#65: Mads Taersboel - Myths about running and how to keep up your game Growth Island

    • Health & Fitness

Each step we run consumes movement from 200 muscles 🏃. But you properly got other reasons why you run. Whether it is to compete in races or to stay active.

To get the secrets of how to run better whether you are a pro or beginner or pro I interviewed Mads Taersboel, one of the fastest 5km runners in the Nordic and a former competitor at the European Championship. Mads is also a person you could spend limitless hours chatting with as he spreads amazing energy, positive vibes, and inspiration.

We will look into the fundamentals of running, motivations, top performance hacks, and tools as well as various methods to keep yourself up with the best running routines. Also, we might find ourselves feeling stuck once we reach our best performance or we start to tumble down due to an injury or lack of motivation. What do we do then?

Mads has founded Peak4ever and he is one of my favorite athlete-nerds that spends lots of time and effort on improving his physical and mental performance. Mads holds a master's degree in Competitive and Elite Sports, he has extensive experience as a high-performing athlete and a running coach, and today Mads will share various tools, tests, and techniques that can help any athlete get a better understanding of their utmost performance capabilities
