Sports:Running
Are you ready for the big spring races like the Boston and London Marathons?
In this podcast episode, we dive into two key factors for your race day success: tapering and determining your race pace.
📉 We’ll discuss why we recommend a three-week taper with a 85-90% mileage reduction three weeks out and a 70-75% reduction two weeks out from a marathon.
🏃♂️ You’ll learn why it’s important to maintain medium intensity workouts to stay mentally sharp.
🏅 Finally, we discuss how to determine your race pace using clear markers from your workouts leading up to the race.
So whether you're a seasoned runner or new to the game, these tips will help you crush your spring races!

Oladance
If you’re looking for better and safer headphones while you run, then you need to check out oladance.
The unique design of their headphones allows you to listen to your favorite music and podcast while running, yet still hear everything going on around you so you can stay safe.
But my favorite part is that their open-ear-design means your ears will never get tired or fatigued, even after 2 hours or more of listening. That makes them perfect for those super long runs.
Plus, their dynamic driver is 3 x bigger than most headphones, which allows them to deliver superior sound, while still being comfortable.
