This week’s show brought to you by:
Lagoon
One of the best gifts you can give yourself or any runner you know this holiday season is the gift of better sleep.
Just like running in the proper footwear, countless research studies have shown that pillow selection can have a dramatic impact on sleep quality.
Studies have shown that selecting a pillow based on your sleep position can dramatically improved sleep quality and reduced spinal pain.
Additionally, pillow firmness and height also had positive impacts on sleep quality when adjusted for sleep position and the subject’s height.
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.
And right now they have an amazing set of Black Friday deals. You can save $20 on any pillow, or bundle and save 25% off a performance pack or save a whopping $120 if you purchase two pillows (one for you and one for your running spouse or friend).
