Running News: Storylines for the Boston Marathon and London Marathon

Marathon season is upon us and the team at RunnersConnect is
bringing you all the greatest storylines going into the Boston
and London Marathon. This year’s field of professional runners is
loaded leading up to the Paris Summer Olympics and we’ll give you
our take on what to expect and who might surprise or disappoint
at upcoming marathon majors. We’ll also chat about our thoughts
on what to expect from the American Olympic Marathon team who
have all opted out of running a Spring marathon.


This is not your typical sports commentary show, so expect it to
feel more like a conversation among friends than a data dump of
performance metrics. We’re throwing out all of our bold
predictions and hot takes so you play along and feel free to
disagree with anything said. This is going to be a fun
conversation that you’ll love if you also get excited talking
about long-distance running events. Some of the stories you’ll
hear include:


Will Olympic Trials 3rd place finisher Leonard Korir be
competing in Paris? (03:26)

Our thoughts on how the American Olympic team may be
preparing for the Summer Games (14:12)

Which elite men are likely to surprise or disappoint at the
Boston Marathon? (29:58)

Which American women are favorites to finish well at the
Boston Marathon? (43:15)

And will we see a new World Record from someone in a stacked
field of Women at the London Marathon? (53:25)



This might just be the most exciting time of the year for
Marathoners and whether or not you follow elites closely, you can
expect to enjoy some great combination of friendly banter and
heated debates.

This week’s show brought to you by:


MAS Iron


Outside of training deficiencies, low iron is one of the most
common reasons for poor results during workouts and races. 


Recent research indicates that almost 56% of male runners and 86%
of female runners suffer from an iron deficiency that severely
hampers performance.


The problem with eating iron-rich foods or supplementing with
traditional iron supplements is that iron is notoriously
difficult for the body to absorb and utilize.


In fact, only about 25% of dietary iron found in animal sources
is absorbed while 17% or less of the iron from plant sources is
absorbed.


But MAS Iron has found a way to combat these absorption issues to
ensure you can get the iron you need for health and performance.


By combining the most efficiently absorbed form of elemental iron
with clinically proven ingredients to aid in absorption, MAS Iron
performs like no other iron product on the market.


In fact, clinical research has shown the combination of
ingredients in MAS Iron can quadruple absorption and increase
bioavailability by 30%, all while reducing GI issues by 50%.


Check out the research and the results for yourself at
masedge.com/iron. Runnersconnect fans will automatically save 20%
on any purchase.


Fatty15


The benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids are widely espoused, and
rightfully so, in almost every healthy diet in the world. The
problem is that Omega-3 supplements face a lot of issues. From
going rancid quickly to cheap forms not being absorbed. But
thanks to Fatty15, now there’s a better option.


Fatty15’s C15 omega-3 is made from a patented,
oxidation-resistant form of pure C15 derived from plants. It’s
vegan-friendly, free of flavors, fillers, allergens or
preservatives. Plus, independent studies have shown is has 3x the
healthy-aging cell benefits of omega-3 or fish oil and that it’s
3x better, broader, and safer than traditional omega-3.


C15 works in multiple ways: It repairs age-related damage to
cells, protects them from future breakdown, and boosts
mitochondrial energy output.

your long-term health. You can get an additional 15% off their
