      Hope you enjoy it Patrick! Be sure to let us know how you get on. With the Triple Magnesium: be sure to shake (not stir) 200-250ml of lukewarm water 1 hour before bed. Also if you track your sleep with WHOOP, Oura, Garmin etc, be sure to pay attention to your deep sleep levels. This relates to the physical restoration of sleep :)

    The form coach was a cool thing that isn’t seen often. A lot of people say that you don’t want to change it too much, but I think there’s little chance of injury if it’s done one thing at a time. Over the years, I’ve transitioned from a heel striker to a mid foot striker and I’ve fixed my arm carriage; reduced upper body torsion. No injuries from any of that and I’m a much more efficient runner.
