Running doesn’t take a lot of equipment, but racing can be expensive.

The cost of running a world major marathon or another race abroad can really add up but these are our 10 best tips to save a little money on costs such as:

Travel expenses
Nutrition and fueling
Race day gear
Food
Transportation
And more…

While we are giving these tips, we still recognise that it's not going to make it cheap or affordable for everyone.

There’s something really special about running fast with huge crowds cheering you on though so tune-in to find out how you can be a part of that excitement for a little less money.

This week’s show brought to you by:

Personal Coaching

As your training kicks into full gear this spring, don’t underestimate the difference a personal coach can make when it comes to getting the results you deserve.

For newer runners, a personal coach is that expert who can answer every question you have (and even the ones you don’t know to ask) so you’re absolutely positive that each day you’re maximizing your training.

For experienced runners, you’ll finally have someone who knows and understands your strengths and weaknesses in-depth to help you squeeze that last 10% out of your training. Personal coaching is more than just a training schedule.

Working one-on-one with a personal coach from RunnersConnect means you have someone analyzing both your short-term progress, but also helping you plan for long-term progression.

Plus, you get feedback and adjustments on all your runs and workouts so you know you’re making optimal progress.

But, what makes our coaches different?

First, we specialize in working with runners between 45 and 65, not elite athletes.

Plus, our custom platform allows us to dig into your training data to give you insights and advice you can’t get anywhere else.

To learn more and see some of the results runners like you were able to achieve, head to runnersconnect.net/personal.

Plus, you can get a free custom gait analysis through the end of January.

Again, that’s https://runnersconnect.net/personal

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%.

Check out the research and the results for yourself at masedge.com/iron. Runnersconnect fans will automatically save 20% on any purchase.
