This week’s show brought to you by:


LMNT Winter


Did you know that you’re likely to sweat as much, if not more, in
the winter than in the summer?


That’s because we often wear such warm clothes to start our runs,
which leads to more sweating towards the end. Plus, the sweat
gets absorbed by our clothes, so it’s harder to notice.


Now, you already know that when you sweat, you lose electrolytes,
which are essential for your body's best performance. But you've
also been told that too much salt is bad for you, so it can get
confusing to know what to do.


The truth is that athletes, healthy eaters, and heavy sweaters
all need more sodium and just about everyone needs more potassium
in their diet and we don't need a bunch of sugar and artificial
junk along the way. 


Element is the hydration solution designed with athletes and
everyone who sweats in mind. Element comes in lots of salty
flavors that even the saltiest sweaters will love, such as
citrus, raspberry, and orange.  It even comes unflavored for
those who prefer the clean, salty taste.


That’s why we recommend all runners check out Element this
winter. It's loaded with everything you need to replenish your
electrolyte balance with 1000mg of sodium, 200mg of potassium,
and 60mg of magnesium, and doesn't include anything you don't
need like extra sugar or anything artificial.


Even better, they are currently running a special deal where you
can get a free LMNT Sample Pack with any order. So, order your
favorite flavor and get a free sample pack to try out new flavors
or share with your running friends.


To claim this exclusive deal you must go to
