How Running Changed Everything We Know About Women

Maggie Mertens joins the show to talk about her book “Better,
Faster, Farther: How Running Changed Everything We Know About
Women”. 


In a wide-ranging discussion, we tie in some of the exciting news
on the female-side of the sport including the Lululemon FURTHER
event back in March, Jasmin Paris’ finish at the Barkley
Marathons, and Claire Bannwarth's dominant multi-day performances
across 2023 to discussions around the progress and the work to be
done in academic, sporting, and other cultural institutions
across society that play significant roles in making pastimes
like running more accessible to and supportive of female
athletes.

Better Faster Farther (Pre-Order)



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.
