Sometimes all it takes is a little change to get out of a rut. This proved true for both guests on today’s show, coach Hayley Green and Cherie Turner. After years in the sport, they both discovered a passion for new racing distances and are having way more fun too after making the change.

Hayley recently traded her focus on road marathons for longer ultra trail races and Cherie discovered she much preferred shorter distances to the ultramarathons she was accustomed to. The common theme here is change and how it can make you a better runner.

If you’ve ever found yourself hitting a plateau or lacking motivation then you’re going to relate to these stories. Running is a sport that rewards consistency and repetition but that doesn’t mean you have to feel like you’re doing the same thing again and again. There are so many different ways to participate in running. Trying something new might be exactly what you need to reignite your passion or reach new levels of fitness.

This show is all about the benefits of trying something new including topics such as:

• How a change in training can make you a better athlete
• How to overcome a lack of motivation with your running
• How your abilities can carry-over to other events or distances
• Signs it might be time for you to change up your training routine

I think these lessons are valuable for just about any distance or even for life outside running and I can’t wait to share them with you.

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.

Bace

CBD is perhaps one of the most innovative, and misunderstood, supplements in the endurance world right now.

The biggest advantage of CBD for a runner like you is the anti-inflammatory properties. CBD can help your muscles heal and recover faster. Additionally, CBD can help you sleep better, which also leads to better rest and improved recovery times.

What CBD will not do is make you high and it is non-toxic. It is even approved by the World Anti Doping Agency.

If you ever tried CBD before and found it to be too weak or strong, or you haven’t tried it yet because you’re not sure how to best start, then Bace Health’s Discovery Pack is a game changer.

The Discovery Pack leads you through a 7-day experience for you to find your perfect dose by slowly increasing from 10mg to 50mg. It’s the perfect way to dip your toes into CBD.

If you want to see just how much CBD can improve your recovery, now is the time to give it a try. Right now you can get half off the Discovery Pack, alongside a FREE sample of their balm. That’s 50% off, from $25 to just $12.50!

All you have to do is visit BaceHealth.com/RunnersConnect or enter the discount code ‘RunnersConnect’ at checkout to pick up your Discovery Pack and prioritize your recovery today.
