An Inside Look at What RunnersConnect Athletes are Struggling With Now

On today's coach chat podcast episode, we're going to hear from RunnersConnect head coach Michael Hammond about the common struggles our athletes are facing right now and how we're helping them overcome them.

We've always felt the group atmosphere is part of what sets us apart from most training plans - even other customized ones.

As an athlete, sometimes it's just nice to know that others are struggling with the same issues as you are or are having the same fears and apprehensions at the same time during a training cycle.

When a workout or long run feels harder than you think it should have, it's nice to confirm with other runners that you're not alone and it's part of the process or how you should feel.

So, today Coach Michael is going to give you an inside look at some of the winter running struggles many of our athletes are facing and how you can overcome them too!

Delta G

Ketones have been one of the most well-researched chemicals when it comes to endurance performance. Their only downside is that it typically takes 2 days of fasting for your body to produce them in quantities that would help your performance

But, thanks to deltaG and collaborations from the US Military and researchers from NIH and the University of Oxford, they've developed a ketone drink that can boost your ketone levels to those seen after 2 days of fasting in just 20 minutes.

The academic literature on the effectiveness of ketones for running performance is overwhelming. If you want to see more of the research, head to runnersconnect.net/deltag
