👟 Thank you to New Balance for sponsoring this week’s newsletter! I’m a diehard repeat user of the 1080s and also a sucker for all-white shoes. Hey – you don’t make it to the 13th version of a shoe without it being special. Visit NewBalance.com/Running to get your pair.
🥤 What goes better with NCAA cross country than an OLIPOP on the side? Come for the 15 different flavors and stay because you care about your digestive health too! It’s a prebiotic soda with 9g of fiber (32% of your daily needs) that only has 2-5g of sugar and helps your gut in a way that a threshold workout never could. We love OLIPOP because they love track and field! And I am sure if we asked they’d agree cross country should be an Olympic sport.
