This week’s show brought to you by:


Nutrisense


Nutrisense is a small device that you put on the back of your arm
that then provides real time feedback on how your body responds
to the foods that you're eating, your exercise, stress and even
your sleep.   


With Nutrisense you're not shooting in the dark. Nutrisense helps
you track your data, understand your glucose trends, and see your
macronutrient breakdown for each meal. The app also gives you an
overall score for each meal based on your body's response.


Honestly, I recommend everyone try Nutrisense. When you use it
for a month it will open your eyes in profound ways to how your
food, your exercise, everything you are doing is affecting you.
 


You can get all of this today. Nutrisense has a special offer for

UCAN


If you’re looking for a better energy gel that contains no sugar
and instead uses a revolutionary slow burning carbohydrate called
LIVESTEADY, then you should check out UCAN.


Independent, peer-reviewed studies have shown LIVESTEADY is
absorbed quickly through the stomach to reduce GI distress, yet
is released into the blood stream slowly to provide sustained
fueling without the spikes and crashes typically associated with
traditional gels. 


By avoiding the sugar spikes, UCAN can help be less reliant on
frequent feedings of sugar-based fuels during the run.


All this data means using UCAN can help you avoid hitting the
dreaded wall during the half, full and ultra marathon distance.


Head to runnersconnect.net/UCAN to get 6 Edge energy gels for
FREE. All you pay is shipping. You can also save 20% on your
entire order at ucan.co with code RUNNERSCONNECT
