Summary
There's no doubt that winter running can be some of the most difficult months of training, especially if you have a big race coming up in April or May and you have to be focused on getting in the work.
Motivation fades when every run requires dressing in 10lbs of gear and braving the elements or constantly fretting about how to adapt yet another workout for the ice and snow.
That's why in today's podcast roundup, we're going to help teach you everything we've learned over the past 10 years about training in winter conditions.
And no, these are just another round of "wear layers" type of tips (although we do recommend this). Instead, we're going to hear from some experts on exactly how to adapt your workouts, stay motivated, and make sure your spring race is your best yet, whatever mother nature throws at you this weekend.

This week's show brought to you by:
BiOptimizers
Most magnesium supplements fail because they are synthetic and only contain one or two forms of magnesium, which is simply not enough.
The reason Magnesium Breakthrough from BiOptimizers is so effective is because it's the only organic full-spectrum magnesium supplement that includes 7 unique forms of magnesium all in each pill.
By making Magnesium Breakthrough part of your daily routine, you'll be fully rested, recharged, and ready to crush all your New Year's resolutions.

Elo Health
Finding the right supplements at the right dosages specifically for your needs isn't easy. That's why we love Elo Health. Elo uses a combination of at-home blood biomarker testing, Apple Health data, and Dietitian support to determine exactly the right supplements just for you.
Once you have your results, they set you up with a registered dietician to go over your results and explain what each biomarker means. Then they'll go over the scientific literature behind each supplement they recommend based on your personal health markers.
Your custom supplements are delivered straight to your door every month, divided into convenient daily packets and evolve as your biomarkers and health data change.
If you'd like to give Elo a try, you can get a free blood biomarker test (a $200 value) by going to elo.health and entering code RTTT.
