To be a serious athlete, it’s pretty much a given that you need to be, well, serious. Serious about your training, what you eat, how you recover. You need to choose your races wisely. You need to say no to things that might be a lot of fun, but don’t align with your bigger goals.
Or do you?
Shawanna White is definitely a serious runner, but she is clearly having way more fun than the rest of us. (Okay, speaking for myself here). She manages to consistently run sub-3 marathons, despite being past age 40, despite racing lots and lots of other races, and despite having lots of fun along the way.
In this episode of the Run to the Top, you’ll learn:
- how to train and race a lot when you have a full time job
- why running with friends is so powerful
- how you can keep running well as a master with a few changes
So if you are also a runner who takes yourself too seriously or if you are one that just loves to have fun, Shawanna White is definitely an inspiration.

This week’s show brought to you by:
Magnesium Breakthrough from Bioptimizers.
Supplementing with magnesium before you go to bed has been shown in scientific studies to…
- Increase in muscle oxygenation during high intensity exercise
- Reduce inflammation
- Significantly improve sleep quality
- Improve aerobic exercise capacity when training.
When you’re looking for a magnesium supplement, make sure you take one that is organic and has all 7 unique forms of magnesium.
Our recommendation is Magnesium Breakthrough from Bioptimizers because it’s 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.

Heal from the Amino Company
Heal is an amino acid, whey and creatine based formulation designed to reduce recovery times and improve physical function after injuries by accelerating muscle repair while helping maintain a healthy inflammatory response. Check out the research here: https://aminoco.com/rttt
Heal does contain whey, so it’s not made for vegans, but if you’re not vegan and looking for a nutritional advantage when it comes to recovering from your running injury or your daily training, Coach Jeff highly recommends you give Heal a try.
