Learn How to Target Your Weaknesses by Training the Right Muscle Fiber Types

Do you ever wonder why some runners are better at shorter
distances while others are far more suited to longer distances?


 


Well, a lot of this has to do with the type of muscle fibers
you’re predisposed to having.


 


But, what many runners don’t know is that there are ways to train
to specifically target certain muscle fiber types and thus
improve our weaknesses.


 


In today’s episode, Coach Andie is going to take an in-depth look
at muscle fibers to better understand how they influence your
training.


 


You’ll learn what the different muscle fiber types are and what
they do and how to specifically target each in your training.


 


Now, don’t worry, you don’t need a science degree to follow
along, she’ll keep it simple.

This week’s show brought to you by: Delta G

Ketones have been one of the most well-researched chemicals when
it comes to endurance performance. Their only downside is that it
typically takes 2 days of fasting for your body to produce them
in quantities that would help your performance


But, thanks to deltaG and collaborations from the US Military and
researchers from NIH and the University of Oxford, they’ve
developed a ketone drink that can boost your ketone levels to
those seen after 2 days of fasting in just 20 minutes. 


The academic literature on the effectiveness of ketones for
running performance is overwhelming. If you want to see more of
the research, head to runnersconnect.net/deltag

Mobility Wall

We all know how important foam rolling is for staying injury-free
and just plain feeling better for every run.


But, let’s face it, many of us skip it because clearing out space
on the floor feels like too much work, the pressure is too
painful and difficult to control, or you can’t seem to hit the
right spots.


That’s why I was so amazed when I saw the door-mounted foam
roller from Mobility Wall. 


The Mobility Wall device mounts to your doorframe in just a few
seconds and is easy to move up and down the frame in just a few
seconds. 


Not only does this get you off the ground and ready to foam roll
in just a few seconds, it also allows you to easily hit muscles
in your neck and shoulders that aren’t possible with a
traditional foam roller. 


Even better, because you’re off the ground, you don’t have to
control gravity to adjust the pressure. You simply use upward and
inward pressure, which is much easier to control. The days of
painful foam rolling are over. 


If you’ve been wanting to get more consistent with your
injury-prevention work this year, the Mobility Wall foam roller
will be a game changer. I can’t believe how much more I’ve been
foam rolling since I started using it. 


Plus, we’ve got a special offer for you. Just go to
mobilitywall.com/RTTT or enter RTTT at checkout for 20% off your
first order. Plus, it comes with a free app that gives you video
instructions on exactly how to hit every area.
