Run Too Hard: Ambitiously Relentless
At Level Select we champion the relentless. The athletes who push their limits everyday and inspire everyone else to do the same. The ones who live ambitiously. The ones who never stop. That's why we champion Run Too Hard - the ambitiously relentless run club based out of Humboldt Park, Chicago. The crew has been unstoppable since The Speed Project, a grueling 48-hour non-stop relay from Los Angeles to Las Vegas.
Conquering Hood to Coast
After crushing the 340-mile desert trek of TSP, RTH took on yet another incredible challenge—the Hood to Coast relay in Oregon. Spanning 198 miles from the rugged peak of Mount Hood all the way to the Pacific Ocean, this iconic relay race once again tested the grit, determination, and teamwork that defines the crew's spirit.
From elevation changes and coastal winds to fatigue and late-night running, RTH persevered through every mile, proving that their hustle never wavers, no matter the terrain. Hood to Coast isn't just another race; it’s a marathon of endurance, strategy, and camaraderie—and RTH showed the world what they're made of.
Gearing Up for the Chicago Marathon
The Run Too Hard crew is gearing up for their next big challenge—the Chicago Marathon. There’s no place like home, and on October 13, the team will showcase their speed, endurance, and unyielding drive on the iconic streets of the Windy City.
To prepare for this 26.2-mile test, RTH has been pushing their limits with a rigorous training regimen. Early-morning runs through Humboldt Park, strength and mobility workouts, and weekly long-distance sessions have built the stamina they need. But preparation isn’t just about the run—it's about staying healthy, recovering fast, and maximizing performance.
Level Select's marathon training essentials:
-
Recovery is key after intense training, and nothing speeds up muscle repair like proper sleep. Restful Sleep Gummies with Broad Spectrum CBD and melatonin ensure deep, restorative sleep that’s crucial for muscle recovery and mental rejuvenation. Without solid sleep, athletes risk burnout and injury—so quality rest is non-negotiable.
-
Gut health is often overlooked in athletic performance, but it’s crucial for energy levels, immunity, and overall endurance. Daily Enhanced Probiotics support the digestive system and optimize nutrient absorption. Keep sustained levels of energy high and support rapid recovery during grueling training.
-
After long runs and tough workouts, muscle and joint relief is essential to keep pushing forward. LVL 3 Sport Cream and LVL 3 Sport Rolls provide powerful relief that eases soreness and discomfort. Rapid relief and accelerated recovery for the relentless grind. Whether it's post-run recovery or mid-training relief, these products ensure you're ready to train every day.
-
When the miles get long, extended relief and recovery is critical to avoid injury and keep progressing. LVL 3 Sport Recovery Patches deliver targeted, long-lasting relief to sore muscles and joints. Bounce back quickly without missing a step.
From Humboldt Park to Grant Park, the RTH team isn't just running a race—they’re running for their city. "STAY HUMBOLT" isn't just a phrase, it's a mindset, and the team is ready to represent with pride as they take on the City of Broad Shoulders.
MARATHON. RECOVER. REPEAT.
Level Select is beyond proud of RTH’s relentless spirit and their journey from The Speed Project to Hood to Coast, and now the Chicago Marathon. Their dedication to both their craft and their community is a testament to grit, perseverance, and pure determination.
