This week\\u2019s show brought to you by:

Magnesium Breakthrough from Bioptimizers.\\xa0

Supplementing with magnesium before you go to bed has been shown in scientific studies to\\u2026

• Increase in muscle oxygenation during high intensity exercise
• Reduce inflammation\\xa0
• Significantly improve sleep quality
• Improve aerobic exercise capacity when training.

When you\\u2019re looking for a magnesium supplement, make sure you take one that is organic and has all 7 unique forms of magnesium.\\xa0

My recommendation is Magnesium Breakthrough from Bioptimizers because it\\u2019s made with the highest quality, organic magnesium and contains all 7 critical forms. Most other magnesium supplements are synthetic and only contain one or two forms of magnesium, which is simply not enough.

For an exclusive offer go to magbreakthrough.com/runtothetop and use code run10 to save 10% when you try Magnesium Breakthrough. Plus, they offer a full refund up to one year after your purchase, no questions asked.

LMNT

When coaching endurance runners of all levels to be their best, I always emphasize the need for proper hydration with the right balance of electrolytes. Most athletes I\\u2019ve coached are surprised to learn that their sodium needs are actually much higher than they expected and it\\u2019s been hurting their performance.\\xa0

Part of the reason athletes need much more sodium than they think is not just because they lose electrolytes through their sweat, but also because athletes tend to eat very healthy diets. They\\u2019ve been told that salt is a bad thing in food and frequently don\\u2019t get enough for their lifestyle.\\xa0

Much of the science of sodium is based on people who eat highly processed diets which also are very low in potassium. It could actually be the low potassium levels causing the issues that sodium has been blamed for!\\xa0

What is clear is that both sodium and potassium at the proper levels are essential for high performance (and for life in general!).\\xa0

That\'s why we partnered with LMNT to offer a free sample pack of their electrolyte mix.
