Tricks of the Track: How Running in Circles Can Help You Get Faster

It’s a harmless oval of synthetic rubber. It’s perfectly
measured, free of obstacles or elevation changes. It’s been
engineered to be the best surface to run on anywhere.


So why does a running track evoke fear, intimidation, and even
disgust among some runners? I would bet that it’s even less
popular than the dreaded treadmill (which by the way, is also a
great place to run).


On today’s Run to the Top, we explore:


the common and perhaps misguided perceptions of track
running, 

how you can use the track to get faster and improve,
and 

the important rules of the track, so you won’t look like
newbie out there, even if you’ve never run on a track before.



And we also go into why you just might learn to love it. Yep,
it’s possible!

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.
