Fascinating Training Lessons From Ethiopian Marathon Runners

Why does it make sense to Ethiopian runners to get up at 3am to
run up and down a hill? 


Who would choose to train on almost impossibly steep and rocky
terrain, in hyena territory? 


And how come Ethiopian men hold six of the top ten fastest
marathon times ever?


Michael Crawley spent fifteen months in Ethiopia training
alongside (and sometimes a fair way behind) runners at all levels
of the sport, from night watchmen hoping to change their lives to
world class marathon runners, in order to answer these
questions. 


In this episode of the Run To the Top Podcast, we dig into the
insights from his experiences and learn how they can apply to
athletes at all stages of their running journey

Stress is a common factor that affects everyone in today's
fast-paced world, leading to various health issues, including
heart problems, inflammation, obesity, and mental illness.


While most people focus on finding relief through meditation or
trips to the spa, what if the root cause of stress is actually a
deficiency in a key nutrient?


Introducing Magnesium Breakthrough, the ultimate magnesium
supplement that offers the full spectrum of all seven types of
magnesium, specially formulated to reach every tissue in your
body for maximum health benefits.


This one-of-a-kind product is designed to reverse low levels of
magnesium, which could be causing a multitude of health problems.


But what sets Magnesium Breakthrough apart is its ability to
impact the release of stress hormones, like cortisol, and block
the activity of more stimulating neurotransmitters, leading to a
more peaceful and resting state.


This means that this supplement acts like a brake on your body's
nervous system, helping to calm and soothe, promoting a better
quality of life.


If you’re interested to see just how much Magnesium can help,

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.
