How To Conquer Your Fear of Trails and Run Wild: Anne George

Trail running can be intimidating to lots of people. What if you
get lost, break your ankle, or see a snake? I’m not sure that
you’re safer running in the city with weirdos and speeding BMWs,
but I think it’s pretty normal to be intimidated by trail running
if you’ve never done it before.


Anne (Wheatly) George is on the Run to the Top today to help us
out. Anne has challenged herself with some of the toughest trails
in the country. She has run Rim to Rim to Rim of the Grand Canyon
twice, including one trip all by herself. She’s run the iconic
Nepali coastline in Hawaii solo, trekked her way to Everest base
camp and run/hiked her way up half dome in Yosemite twice to name
a few of her adventures. 


When she isn’t adventuring, she enjoys ultra trail racing. Anne
has completed the Tunnel Hill 100 miler in 16 hours with a second
place finish. She also earned second at the Bear 100 and took
First place overall at Badwater Cape Fear 50.


In this episode we talk about:


the misconceptions about trail running,

how to stay safe and get better at it, and

how to train and fuel your next adventure



If you’ve ever wanted to try trail running or if you already love
it and want to get inspired, this is the show for you.

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.
