How to Apply an Ancient Meditation Practice to Improve your Running Now: Nita Sweeney

As good as running is for our bodies, it’s probably equally good,
if not even more so, for our brains. The mental health benefits
of aerobic exercise have been proven over and over again in
scientific studies.


On today’s Run to the Top Podcast, we explore the topic of
running as a meditation practice with author and runner Nita
Sweeney. You might remember her from being on the show a couple
of years ago. Nita’s back with a new book out called Make Every
Move a Meditation: Mindful Movement for Mental Health,
Well-Being, and Insight.


We talk about:


why you might want to incorporate meditation into your
running

what the benefits are, and

exactly how to start doing it on your run right now.



And don’t worry for all of you out there who bristle with
anything too new agey or woowoo. You’ll learn how you can
actually use some of these techniques to improve your
performance, not just your mental health.

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.
