Maggie Mertens joins the show to talk about her book \u201cBetter, Faster, Farther: How Running Changed Everything We Know About Women\u201d.\xa0

In a wide-ranging discussion, we tie in some of the exciting news on the female-side of the sport including the Lululemon FURTHER event back in March, Jasmin Paris\u2019 finish at the Barkley Marathons, and Claire Bannwarth's dominant multi-day performances across 2023 to discussions around the progress and the work to be done in academic, sporting, and other cultural institutions across society that play significant roles in making pastimes like running more accessible to and supportive of female athletes.\xa0

This week\u2019s show brought to you by:

Mushroom Breakthrough

One of the most difficult things about training hard in the morning is the brain fog and mental fatigue that comes when you\u2019re trying to get your work day going.
\xa0
I am sure all you morning runners can relate to that feeling of not being able to focus and get motivated those first few hours at work.
\xa0
That\u2019s why I was excited when BIOptimizers released its one-of-a-kind product called Mushroom Breakthrough
\xa0
It\u2019s a powdered blend of 5 potent superfoods including 1.2 pounds of concentrated mushrooms, which have been shown in research to enhance memory, focus, processing speed, and more.\xa0
\xa0
It\u2019s the perfect way to not only boost recovery post-run, but improve mental clarity in the morning without taxing your adrenal system with caffeine.

You\u2019ll notice the difference in concentration, focus and mood, especially on those days when morning training really has you feeling tired and unmotivated.
