Listen "Recovery 3 Ways - Acute, Training as Recovery, and Long-Term Rejuvenation"
Episode Synopsis
Today's episode is about recovery, and specifically recovery through three different perspectives: acute recovery - or what you do immediately after a hard workout or race, recovery as preparation - or what you do in training that makes recovery easier, and finally long-term recovery from season to season so you can avoid over-training and burning out. It's helpful to talk about recovery from different perspectives but also different time scales. Because recovery can happen in the micro and in the macro. And I think this is really important because we runners tend to get caught up in this one dimensional form of thinking about recovery where we're only focused on recovery after a run. It's what we do after a race, or long run, or workout, that defines recovery. But recovery is bigger than that and we'll be better runners if recovery is more 3-dimensional.
