The 3 Minute Solution For Faster, More Powerful Running: Dr Eoin Everard

Do you ever feel like you are missing out on key training
elements that could actually help you get faster and stronger? If
you are stuck in a plateau or a cycle of injury, there are some
changes that can help.


Eoin Everard is a physiotherapist with a PhD in Biomechanics who
studies what makes runners faster and stronger. He’s the founder
of everardpilates.com. and he certainly has discovered what works
on himself. Eoin has won 5 national senior running titles, has
represented Ireland on the international stage from 800m to 10k
Cross Country. He is a sub 4 minute miler and ran sub 14 minutes
for 5k just last year. Finally, he is the current indoor 3000m
European O35 champion.


And besides all of that, Eoin is utterly delightful to talk to.
We went a little longer than usual with this conversation,
because there is just so much good stuff!


You’ll learn:


Eoin’s 3 minute drill to add on to a run to get more power,

why you should not bother to fix your form on the run,
and 

why static stretching is not as evil as you might think it is
for runners.



This is an amazing conversation that I promise you’ll learn a lot
from. And if that’s not enough, Eoin is giving all of the Run to
the Top listeners a free download of his super helpful ebook for
runners called  "Get to the line in the best shape
possible."

LMNT


When coaching endurance runners of all levels to be their best, I
always emphasize the need for proper hydration with the right
balance of electrolytes. Most athletes I’ve coached are surprised
to learn that their sodium needs are actually much higher than
they expected and it’s been hurting their performance. 


Part of the reason athletes need much more sodium than they think
is not just because they lose electrolytes through their sweat,
but also because athletes tend to eat very healthy diets. They’ve
been told that salt is a bad thing in food and frequently don’t
get enough for their lifestyle. 


Much of the science of sodium is based on people who eat highly
processed diets which also are very low in potassium. It could
actually be the low potassium levels causing the issues that
sodium has been blamed for! 


What is clear is that both sodium and potassium at the proper
levels are essential for high performance (and for life in
general!). 


That's why we partnered with LMNT to offer a free sample pack of
their electrolyte mix.


Head to drinklmnt.com/runnersconnect to get yours now. The Sample
Pack includes 8 packets of LMNT (2 citrus, 2 raspberry, 2 orange,
and 2 raw unflavored).
