This week’s show brought to you by: MAS Iron Outside of training deficiencies, low iron is one of the most common reasons for poor results during workouts and races. Recent research indicates that almost 56% of male runners and 86% of female runners suffer from an iron deficiency that severely hampers performance. The problem with eating iron-rich foods or supplementing with traditional iron supplements is that iron is notoriously difficult for the body to absorb and utilize. In fact, only about 25% of dietary iron found in animal sources is absorbed while 17% or less of the iron from plant sources is absorbed. But MAS Iron has found a way to combat these absorption issues to ensure you can get the iron you need for health and performance. By combining the most efficiently absorbed form of elemental iron with clinically proven ingredients to aid in absorption, MAS Iron performs like no other iron product on the market. In fact, clinical research has shown the combination of ingredients in MAS Iron can quadruple absorption and increase bioavailability by 30%, all while reducing GI issues by 50%. Check out the research and the results for yourself at masedge.com/iron. Runnersconnect fans will automatically save 20% on any purchase.

    SlumberCBN

    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.
