Learning From Injury Setbacks to Run Smarter & Faster

Pretty much every runner deals with injury setbacks. The silver lining is that the recovery process can teach many important lessons.

Coach Andie Cozzarelli joins us on the show to chat about her own injury setbacks and what you can learn from the recovery process.

This is a special episode because after 13 amazing years, this will be the last episode of Run to the Top. If you’re a longtime listener, thank you for your support and we look forward to bringing you more great training content through the RunnersConnect blog and newsletter.

This week’s show brought to you by:

Ketone-IQ

You may have read a lot the last few years about the benefits of ketones for endurance performance, such as mitochondrial efficiency and glycogen sparing.

Your body uses ketones for energy typically during fasting, long periods of exercise, or when you don’t have as many carbohydrates.

The problem is that you typically need to severely reduce your carbohydrate intake in order to take advantage of them, which is difficult to sustain, even for the most dedicated runner.

But, thanks to Ketone-IQ you quickly deliver ketones to your bloodstream, putting you into ketosis within minutes without the need to fast, restrict calories or carbs, or exercise away your glycogen stores.

And the academic literature on the effectiveness of ketones for running performance is overwhelming.

For example, a 2021 study demonstrated that the ingestion of ketones improved mitochondrial efficiency by 7% and 2019 study concluded that using ketones significantly enhanced endurance performance while minimizing overtraining.

MAS NAD+ for Runners

Did you know that by Age 40, your NAD+ levels can be half of what they were at 20? And they only go downhill from there.

This is important because lower NAD+ levels have been shown in research to impact some of the hallmarks of aging such as reduced muscle strength, lower mitochondrial performance and overall energy.

But, just because NAD+ levels decline with age doesn’t mean you have to accept it.

NAD+ from MAS Edge is a groundbreaking formula that can increase your NAD+ levels by 67%.

Their unique formula enhances absorption by 71% and increases uptake and utilization in the body by 167% compared to generic NAD+ supplements.

This means you can slow muscle loss, improve recovery, increase your energy levels, and fight aging at the cellular level.

You can check out the results yourself at masedge.com/nad. Plus, runnersconnect fans will automatically save 20% on any purchase.

If you’re ready to fight all the typical signs of aging and feel a decade younger, this is no-brainer.
