Long distance sprinters set on improving their time, as well as those who jog regularly at a slow to moderate pace, share one thing in common: the potential for injuries.  Athletes, particularly runners, deal with pain, inflammation and muscle aches on an ongoing basis.  The good news is: Cannabidiol, better known as CBD, is gaining popularity as a natural solution to inflammation and pain.  As an added bonus, CBD can affect your "feel good" receptors and help you mentally get in a zone to improve your performance, increase your stamina and overall up your running game.

HOW IT WORKS

​

If you haven't already experienced it yourself, you've probably heard the term “runner’s high” used to describe the euphoria runners experience during and after an intense workout.  CBD may enhance this effect by stimulating the production of anandamine, a natural hormone that is responsible for "runners high"  Add to that the fact that CBD derived from hemp contains less then 0.3 percent THC and will not cause any intoxicating effects.

TIP: In addition to taking CBD oil, try CBD topical Calming Cream for immediate relief from pain and soreness after your workout.
