A Runner’s Guide to Getting Better When you’re not Running

Even for the most dedicated runners, most of the day is not spent
running and there’s a lot you can do during this time to get
better. If you run for an hour every day, that still leaves 23
hours in the day that can impact how you feel on your next run.
The key to getting the most out of your workout is knowing what
to do during the in-between times when you’re not running. 


This episode will guide runners through how to maximize this time
with considerations for every point before and after a run, or on
days when you’re not running at all. We all know that running is
important for your training, but all the other little things can
add up to make a big difference in performance. Today, Ruairi
joins the show to walk you through many of the non-running
strategies you can use to get better as runner including:


How you can prime your body to perform well before a run

What you should be doing immediately after finishing a run

How to nail your nutrition throughout the day

How to improve the quality of your sleep 



We don’t want to spoil the show, but listening to running
podcasts from the team at RC is a great first step to improving
your running. We have some great tips to share today so let’s get
started!

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.
