Daily blog (audio): It's getting better trainers, but not going running ["What supplements should I take?"]

<p>It's getting better trainers, but not going running ["What supplements should I take?"]</p> <p><br> <br> We're on a mission to help one million people RISE by 2030 - join the movement at <a href="http://www.myrise.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.myrise.co.uk</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Imagine you work in a shoe shop.</p> <p>You sell running trainers amongst other things.</p> <p>Your mate keeps coming in.</p> <p>He’s got pretty good trainers already.</p> <p>Each time he asks about getting better and better trainers to help with his running.</p> <p>He wants to get faster.</p> <p>You ask him about how much running he’s doing at the moment.</p> <p>He’s not doing any.</p> <p>Or very little.</p> <p>“You’d probably benefit more from doing some more running” you might say.</p> <p>Makes sense.</p> <p>There’s potential advantage to be had.</p> <p>But only a tiny amount compared to consistently doing the basics.</p> <p>A bit like of lot of supplements.</p> <p>Something people ask us about fairly regularly.</p> <p>“Should I be taking a fat burner / creatine / various latest pills?”</p> <p>From our experience, they’re a bit like the even more expensive trainers when you already have a pretty good pair.</p> <p>They might add half a percent on (if that).</p> <p>But there’s much bigger wins to be had.</p> <p>If our eating isn’t great, we’re drinking regally and / or not exercising as frequently (or at the intensity) that we could……..</p> <p>They’ll make next to no difference.</p> <p>Not an amount that makes them worthwhile compared to other adjustments we could make.</p> <p>They’re tempting because they’re so easy.</p> <p>But the easier adjustments to our eating and just a bit more exercise are much more worthwhile.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Much love,</p> <p>Jon ‘Forrest Gump’ Hall</p>
