Hello fellow runners. I'm your host Finn Melanson, and this is the Run to the Top Podcast,

the podcast dedicated to making you a better runner with each and every episode.

We are created and produced by the expert team of coaches at runnersconnect.net

where you can find the best running information on the internet

as well as training plans to fit every runner and every budget. Do you ever notice fellow runners taking an interesting approach to a particular run or training block?

Or using certain recovery tools or consuming certain drinks and foods all in their quest to improve and reach peak performance.

In any of these circumstances, maybe you've asked yourself, why do runners do that? Well, this episode of Run to the Top is another up-tempo talk with coaches Dylan Bellis and Rory Moynihan answering three of those burning questions.

First, they address why runners drink

beet juice and whether it's performance enhancing. Then they tackle why runners do

two a days and specifically why they double on their long run days.

And finally, they examine whether it's beneficial to schedule

and execute back-to-back workout runs in a training block. College and supplementation has been shown to help runners dramatically improve recovery and reduce injuries.

Later in the episode we'll look at the exact science on college and

supplementation and how you can save 10% at newtopia.com

Hey everyone, welcome back to another episode of up-tempo talks. I'm

coach Rory Monaghan and I'm coach Delham Bellis. We have kind of an interesting

thing for you. We're always trying to mix up our topics. We're going to unofficially call this

why do runners do that? So essentially we're going to answer three questions

relating to things that you've seen other runners do.

Maybe it's like a friend.

It could be you've heard that professional runners do this.
