5x National Champion Sabrina Little: Finding Happiness Through Running

Sabrina Little is a 5x national champion ultra runner who happens
to also be a professor of moral philosophy. During her career,
when she wasn’t breaking American records, she earned a Phd in
Philosophy at Baylor University. More recently though, she
published her book “the Examined run - why good people make
better runners” all about how running fits into a happy and
fulfilling life. Her book is filled with thought-provoking
lessons for anyone who loves to run and she is the perfect guest
to explore how running can make us better people or even how
practicing virtuous traits can make you a better runner.


One of the key tenets of Sabrina’s writing is that virtuous
traits like patience and empathy are teachable and
performance-enhancing, so practicing them is beneficial to
excelling in sport. This means that becoming a better person can
actually be a tool to improve your running!


Some of the topics we cover include:


Why virtue can be beneficial to athletic performance

How to practice building traits of virtue through your
running

How to find your “why” for running

What are Sabrina’s thoughts on the role of running in a happy
life



Sabrina has a way of making philosophical topics approachable and
relevant to runners that we’re sure you’ll love. Tune-in and find
out for yourself how you can become a happier and faster runner
all at the same time.

TIMELINE


Improving your mitochondria is one of the easiest ways to upgrade
your performance and overall health.
 
If you didn’t know, mitochondria are often called the
“powerhouse” because most of the energy your muscle cells need
during aerobic running is supplied by mitochondria.
 
This is why one of the primary goals of all the runs we do is to
increase the amount of new mitochondria in our cells and to
increase their efficiency.
 
But, now there’s a new way to also improve your mitochondria -
Mitopure from time-line nutrition.
 
Mitopure restores mitochondrial function, so every cell in your
body has the energy to do its job and keep you healthy and
functioning right.
 
In fact, clinical studies have shown that 500mg of Urolithin, one
of the main ingredients in Mitopure, can significantly increase
muscle strength & endurance with no other change in
lifestyle.
 
Mitopure comes in powder form to mix into your favorite smoothie
or softgels to make them easy to take.
 
Improving your mitochondria is one of the best things you can do
for your health and with Mitopure from time-line nutrition, it
has never been easier.
