This week’s show brought to you by:

Mushroom Breakthrough

One of the most difficult things about training hard in the morning is the brain fog and mental fatigue that comes when you’re trying to get your work day going.   I am sure all you morning runners can relate to that feeling of not being able to focus and get motivated those first few hours at work.   That’s why I was excited when BIOptimizers released its one-of-a-kind product called Mushroom Breakthrough   It’s a powdered blend of 5 potent superfoods including 1.2 pounds of concentrated mushrooms, which have been shown in research to enhance memory, focus, processing speed, and more.    It’s the perfect way to not only boost recovery post-run, but improve mental clarity in the morning without taxing your adrenal system with caffeine.

You’ll notice the difference in concentration, focus and mood, especially on those days when morning training really has you feeling tired and unmotivated.   For an exclusive offer go to bioptimizers.com/runtothetop) and use code RUN10 during checkout.   And the great thing about BIOptimizers is that you can try it risk-free with their 365-day money-back guarantee.

Lever

Have you seen top athletes like Eilish McColgan and Kara Goucher using the LEVER system lately? If not, let me fill you in on why this might just be the game-changer you've been waiting for.

The LEVER system is an innovative way to reduce your body weight while exercising on a treadmill, which means less impact on your joints.

Whether you're coming back from an injury, looking to increase your running volume, or wanting to add some serious speed work to your routine, LEVER has got you covered.

Our own has been using it and only 5 months after hip surgery has been able to build mileage up to 45 miles for the week by reducing impact on the LEVER. She’s even been able to run faster with better mechanics while still keeping the effort and HR in the easy zone.

What’s even better? The LEVER system is incredibly portable. It sets up on your home treadmill or at your local gym in under two minutes.

And because we know you'll love it, we’ve got an exclusive deal for you. Use the discount code RunnersConnect at https://levermovement.com) to get 20% off your purchase.

Trust me, your joints, achilles, and sore muscles will thank you, and so will your future self.
