Kristian Blummenfelt On Winning Olympics

Welcome to Episode #295 of the 303 Endurance Podcast. You are listening to your weekly connection to coaches, experts, and pro athletes to help you reach your endurance goals. We're your hosts coach Rich Soares and 303 Chief Bill Plock.  Thanks for joining us for another week of endurance interviews and discussion.  This week we continue our celebration and coverage of the Olympics.   Show Sponsor: VENGA CBD   For many athletes, it’s only a matter of time before something in the body gets tweaked, stretched, bumped, or worse, torn, pulled, or broken. Much of the pain we feel as endurance athletes come from inflammation, our body’s immune response to trauma.   Inflammation results from your body’s immune system kicking into high gear to respond to an injury or infection. And while the inflammation does help isolate the tissue and thereby quarantine the problem, it also causes pain.   Finding a solution for pain relief can feel impossible when you’re performing as an athlete nearly every day of the year.   Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID)s - Side effects Opioids - addictive Sports creams - stink and mask the issue CBD - All natural, works with an existing system in your body, non-toxic, non-addictive! CBD works with your body’s innate endocannabinoid system (ECS) to release neurotransmitter molecules that suppress the inflammation mechanisms and reduce pain and allow the tissues to heal faster. CBD works to help you recover from workouts more quickly, bounce back from injury more effectively, and alleviate the discomfort during competition or endurance training.   Just go to https://vengaendurance.com/303podcast to order yours today.
