Many times, when you go out for a run, you feel better than when you left. A good run can leave you feeling energized and ready to tackle just about anything.

But then there are those runs that leave you dragging and bone tired. You’re struggling to keep up with the last few miles of your long run. Or your cool down from a tough track session feels like you are running through a pool of mud.

Does that mean you overdid it? Just how much fatigue should you feel in training and when have you crossed the line?

On today’s episode of the Run to the Top Podcast, we’re going to get into the science of fatigue. You’ll learn:

• why a certain amount of fatigue is actually important as a runner
• how to use fatigue to your advantage, and
• how to know how much is too much fatigue

If you’ve ever dragged yourself through a run, this is the episode for you!

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.
