Key Principles for Pain-free Running

If you struggle with staying healthy or you’re looking for new ways to improve your running, then this episode is for you! Dr Matt Silver is passionate about helping runners unlock their potential and joined me to chat about his key principles for helping athletes run pain-free and perform at their best. Matt has many years of experience dealing with running injuries both as a runner and a physiotherapist. His latest book titled “Built to run” is self-described as being like a car manual for staying healthy and he has a way of cutting through the noise to give you the most important information to make meaningful changes. This information is meant to help you with becoming a more durable runner and fix common running problems. If you love to run, then you know how much injuries suck. Luckily, the purpose of this conversation is to keep you running and having fun in the sport. Some of the questions we’ll answer include include: ---How do you treat and prevent some of the most common running injuries? ---Do runners really need to stretch? ---What is the difference between mobility work and strength training? ---Does heel-striking actually increase your risk of injury? ---How can you prevent yourself from getting the same injuries over again? The best way to improve your running is to be consistent with training, which requires staying healthy. We covered a ton of great injury-related topics in this interview that will help anyone listening to prevent injuries, recover from injuries, or bounce back from an injury.  <a style="text-decoration: none;" href= "https://www.alphaprojectphyzio.com/built-to-run-book"> Built to Run Paperback - Purchase Link</a> <a style= "text-decoration: none;" href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7ezIF0D5Fg"> How to Perform a Couch Stretch</a> Connect, Comment, Community ---<a style= "text-decoration: none;" href= "https://www.instagram.com/runnersconnect/"> Follow RunnersConnect on Instagram</a> ---<a style= "text-decoration: none;" href= "http://www.runnersconnect.net/podcast"> Join the Elite Treatment</a> where you get first dibs on everything RTTT each month! ---<a style= "text-decoration: none;" href= "http://www.runnersconnect.net/fb"> Runners Connect Winner's Circle Facebook Community</a>  ---<a style= "text-decoration: none;" href= "https://www.facebook.com/onlinerunningcoach/"> RunnersConnect Facebook page</a> ---<a style="text-decoration: none;" href= "https://runnersconnect.net/training-plans/"> GET EXPERT COACHING AT RUNNERSCONNECT!</a> This week’s show brought to you by: Bace   CBD is perhaps one of the most innovative, and misunderstood, supplements in the endurance world right now.   The biggest advantage of CBD for a runner like you is the anti-inflammatory properties.

Rediscovering Fun and Fitness: How a Change in Distance Can Help You Find New Passions and Improve Y...

Sometimes all it takes is a little change to get out of a rut. This proved true for both guests on today’s show, coach Hayley Green and Cherie Turner. After years in the sport, they both discovered a passion for new racing distances and are having way more fun too after making the change.  Hayley recently traded her focus on road marathons for longer ultra trail races and Cherie discovered she much preferred shorter distances to the ultramarathons she was accustomed to. The common theme here is change and how it can make you a better runner. If you’ve ever found yourself hitting a plateau or lacking motivation then you’re going to relate to these stories. Running is a sport that rewards consistency and repetition but that doesn’t mean you have to feel like you’re doing the same thing again and again. There are so many different ways to participate in running. Trying something new might be exactly what you need to reignite your passion or reach new levels of fitness. This show is all about the benefits of trying something new including topics such as: ---How a change in training can make you a better athlete ---How to overcome a lack of motivation with your running ---How your abilities can carry-over to other events or distances ---Signs it might be time for you to change up your training routine I think these lessons are valuable for just about any distance or even for life outside running and I can’t wait to share them with you.  <a style="text-decoration: none;" href= "https://womensrunningstories.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener"> Women’s running stories podcast</a> Connect, Comment, Community ---<a style= "text-decoration: none;" href= "https://www.instagram.com/runnersconnect/"> Follow RunnersConnect on Instagram</a> ---<a style= "text-decoration: none;" href= "http://www.runnersconnect.net/podcast"> Join the Elite Treatment</a> where you get first dibs on everything RTTT each month! ---<a style= "text-decoration: none;" href= "http://www.runnersconnect.net/fb"> Runners Connect Winner's Circle Facebook Community</a>  ---<a style= "text-decoration: none;" href= "https://www.facebook.com/onlinerunningcoach/"> RunnersConnect Facebook page</a> ---<a style="text-decoration: none;" href= "https://runnersconnect.net/training-plans/"> GET EXPERT COACHING AT RUNNERSCONNECT!</a> This week’s show brought to you by: Lumen Have you ever wondered exactly how many carbs you need to fuel your training or if it’s okay to train fasted?   Well, now you can get that exact data with Lumen, the world’s first handheld metabolic coach.   With Lumen, all you have to do is breathe into your Lumen first thing in the morning, and you’ll know what’s going on with your metabolism, including recommendations to improve your pre-and-post workout fueling for better performance and recovery.   What I love most is that Lumen explains what every data point and value means with in-depth videos so you always know what’s going on in your body and what changes you need to make to hit your goals.   Lumen is truly one of the most innovative devices on the market.   If  you want to take the next step in improving your health, go to [lumen.me] (https://www.lumen.me/) and use RTTT to get $100 off your Lumen.

