RNWY Complete Protein is a post-run recovery shake we genuinely stand behind. Here’s why: built on YESTEIN®, a fermented yeast protein that scores a PDCAAS of 1.0, which is the

highest possible protein quality rating. That puts it in the same category as whey but without any

of the dairy. Every serving gives you 25 grams of complete protein containing all nine essential amino acids plus 5 grams of creatine monohydrate and a five-enzyme digestive complex. Get yours at https://rnwy.life/ and use code FEATHERS15 for 15% off your purchase.

Emily Saul is back, and she's a favorite of ours and yours. This time we learn more about her background and how she ended up with a master's in sport psychology. We also get into the transitions a lot of runners go through, like coming back from a break, whether that's injury, pregnancy, or just a choice you made, and learning to meet your body where it is right now. As always, Emily sends us off with some great advice.

We also answer a listener question on collagen — specifically, which types are actually worth taking as an athlete.
