winter running

The winter season is officially here and while most people spend their time inside watching Netflix or curling up to a good book; many runners brave the elements to keep training through tough conditions. If you’re a runner looking to run year-round we’re here to help. In this episode of underrated or overrated, we’re covering winter training topics so you know what gear and training strategies will actually help you to get through the colder winter season.

Training in the wintertime can bring many unique challenges. In colder climates the cold and snowy weather means lots of extra layers and, depending on the conditions, some extra flexibility to find a safe running route. We thought we’d make it simpler to navigate these challenging conditions by answering winter training questions like:

• Does Goretex gear actually help to keep you warm and dry?
• Are mittens or gloves better for protecting your hands during colder runs?
• Should you run through a snowstorm?
• And many more winter training questions!

Muscle Health Plus

We all know how important recovery is for our training and proper recovery always starts with nutrition. Simply put, you need to give your body the nutrients it needs to repair the damage done from the hard work you put in.

That’s where the newest product from Previnex comes in, Muscle Health Plus.

Muscle Health PLUS combines clinically effective doses of creatine, HMB, BCAAs, and AstraGin to make the most comprehensive muscle health supplement available.

Together, these ingredients are clinically proven to decrease muscle breakdown, increase lean muscle mass, boost protein synthesis, enhance strength, improve body composition, and more!

I’m fanatical about my post-workout nutrition and I used to take all of these ingredients individually. Now I have the convenience of a single scoop to get them all…and at a cheaper price.

To check out the science for yourself, head to runnersconnect.net/muscle and use the code RTTT15 to save 15% on your first order.

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!

Ned Chai

Shuteye Chai is a latte for sleep that combines adaptogens, aminos, functional mushrooms, and magnesium wrapped in a heavenly masala chai-inspired spiced body.

Specifically, ingredients such as chaga, reishi, and ashwagandha help calm your central nervous system, which we know is always elevated from training, family and work stress, and too much screen time.

If you’re looking for a delicious way to feel more relaxed and calm before you go to bed and get more quality sleep, discover how Shuteye Chai can revolutionize your sleep and get 15% off with code RTTT.

Go to helloned.com/RTTT or enter code RTTT at checkout.

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

Plus, use the code RTT20 when you do and you can save 20% on any purchase you make.

There’s no doubt that winter running can be some of the most difficult months of training, especially if you have a big race coming up in April or May and you have to be focused on getting in the work.

Motivation fades when every run requires dressing in 10lbs of gear and braving the elements or constantly fretting about how to adapt yet another workout for the ice and snow. 

That’s why in today’s podcast roundup, we’re going to help teach you everything we’ve learned over the past 10 years about training in winter conditions.

And no, these are just another round of “wear layers” type of tips (although we do recommend this). Instead, we’re going to hear from some experts on exactly how to adapt your workouts, stay motivated, and make sure your spring race is your best yet, whatever mother nature throws at you this weekend.
