Episode Notes
There are 3 main pillars of recovery - sleep, nutrition/hydration, and easy movement.
In this episode, we talk about the third pillar. In our training programs, easy movement primarily manifests as recovery running. These are the glacially slow runs that enable blood flow which promote healing for the next long or hard thing. If you are skipping your recovery runs, then you are likely on the bullet train to injury.
So, get in those recovery runs and do them at paces that are slower than you think. Your body will thank you and so will your next PR.
