A few months ago we shared a peek inside a week of training of an elite runner, our very own coach Alex Ostberg.

Based on your feedback, you really enjoyed seeing how an elite runner shares the same struggles, doubts, and challenges you do, even though they are running paces and times that seem out of this world.

Well, Coach Alex is back with another relatable glimpse inside a week of training of an elite runner.

Alex is currently building back from a setback in his training, which I know many of us have also experienced. He’ll share…

The mental and physical challenges of building back
The mindset of shifting goals and races when things don’t go as planned
How he’s building his training to come back stronger.

This is a really great, in-depth look at the mindset and training of an elite runner in a situation all of us can understand and learn from.

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 increase 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%

Dri Seats

If you’re tired of sweaty, smelly and stained seats after your runs then you have to check out the car seat covers made specifically for runners from driseats.

DriSeats waterproof seat covers are designed specifically for runners. Unlike towels, they are 100% waterproof and easily fit over your entire seat so you don’t have any missed spots.

Plus, they are super easy to slide over your seat so it’s ready in seconds and they are machine washable so they are easy to clean and be ready for your next run.
