2025 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 May 2025, use the code “MarioSpring” for $20 off an order of $100 or more. (Note: the code is good for one use between now and the end of May.)
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).
I’ve been using Final Surge since 2017 to run my coaching business and can’t say enough good things about it. The Final Surge coaching tools and training log have been a game-changer for both me and my athletes, streamlining communication into one easy-to-navigate portal and making my workflow far more efficient and effective. It syncs with Garmin, Strava and various other tracking platforms to import all the data you’d ever need to analyze. There’s a native mobile app for both iOS and Android that makes on-the-go check-ins and communication easy and seamless. Final Surge is super affordable for coaches and it’s totally free for athletes. Check out this page to learn more about what you can do with Final Surge and take advantage of a free 14-day coaching trial. (You can also use the code MORNINGSHAKEOUT for 10% off your first purchase.)