How to Fit Strength Training Together with Running to Improve your Performance

Most runners know that doing at least some strength training is beneficial but figuring out how to fit this into a training schedule can be difficult. On today’s show, coach Andie joins us to cover the “how” and “why” of fitting strength work into your training schedule so you can get all of the performance benefits without feeling like you’re compromising your runs. We get that most of you listening love to run and probably spend a lot of time getting in your easy runs and workouts. That’s why we’re focusing on strength work as a complement to run training and not something you need to choose between. In fact, proper strengthening can dramatically lower your risk of injury to help you run longer and healthier. Nailing the timing and frequency of these workouts will help you progress in the sport even without changes to your running. You also don’t need to spend a lot of time to see these benefits. The key though, is doing the right kind of training for your running goals. During the show, we’ll help you find this perfect balance between strength work and running with topics such as: ---The benefits incorporating regular strength training into your routine ---The muscle groups and exercises that are most important for long-distance running ---Determining the right timing and frequency of strength training for your goals ---Whether it’s better to strength train before or after running ---How to adjust your strength work as you get closer to goal races It can be such a challenge to strike this perfect balance and I’m excited to share this conversation with you on how to fit strength work together with your running.

Safety Tips for Runners

Running should be a safe sport for everyone who participates but unfortunately, that’s not always the case. This could happen for a variety of reasons including injuries, weather conditions, and even harassment. This is especially true for women and people of color who more frequently confront unsafe situations.  On today’s show, we’re joined by coaches Andie Cozzarelli and Hayley Jane to discuss what risks runners need to be aware of to stay safe and tips for dealing with or avoiding these dangers. We’ll hear their thoughts on how running can be made safer.

Overcoming Marathon Bonking: A Peek Inside a Coaching Call

Stephen is a masters runner just like you, but like a lot of runners, has really struggled with bonking during the marathon, despite putting in what seems to be great training. Sound familiar?  When it comes to marathon training and hitting the wall it’s difficult to piece together exactly what the issue is.  Am I under or over training? Is my nutrition, salt or electrolyte intake the cause? How do I start to figure out where I’m going wrong? Well, you’re not alone. In today’s podcast, we’re going to take you inside one of our coaching calls with Stephen Stone, a masters runner just like you, who struggled with the same issues.  We’re going to dissect everything so you can see exactly how we look for the cause of this common problem. By the end of this episode, you’ll have an exact plan for what you can look for in your training.  Connect, Comment, Community ---<a style= "text-decoration: none;" href= "https://www.instagram.com/runnersconnect/"> Follow RunnersConnect on Instagram</a> ---<a style= "text-decoration: none;" href= "http://www.runnersconnect.net/podcast"> Join the Elite Treatment</a> where you get first dibs on everything RTTT each month! ---<a style= "text-decoration: none;" href= "http://www.runnersconnect.net/fb"> Runners Connect Winner's Circle Facebook Community</a>  ---<a style= "text-decoration: none;" href= "https://www.facebook.com/onlinerunningcoach/"> RunnersConnect Facebook page</a> ---<a style="text-decoration: none;" href= "https://runnersconnect.net/training-plans/"> GET EXPERT COACHING AT RUNNERSCONNECT!</a> This week’s show brought to you by: MAS Iron Outside of training deficiencies, low iron is one of the most common reasons for poor results during workouts and races.  Recent research indicates that almost 56% of male runners and 86% of female runners suffer from an iron deficiency that severely hampers performance. The problem with eating iron-rich foods or supplementing with traditional iron supplements is that iron is notoriously difficult for the body to absorb and utilize. In fact, only about 25% of dietary iron found in animal sources is absorbed while 17% or less of the iron from plant sources is absorbed. But MAS Iron has found a way to combat these absorption issues to ensure you can get the iron you need for health and performance. By combining the most efficiently absorbed form of elemental iron with clinically proven ingredients to aid in absorption, MAS Iron performs like no other iron product on the market. In fact, clinical research has shown the combination of ingredients in MAS Iron can quadruple absorption and increase bioavailability by 30%, all while reducing GI issues by 50%.

