The Olympics is the biggest multi-sport competition in the world and perhaps the pinnacle of the sport for anyone in distance running. We gave you our picks for who would represent team USA before the Olympic trials and now we’re back to preview the big finale.

The Paris Olympics are sure to bring some interesting storylines featuring a huge depth of distance runners and some very hot conditions predicted. This is also the first time since 2016 that a full crowd will be hosted to watch these races since the last Olympics in Tokyo was run without spectators due to COVID-19 protocols at the time. The American team is stacked with talent this year and we’ll be covering how you can watch all of your favorite events and we’ll give you our bold predictions for some of the endurance races.

By the end of the show we’ll cover everything you need to know about the Paris Olympics including:

• How to watch your favorite races
• Who are the top Americans to watch out for at the Olympics
• What are some of the most exciting storylines for the summer games
• Bold predictions from the RC team for every endurance running event

Ask yourself - do you get enough green veggies each day?

I'll admit, I don't. It's tough to fit all of those greens in with an active and busy lifestyle.

But getting in your fruits + veggies is SO crucial as a distance runner for recovery, digestion, and optimal performance.

That's where Athletic Greens is a gamechanger. One scoop has 75 bioavailable vitamins, minerals, and whole food-sourced ingredients including a multivitamin, multimineral, probiotic, green superfood blend, and more.

That means fewer stomach issues, more focus and energy throughout the day (because the workday matters just as much as the morning run), and overall ... just feeling healthier.

Look, if you're struggling to get those fruits + veggies in - or if you keep buying them but they always go bad in the fridge - Athletic Greens will make getting those micronutrients simple and delicious.
