Practical Tips for Balancing Running With Your Busy Lifestyle

We get that you’re busy, and finding a balance between training
and life will probably make you a better runner than forcing your
training at the expense of sleep or important life commitments.
Life is unpredictable and it can be hard to find the right
balance for you. Coach Jeff Gaudette is familiar with this
struggle as a running coach and father of 4.


While completing all of your easy runs and workouts might be
challenging, the hardest part can sometimes be finding the time
to fit this into your busy lifestyle, and then maintaining your
energy the rest of the day afterwards. Unless you’re a
professional athlete with endless time for training, you likely
have struggled with this at some point. We’re diving into some of
the most hectic situations everyday runners face to help provide
some tips for fitting in your training without feeling like you
need to give up the rest of your life. Some of the questions
we’ll answer include:


Why it can be so difficult to fit in your training 

What are the pros and cons of running at different times of
the day

Which training activities should you should prioritize and
which you might be able to skip on occasion

How to adjust your training around various life conflicts
runners face 



We know you lead a busy life, so let’s not beat around the bush
and get right into it!

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.

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.

with 1000mg of sodium, 200mg of potassium, and 60mg of magnesium,
