This week’s show brought to you by:

Perform from the Amino Company

Perform is an amino acid based formulation that I simply add to my water bottle during my run. It tastes great and is easy on my stomach.

Clinical studies have shown that Perform helps improve endurance, reduce fatigue, and increases muscle protein synthesis so you recover faster after the run. Check out the research here: aminoco.com/rttt

If you’re interested in learning more and giving Perform a try, we’ve got a special offer for you where you can save 30% by using the code RC30. Just head to: aminoco.com/rttt and use the code RC30 at checkout to save 30%

Oladance

If you’re looking for better and safer headphones while you run, then you need to check out oladance.

The unique design of their headphones allows you to listen to your favorite music and podcast while running, yet still hear everything going on around you so you can stay safe.

But my favorite part is that their open-ear-design means your ears will never get tired or fatigued, even after 2 hours or more of listening. That makes them perfect for those super long runs.

Plus, their dynamic driver is 3 x bigger than most headphones, which allows them to deliver superior sound, while still being comfortable.

Just visit oladance.com/RTTT and use the code TOP to save 20% on your purchase.
