Did you train “harder than ever” for your last race and still come up short?
Are you a masters runner who feels like your times are going in the wrong direction and you need to “right the ship”?
That’s what Russel was feeling after his last marathon, where he trained harder than ever, but still came up short.
In this episode of Training Plan Rescue, Coach Michael digs deep into Russell’s plan to give coaching guidance on some of the mistakes he may have made with his mileage, the intensity of his long runs, and his training paces.
Make sure you listen to this one with a notebook in hand, because you’re going to want to take a lot of notes!
Connect, Comment, CommunityCountless research studies have shown that pillow selection can have a dramatic impact on sleep quality.
For example, a systematic review of ergonomic sleep data demonstrated that selecting a pillow based on your sleep position (on your back or on your side) dramatically improved sleep quality and reduced spinal pain.
That’s why we love the pillows designed by Lagoon.
Lagoon specializes in making pillows designed specifically for runners and athletes to help them optimize their sleep and recovery.
Their sleep quiz pairs you with the perfect pillow for you based on sleep position, body size and more.

LMNTDid you know that you’re likely to sweat as much, if not more, in the winter than in the summer?
That’s because we often wear such warm clothes to start our runs, which leads to more sweating towards the end. Plus, the sweat gets absorbed by our clothes, so it’s harder to notice.
Now, you already know that when you sweat, you lose electrolytes, which are essential for your body's best performance. But you've also been told that too much salt is bad for you, so it can get confusing to know what to do.
The truth is that athletes, healthy eaters, and heavy sweaters all need more sodium and just about everyone needs more potassium in their diet and we don't need a bunch of sugar and artificial junk along the way.
Element is the hydration solution designed with athletes and everyone who sweats in mind. Element comes in lots of salty flavors that even the saltiest sweaters will love, such as citrus, raspberry, and orange. It even comes unflavored for those who prefer the clean, salty taste.
That’s why we recommend all runners check out Element this winter. It's loaded with everything you need to replenish your electrolyte balance with 1000mg of sodium, 200mg of potassium, and 60mg of magnesium, and doesn't include anything you don't need like extra sugar or anything artificial.
Even better, they are currently running a special deal where you can get a free LMNT Sample Pack with any order. So, order your favorite flavor and get a free sample pack to try out new flavors or share with your running friends.
To claim this exclusive deal you must go to drinkLMNT.com/runnersconnect.
