This week's show brought to you by: Magic Mind You listeners know I do the majority of my runs and workouts in the mornings. And like you, this often results in a major afternoon slump. From just overall fatigue to brain fog that makes it hard to be creative and productive.

Slumber There's no denying that sleep is one of the most powerful factors to upgrading your overall health and running performance.  We all know it by now, but sometimes no matter how well-intentioned we are; getting good, quality sleep doesn't come easy.  Sometimes you can't get your mind to relax, other times you toss and turn all night. One way or another, it all leads to poor quality sleep.  That's why we've partnered with Slumber, the leader in science-backed sleep supplements using CBN.  CBN is a hemp-derived melatonin alternative which promotes rest, relaxation, and sleep.  And it works.  In a recent 2024 study, participants who used Slumbers Deep Zzzs CBN Gummies for 30 days reported significant improvements in time to sleep, got 72 minutes of extra deep, and reported waking up 1.5 less times per night on average.  What I love most is that you can mix and match different formulations to specifically address your goals or your own struggles with sleep.  If you want to see the research and learn more about how these amazing CBN gummies can help improve your sleep, head to slumbercbn.com/runnersconnect  Plus, this link will get you 30% off.

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast: Second Wind, we share a remarkable story of accountability from The Running Well store that transformed a minor expo table mishap into a lesson in ownership and integrity. After mentioning the incident on Monday's episode, the store reached out with an apology, demonstrating the power of taking responsibility in the running community. Inspired by this gesture, we dive deep into how accountability shapes every aspect of our running journeys: from the honesty required in training logs and the ownership of race performances (both triumphant and disappointing), to the responsibility we hold in recovery practices and as stewards of our running environments. We explore how the most respected athletes, races, and brands demonstrate accountability, and why developing this trait might be as important to your long-term running success as any training plan. Whether you're struggling with consistency, managing a running setback, or looking to deepen your connection to the running community, this episode offers practical insights on how taking ownership can transform not just your running, but your relationship with the sport itself.

I am talking this week about how you need to stop running (or having a hard workout) on an empty belly. I debunk the most common questions on why people decide to do fat adapted workouts/runs. I also talk about why people don't eat before workouts/runs because of GI issues. I have done both of these and I give you a lot ideas on what to do instead of these fat adapted workouts/runs.  This episode originally aired July 17, 2023.
