Episode Synopsis

Send us a textStress + Rest = Success!"Recovery is the downtime between workouts and it's the time we transform into fitter athletes. Training physically stresses the body as we ask it to run longer and/or faster. In doing so, we cause microscopic tears in muscle tissue, deplete energy stores, pound bone, tax energy systems, and basically push the limits of our current fitness level. This physical stress causes a frenzy of internal activity as our body rushes to repair itself and prepares to meet this level of stress next time around. This stress and repair cycle ultimately creates a stronger version of our former selves. When the repairing and rebuilding can't keep up with the physical demands of training, then things go awry, and injuries are usually the end result.
