For those of you new; Pillar Peformance is a sports micronutrition company, who have developed products that intersect between pharmaceutical intervention & sports supplements for athletes. The easiest way to describe it is, hydration and fueling products will take you through to the finish line. PILLAR will get you to the start line, in your best condition, over and over again. The Triple Magnesium is my personal favourite. Like many pro runners such as, Brett Robinson, Charlotte Purdue, Sam Parsons and members of the OAC (George Mills, Tom Elmer). Pillar Peformance has changed the game for my sleep and recovery scores on my Garmin. The product is the brainchild of world renowned ‘father of HRV research’ Dr Dan Plews, and incorporates a leading dose of Magnesium Glycinate. The real kicker though, is how delicious it is!

Professional runner for Tinman Elite, Adidas, and Germany. Sam holds PRs of 3:36.22 (1500m), 3:55.81 (Mile), 7:44.43 (3k), 13:12.78 (5k), and was a World Championships finalist in the 5k last year.

Sam is competing in the 2023 World Championships this upcoming week in Budapest, representing Germany.
In today's episode, Sam recaps a wild past six months and all that has happened. While many professional runners only share the highlight reel of their career, Sam is one of the few who is willing to dive deep into the dark side of the sport. Today's conversation was extremely enlightening through Sam sharing his journey over the past few months. We also dive into his famous "bee-sting workout" and if he'll return for Payday at 5th Ave.
Needless to say, you will not want to miss this one. It is a banger.
