender
