How Women Can (Finally) Even the Field In Running: Dr. Megan Roche

For the first time in history, just over 50% of all races are run
by women.  


While women are leading in the number of participants, research
on women in sport is still stubbornly behind the guys’. We know
that women and men perform differently, carry and use fat
differently, as well as react to pain differently. Typically, men
are bigger, stronger, and faster, until you get to the ultra
distance, where women can actually break the tape first.


On today’s Run to the Top, Dr Megan Roche, 5-time national trail
champion and Stanford researcher explores the science behind the
biological differences between men and women in endurance
running.  


And this is not just a show for the women runners. Guys, you’ll
want to listen up as well if you want to know why the women are
getting better and better.

This week’s show brought to you by:
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. 


My 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.

use code run10 to save 10% when you try Magnesium Breakthrough.
Plus, they offer a full refund up to one year after your
purchase, no questions asked.

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.
