About this episode
If you're fresh off a race—or have one on the horizon—this episode is for you: Sarah talks with two coaches who detail the best next steps to take post-race. Coaches Amanda Loudin and Mandy Cherry lay out:
-the cycle of building up, breaking down, and all-important recovery;
-what constitutes “rest” after a big effort (sorry, no couch involved);
-the benefits of easy runs;
-surprising-for-Sarah blister treatment; and,
-how much time to take between races.
Take a swig of Nuun Immunity3 every time a coach utters the word, “microtears.” Post-race talk starts at 15:07.
