RC Crowns the Fittest Runner on the Planet

Every racing distance comes with its own challenges, but in this
episode the RC team is going to debate what race is the best test
to crown the fittest runner on the planet. The winner of the 100m
dash is typically given the title of fastest on the planet but
we’re not going to let sprinters have all of the fun. You’ll hear
our coaches each make their case for what they believe is the
best test of fitness before we officially settle on a winner.


Distance runners are a special breed of athlete and it takes
dedication to compete in the sport. That’s why we’re celebrating
your hard work by discussing all of the strengths required to
excel at every distance from the mile up to
ultra-marathons. 


Although every race has its unique challenges, there can only be
one victor. In order to help answer what race is the best test of
fitness we’ll cover topics including:


What is fitness and how can it be measured?

What traits make a runner successful over different races?

And, of course, we’ll give you our thoughts on what race is
the best test of fitness

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%.
