Coach Ruairi Moynihan Shares his Favorite Workouts

Every run in a good training plan serves a purpose. That doesn’t
mean that you have to enjoy them all equally though. Even if you
have performance goals, it can be a lot easier to stick to the
plan if you enjoy the process. Today’s show is all about giving
you new workout ideas that you’ll actually want to do. Coach
Ruairi has more than a few ideas and he’s sharing his favorite
workouts to help give you some inspiration.


Each of these workouts is RC coach approved to help get you
fitter without compromising on fun. Ruairi knows a thing or two
about keeping running interesting. He often jumps between the
road and trails and has been known to drop several viral tracks
about running. Don’t let his rapping skills fool you though
because he’s also an excellent coach and runner with a 2:21
marathon PB.


You need a variety of workout types to achieve your best
performance from tempo runs to long runs. This show is meant to
cover them all and Ruairi will share which workouts he loves when
preparing for different race distances. For each of these
workouts we’ll get into:


How Ruairi likes to structure the workout

What makes the run one of Ruairi’s favorites

Where each workout can fit into a training cycle to boost
your performance

How to modify each workout for different goals or fitness
levels



Take out your notepad and listen carefully because Ruairi has
some great ideas to keep your running fun.

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.


LMNT 


Maintaining healthy electrolyte levels will not only improve
performance and endurance on the run, but can help with
preventing headaches, maintaining a healthy weight, and help with
recovery. 


That’s why we recommend all runners check out LMNT. It's loaded
with everything you need to replenish your electrolyte balance
with 1000mg of sodium, 200mg of potassium, and 60mg of magnesium,
and doesn't include anything you don't need like extra sugar or
