Becoming A Sustainable Runner

Improving your mind, your body, and the impact your have on the running community and the greater environment around you - these are the topics of conversation in today's episode with Tina Muir and Zoe Rom.

Their upcoming book - Becoming A Sustainable Runner - serves as a practical guide for runners of all abilities and backgrounds who want to better support their own endurance journey, and extend those lessons into meaningful environmental action.

Specifically, we discuss:

• strategies to strive toward ambitious running goals while fostering a healthy sense of self-worth
• the spectrum between self-sabotage and self-acceptance in running and the ways to land in the camp of self-acceptance more frequently throughout our running careers?
• accepting who you are while still entertaining ambitions for growth
• the major takeaways they've discovered around reducing injury risk, strength training, and eating appropriately to be your best running self
• their philosophy around imperfect environment activism
• practical strategies for reducing our overall consumption and adopting a more sustainable lifestyle in the running community

Magnesium Breakthrough from Bioptimizers.

Supplementing with magnesium before you go to bed has been shown in scientific studies to…

• Increase in muscle oxygenation during high intensity exercise
• Reduce inflammation
• Significantly improve sleep quality
• Improve aerobic exercise capacity when training.

When you're looking for a magnesium supplement, make sure you take one that is organic and has all 7 unique forms of magnesium.

Our recommendation is Magnesium Breakthrough from Bioptimizers because it's made with the highest quality, organic magnesium and contains all 7 critical forms. Most other magnesium supplements are synthetic and only contain one or two forms of magnesium, which is simply not enough.
