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.
