Have you ever wanted to peek inside the training and the mind of an elite runner?

What does their training look like? Do they have the same ups and downs? What goes through their mind during workouts and throughout the week?

This week our very own coach, Alex Ostberg, peels back the curtain on his most recent week of training to run xxxx.

In addition to getting the details and “why” of his workouts, you’ll also hear him discuss the challenges he faced and lessons he learned throughout the week, including…

How to swallow your pride and adapt your workouts
Standardizing his pre-workout routine to make race days less nerve-wracking
Focusing on the 80/20 rule when it comes to recovery

This is a really great, in-depth look at the mindset and training of an elite runner looking to make huge strides this spring and summer.

This week’s show brought to you by:

Perform from the Amino Company

Perform is an amino acid based formulation that I simply add to my water bottle during my run. It tastes great and is easy on my stomach.

Clinical studies have shown that Perform helps improve endurance, reduce fatigue, and increases muscle protein synthesis so you recover faster after the run. Check out the research here: https://aminoco.com/rttt

If you’re interested in learning more and giving Perform a try, we’ve got a special offer for you where you can save 30% by using the code RC30. Just head to: aminoco.com/rttt and use the code RC30 at checkout to save 30%

Oladance

If you’re looking for better and safer headphones while you run, then you need to check out oladance.

The unique design of their headphones allows you to listen to your favorite music and podcast while running, yet still hear everything going on around you so you can stay safe.

But my favorite part is that their open-ear-design means your ears will never get tired or fatigued, even after 2 hours or more of listening. That makes them perfect for those super long runs.

Plus, their dynamic driver is 3 x bigger than most headphones, which allows them to deliver superior sound, while still being comfortable.

Just visit oladance.com/RTTT and use the code TOP to save 20% on your purchase.
