Winter is coming, and that means you may be doing the majority of your training in the dark and cold depending on where you live. You don’t have to let sunlight limit your training though!

This episode is about how to get the most out of winter training; from a safety perspective and performance perspective.

This includes answering questions such as:

How your body reacts differently to running in the dark and cold
How to dress on your runs for better visibility and warmth
How to train safely before sunrise or after sunset
How to structure winter training while working towards a goal Spring race
When to throw in the towel and move your training inside

There’s a time and place for training inside or skipping your run but we know it’s way more fun to keep your training going. Make sure you’re doing this safely and tune-in to find out how.

Manukora Honey

Are you looking for a delicious way to spice up your pre-run snacks and make them healthier?

Then you need to try Manukora honey.

Not only is it hands-down the best honey I’ve ever tasted, Manukora Honey contains powerful nutrients to support immunity and gut health.

The bees collect the nectar from the Manuka tea tree in New Zealand. The nectar is packed with bioactives and the honey that is produced has 3 times more antioxidants and prebiotics than your average honey.

A special antibacterial compound called MGO also comes from the nectar of the tea tree.

Manukora third party tests every single harvest for MGO and makes these results available through their QR system.

It’s a game changer, and all you need is 1 heaped teaspoon each morning to get the most out of the amazing bioactives in Manuka.

I love it in the morning before my runs and I’ve found myself craving it as I wake up.

Now, it’s easier than ever to try Manukora Honey. Head to manukora.com/RTTT to get $25 off the Starter Kit, which comes with an MGO 850+ Manuka Honey jar, 5 honey travel sticks, a wooden spoon, and a guidebook!
