⏰ Busy? Here’s how to run anyway


Hi runners, 👋🏼

Katelyn here with newsletter #521!

This week on the Run Long Run Healthy podcast, Brady and Thomas dove into one of the most overlooked parts of training: recovery. They share their go-to recovery habits—and why “pre-fueling” can be just as important.

We’re carrying that theme into today’s newsletter with helpful guides on how to refuel the smart way, whether you’re short on time, energy, or ideas.

Plus, if you’re juggling a packed schedule (and maybe even three kids like Thomas), don’t miss his favorite hacks for fitting your runs in anyway.

Let’s get into it. 👇

  • How to find time to work out: These smart, time-saving strategies will help you stay consistent with your running and workouts—no matter how packed your schedule gets.
  • 🥤 Shake things up with our very own protein shake recipes to boost recovery: Tasty, high-protein blends to rebuild muscle and beat fatigue fast.
  • 🏃🏼 Post-run power-up: How to bounce back faster: Speed up recovery, reduce soreness, and get stronger between runs with this simple yet effective routine.
  • 🍳 Strong starts: Your no-fail runner’s breakfast guide: From quick bites to hearty fuel-ups, here’s how to kick off your run the right way.
  • 🎙️ Missed the podcast? Listen to the science of post-run nutrition: We break down the 4Rs framework for recovery—and what most runners get wrong.

Happy running! 🏃🏻‍♀️⭐
