Run to the Top Podcast | The Ultimate Guide to Running

Why Goal Setting Can Set You Up for Failure (and What to Do Instead)


Listen Later

Runners are inherently goal-oriented - it's why we have race day circled on the calendar.

However, this approach may be actually setting you up for failure. In fact, it can be like trying to squeeze a wet bar of soap - the harder you squeeze the more difficult it is to keep ahold of.

So, in this episode of Run to the Top, we're going to teach you a better way to set goals and walk you through the process step-by-step.

You'll definitely want to listen to this one before you start setting up your goals and training for your next race!

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.

But getting in your fruits + veggies is SO crucial as a distance runner for recovery, digestion, and optimal performance.

That's where Athletic Greens is a gamechanger. 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.

Look, if you're struggling to get those fruits + veggies in - or if you keep buying them but they always go bad in the fridge - Athletic Greens will make getting those micronutrients simple and delicious.
