Avoid Injury with Active Isolated Flexibility: An Interview with Phil Wharton

One of the more controversial topics in running (other than the
debate over footwear choices) is the importance of flexibility.


Coaches, experts, and runners disagree over the role flexibility
plays in preventing injury or boosting performance and how to
improve it. 


However, part of this disagreement lies in a misunderstanding of
what defines flexibility and stretching.


So, on today’s show we’re going to interview a pioneer in the
world of flexibility, Phil Wharton.


Phil is going to explain more in-depth…


The concept of active flexibility

How it’s different from traditional stretching

And how and when to best implement it in your training to
stay injury-free.



Take out your notebooks and pencils for this one, it’s a
masterclass in pre and post run injury prevention.

LMNT


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. 


LMNT 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 LMNT 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
