Pretty much every runner deals with injury setbacks. The silver lining is that the recovery process can teach many important lessons.
Coach Andie Cozzarelli joins us on the show to chat about her own injury setbacks and what you can learn from the recovery process.
This is a special episode because after 13 amazing years, this will be the last episode of Run to the Top. If you’re a longtime listener, thank you for your support and we look forward to bringing you more great training content through the RunnersConnect blog and newsletter.

This week’s show brought to you by:
Ketone-IQ
You may have read a lot the last few years about the benefits of ketones for endurance performance, such as mitochondrial efficiency and glycogen sparing.
Your body uses ketones for energy typically during fasting, long periods of exercise, or when you don’t have as many carbohydrates.
The problem is that you typically need to severely reduce your carbohydrate intake in order to take advantage of them, which is difficult to sustain, even for the most dedicated runner.
But, thanks to Ketone-IQ you quickly deliver ketones to your bloodstream, putting you into ketosis within minutes without the need to fast, restrict calories or carbs, or exercise away your glycogen stores.
And the academic literature on the effectiveness of ketones for running performance is overwhelming.
For example, a 2021 study demonstrated that the ingestion of ketones improved mitochondrial efficiency by 7% and 2019 study concluded that using ketones significantly enhanced endurance performance while minimizing overtraining.
