Thank You Lever! I'm excited to partner with <a href= "https://levermovement.com/">Lever</a> - a bodyweight support system that helps you run further or faster with less effort and injury risk.   You’ve probably seen pro runners using Lever - it attaches to any treadmill and you hook into it like a harness. It effectively makes you lighter, enabling you to run more volume than you normally could with reduced injury risk, run faster with less effort, or return to running after an injury more effectively. Lever allows you to do more running with less risk. From building mileage, introducing faster workouts, aiding your return to running after a break, Lever has a place in every phase of training. The pro’s have been using Lever for years, giving them the advantage of more training with fewer injuries. They’re also common in physical therapy offices. Because you can run with less body weight, you can gain fitness and practice good technique without risking your recovery. Go to <a href= "http://levermovement.com/">levermovement.com</a> and use code Strength20 for 20% off any system (and that’s with a capital S). If you’re injury-prone or are looking to take a big swing at your goals this year, now is the time for Lever. That’s <a href= "http://levermovement.com/">levermovement.com</a> with code Strength20 for 20% off any system. Thank you to 2Before! We are supported by <a href="https://2before.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">2Before</a>, a powerful sports supplement made from New Zealand Blackcurrants designed to increase endurance, manage inflammation, support immunity, and promote adaptation. 2Before main mechanism for boosting performance is acting as a vasodilator - it increases blood flow, making it more efficient for the body to pump oxygenated nutrient-rich blood into the muscles. Just like beetroot but more effective, blackcurrant berries are vasodilators, helping you get more blood flow where it's needed, quickly and efficiently.  My personal favorite option includes 100mg of caffeine, so you get the proven performance (and psychological) benefits of caffeine combined with the vasodilation effects of blackcurrant berries. Boost your performance and immune system with 2before: use code JASON for 30% off 20 packs and multi-serve packs at <a href="http://2before.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">2Before.com</a>. Thank you to 2Before for supporting Strength Running!