Running Form Insights From An Expert Physiotherapist

Laura Rutterford joins Run To The Top to discuss several important topics within our community.  We lead with her experience with hip dysplasia and the steps that she took through childhood and early adulthood to get to a point where she had near-perfect running form and the ability to train for and race half marathons.  After that, we get into her professional background as a physiotherapist and some of the insights she’s gained working with running-related clients to rehab various muscles, joints, posture, and overall movement issues.  Then we get into some of the essential exercises she recommends to improve form for endurance athletes and we conclude with her interest in runner-focused pilates.  This was a knowledge-packed episode coupled with touching, inspirational background stories that I think you’ll enjoy.

Top lessons learned from running an ultramarathon

<a href= "https://www.runninginsight.com/the-growing-state-of-ultra-running" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Only 0.3% of Americans participate in ultra races</a> but if you’re not a part of this group (yet) you can still learn from the challenges of these difficult events. Coach Hayley is a talented 2:37 marathoner and recently completed her first-ever ultramarathon by finishing a 50k run through the Endurancelife Ultra Series. She even accidentally ran an extra 2 miles, something Hayley will speak about during the episode. Despite the mishap, she is now preparing for her first 100k race and has some great lessons to share with other runners.

You’ll notice the difference in concentration, focus and mood, especially on those days when morning training really has you feeling tired and unmotivated.   For an exclusive offer go to <a href= "https://bioptimizers.com/runtothetop" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">bioptimizers.com/runtothetop</a> and use code RUN10 during checkout.   And the great thing about BIOptimizers is that you can try it risk-free with their 365-day money-back guarantee. AG 1 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.

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.

Running News: Storylines for the Boston Marathon and London Marathon

Marathon season is upon us and the team at RunnersConnect is bringing you all the greatest storylines going into the Boston and London Marathon. This year’s field of professional runners is loaded leading up to the Paris Summer Olympics and we’ll give you our take on what to expect and who might surprise or disappoint at upcoming marathon majors. We’ll also chat about our thoughts on what to expect from the American Olympic Marathon team who have all opted out of running a Spring marathon. This is not your typical sports commentary show, so expect it to feel more like a conversation among friends than a data dump of performance metrics. We’re throwing out all of our bold predictions and hot takes so you play along and feel free to disagree with anything said. This is going to be a fun conversation that you’ll love if you also get excited talking about long-distance running events. Some of the stories you’ll hear include: ---Will Olympic Trials 3rd place finisher Leonard Korir be competing in Paris? (03:26) ---Our thoughts on how the American Olympic team may be preparing for the Summer Games (14:12) ---Which elite men are likely to surprise or disappoint at the Boston Marathon? (29:58) ---Which American women are favorites to finish well at the Boston Marathon? (43:15) ---And will we see a new World Record from someone in a stacked field of Women at the London Marathon?

The problem with eating iron-rich foods or supplementing with traditional iron supplements is that iron is notoriously difficult for the body to absorb and utilize. In fact, only about 25% of dietary iron found in animal sources is absorbed while 17% or less of the iron from plant sources is absorbed. But MAS Iron has found a way to combat these absorption issues to ensure you can get the iron you need for health and performance. By combining the most efficiently absorbed form of elemental iron with clinically proven ingredients to aid in absorption, MAS Iron performs like no other iron product on the market. In fact, clinical research has shown the combination of ingredients in MAS Iron can quadruple absorption and increase bioavailability by 30%, all while reducing GI issues by 50%. Check out the research and the results for yourself at <a href= "https://masedge.com/iron" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">masedge.com/iron</a>. Runnersconnect fans will automatically save 20% on any purchase. Fatty15 The benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids are widely espoused, and rightfully so, in almost every healthy diet in the world. The problem is that Omega-3 supplements face a lot of issues. From going rancid quickly to cheap forms not being absorbed. But thanks to Fatty15, now there’s a better option. Fatty15’s C15 omega-3 is made from a patented, oxidation-resistant form of pure C15 derived from plants. It’s vegan-friendly, free of flavors, fillers, allergens or preservatives. Plus, independent studies have shown is has 3x the healthy-aging cell benefits of omega-3 or fish oil and that it’s 3x better, broader, and safer than traditional omega-3. C15 works in multiple ways: It repairs age-related damage to cells, protects them from future breakdown, and boosts mitochondrial energy output. Fatty15 is on a mission to replenish your C15 levels and restore your long-term health.
