The fall racing season is an exciting time for runners but if you’ve been training hard for a race, it can be tough to regain your motivation and excitement for the sport. In a phenomenon known as the post-race blues, runners can often find themselves feeling lost or even depressed in the days and weeks after racing.
In today’s show, we’re shedding some light on this condition that affects runners of all levels from amateurs to trained elites. Runners spend long blocks of time preparing for races, commonly 12-16 weeks if you’re training for a marathon. The build-up can create a lot of excitement that is suddenly missing afterward so it’s no wonder the post-race blues cause some pretty strong emotions. You’ll come away from this discussion learning all about what it is and how to cope if you or a fellow runner find yourself suffering from the post-race blues including topics such as:

Joint Health Plus from Previnex is clinically proven to reduce joint pain, joint stiffness,and improve joint flexibility in 7-10 days.
In fact, it is clinically proven to be up to 5 times more beneficial than glucosamine and chondroitin alone or in combination.
I saw immediate results when I started using Joint Health Plus and that’s why I reached out to Previnex to see if we could put together an offer for you guys.

UCAN
If you’re looking for a better energy gel that contains no sugar and instead uses a revolutionary slow burning carbohydrate called LIVESTEADY, then you should check out UCAN.
Independent, peer-reviewed studies have shown LIVESTEADY is absorbed quickly through the stomach to reduce GI distress, yet is released into the blood stream slowly to provide sustained fueling without the spikes and crashes typically associated with traditional gels.
By avoiding the sugar spikes, UCAN can help be less reliant on frequent feedings of sugar-based fuels during the run.
All this data means using UCAN can help you avoid hitting the dreaded wall during the half, full and ultra marathon distance.
Head to runnersconnect.net/UCAN to get 6 Edge energy gels for FREE. All you pay is shipping. You can also save 20% on your entire order at ucan.co with code RUNNERSCONNECT
