Setting Realistic Goals

Setting realistic goals is perhaps one of the most important
pieces of starting out your training on the right foot and one of
the most common reasons we see runners struggle with their
training.


So, today we’ll be hearing from  Dr. Grayson Kimball, a
Sport Psychology Consultant in the Boston area who is also a big
runner himself.


In this episode, you’ll learn…


How to know if your goals are realistic and why this is so
important

How to combine setting long-term and short-term goals

Re-setting your goals after an injury or period of missed
running

And how to exceed your limits with mental preparation.



There are a lot of great insights from this interview that are
going to help you plan and prepare for your upcoming fall races.
So, let’s get to it!

LMNT - Summer


Maintaining healthy electrolyte levels will not only improve
performance and endurance on the run, but can help with
preventing headaches, maintaining a healthy weight, and help with
recovery. 


That’s why we recommend all runners check out Element this
summer. 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 get this special offer and make sure you’re hydrating properly
this summer, head over to drinklmnt.com/runnersconnect.


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.
