Overcoming Lack of Motivation in Training: With Mackenzie Havey

While we all start each training cycle rearing to go and
extremely motivated for whatever training and life throws our
way, the reality is we will all go through periods during
training where we’re just not motivated.


As an example, I know with some of the record heat this summer,
it’s just plain exhausting to always be battling even when you
get your runs in before the sun is up.


There's no shortage of reasons we go through stints in our
training when we just don’t feel motivated to get out the door.


So, on today’s show we’re talking with author Mackenzie Havey.
Mackenzie published an awesome book called “Mindful Running” so
today we’re going to learn from her…


How to overcome lack of motivation

Tips and tactics to relieve anxiety about performance

And the best ways to dispel negative thinking during training
and racing



We’re going to get in-depth about all these issues and the simple
things you can implement in your daily training to conquer them.

Magnesium Breakthrough from Bioptimizers. 


Supplementing with magnesium before you go to bed has been shown
in scientific studies to…


Increase in muscle oxygenation during high intensity exercise

Reduce inflammation 

Significantly improve sleep quality

Improve aerobic exercise capacity when training.



When you’re looking for a magnesium supplement, make sure you
take one that is organic and has all 7 unique forms of
magnesium. 


Our recommendation is Magnesium Breakthrough from Bioptimizers
because it’s made with the highest quality, organic magnesium and
contains all 7 critical forms. Most other magnesium supplements
are synthetic and only contain one or two forms of magnesium,
which is simply not enough.

Ask yourself - do you get enough green veggies each day?


I'll admit, I don't. It's tough to fit all of those greens in
with an active and busy lifestyle.
But getting in your fruits + veggies is SO crucial as a distance
runner for recovery, digestion, and optimal performance.


That's where Athletic Greens is a gamechanger. One scoop has 75
bioavailable vitamins, minerals, and whole food-sourced
ingredients including a multivitamin, multimineral, probiotic,
green superfood blend, and more.


That means fewer stomach issues, more focus and energy throughout
the day (because the workday matters just as much as the morning
run), and overall ... just feeling healthier.


Look, if you're struggling to get those fruits + veggies in - or
if you keep buying them but they always go bad in the fridge -
Athletic Greens will make getting those micronutrients simple and
delicious.
