It takes a lot of hard work and talent to become a professional runner or coach but even the best of us make mistakes. In this episode, our expert team from RunnersConnect are sharing their biggest running mistakes so you can learn to avoid making the same ones.
Training for a big goal can be overwhelming but RunnersConnect is built on the idea of community and of bringing runners together to learn from each other to progress as athletes. We’ve all had bad workouts or messed up fuelling in a race or long run. Our coaches are no exception, so as they share their own biggest training mistakes we hope you’ll learn lots while maybe even getting a laugh or two.
I’m excited to hear from the RC team so with that I’ll hand it off to Cory to introduce our panel for the day.
This week’s show brought to you by:
Dri Seats
If you’re tired of sweaty, smelly and stained seats after your runs then you have to check out the car seat covers made specifically for runners from driseats.
DriSeats waterproof seat covers are designed specifically for runners. Unlike towels, they are 100% waterproof and easily fit over your entire seat so you don’t have any missed spots.
Plus, they are super easy to slide over your seat so it’s ready in seconds and they are machine washable so they are easy to clean and be ready for your next run.
You can head to driseats.com and use code RC20 to get 20% off first order
Lagoon
Lagoon specializes in making pillows designed specifically for runners and athletes to help them optimize their sleep and recovery.
Their sleep quiz pairs you with the perfect pillow for you based on sleep position, body size and more.
And the data on sleep improvement isn’t only from research papers. Using her whoop device, US Olympic Trials marathon qualifier Caitlin Keen saw her deep, restorative sleep increase by 52 minutes when she switched to a Lagoon pillow.
If you want to see the dramatic affect a pillow designed just for you can be, head to lagoonsleep.com/top
Then take their awesome 2 minute sleep quiz that matches you with the Lagoon pillow that’s perfect for you. Plus, if you use the code TOP at checkout, you’ll also save 15% off your purchase.
