2026 partners
Both the newsletter and podcast are made possible with sponsorship from the following partner brands, all of which have missions I believe in and products that I trust and use myself on a regular basis. One of the best ways to support the newsletter and podcast is by patronizing the partners that help keep them going week in and week out. Check out some of the discount codes and special offers available exclusively to readers and listeners of the morning shakeout below.
Tracksmith is an independent running brand inspired by a deep love of the sport. If you buy anything on Tracksmith.com between now and the end of 2025, use the code “MARIO15” for $15 off an order of $75 or more. (Note: The code is good for one use between now and the end of the year.)
The 1080 has been my go-to daily trainer for the past 5 years—it’s the shoe that I run 75% if not more of my weekly miles in—and this latest version picks up right where the v13 left off without missing a beat. As the workhorse in my stable, the 1080 is durable enough to handle the daily pounding underneath my feet but lithe and responsive enough to run fast when I feel like it. The Fresh Foam X 1080v14 is available at your favorite run specialty store or at newbalance.com—men’s sizes here, women’s sizes here. (Here’s my rotation of different models of New Balance shoes I use for various types of runs.)
I’ve been a devotee to Precision Fuel & Hydration products since 2017 and my last several marathons wouldn’t have gone as well without them. Precision Fuel & Hydration helps athletes personalize their hydration and fueling strategies for training and racing. Use the free Fuel & Hydration Planner to get a personalized race nutrition plan for your next event. As a listener and reader of the morning shakeout, you can get 15% off your first order of fuel and electrolytes at this link (the discount will be auto-applied at checkout).
