This week’s 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’re trying to get your work day going.  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.  That’s why I was excited when BIOptimizers released its one-of-a-kind product called Mushroom Breakthrough  It’s 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.  It’s 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’ll notice the difference in concentration, focus and mood, especially on those days when morning training really has you feeling tired and unmotivated.  For an exclusive offer go to bioptimizers.com/runtothetop and use code RUN10 during checkout.  And the great thing about BIOptimizers is that you can try it risk-free with their 365-day money-back guarantee.
