Evie Serventi: You Can Still Have Purpose without Goals - R4R 338

Evie Serventi has been on the podcast more than any other guest - this is her fifth visit! She and Tina are close friends, and she was Tina's sports psychologist. She shares great advice for runners on both ends of the spectrum - those running without a specific goal and those with their eye on a big accomplishment. Wherever you are in your running journey, you'll find something to help you on your current path.

AG1 is an easy way to get 75 vitamins, minerals, and whole food source ingredients. It promotes gut health with prebiotics, probiotics, and naturally occurring enzymes; supports your immune system with Vitamin C, zinc, healing mushrooms, and more; provides magnesium to boost energy; and it's packed with superfoods, adaptogens, and antioxidants to help recovery. It's simple to make and it tastes good! This is the time of year when our immune systems can use a boost, not only because it's cold and flu season, but because with less sunlight, our vitamin D levels drop. Go here to get five free travel packs of AG1, and they'll also send you a free one year's supply of vitamin D3+K2 with your subscription, to help keep you healthy year-round. Tracksmith is an independent running brand inspired by a deep love of the sport. For years the brand has elevated running wear using best-in-class materials and timeless silhouettes that perform at the highest level and can be worn everyday, not just for running. Tracksmith helps the environment by making comfortable, durable clothes that will last for years, rather than winding up in the landfill, but that's not the only contribution they make. They supported Running for Real in creating our RED-S: Realize. Reflect. Recover program. They help athletes who are trying to make the Olympic trials, and they offer scholarships for creatives to work on their crafts. They also have lots of events - Tina will be hosting events with them at the Boston and London marathons. Go here and use the code TINA15 at checkout.
