Ep-070 of the Podcast is now live and available for download on all platforms! In today’s episode, I talk about one of the most overlooked yet most important parts of marathon training: recovery protocols. Running miles builds stress, but real progress comes from how well we recover. I break down the essentials—from the role of quality sleep and post-run fueling, to active recovery routines, mobility work, and the truth about recovery gadgets like massage guns and compression boots. I also dive into the mental side of recovery and how to structure rest days and down weeks into your training plan. If you’ve ever felt sluggish, constantly sore, or like you’re not adapting to the training load, this episode will give you a clear framework for recovering smarter, not just harder. Listen in, recover well, and set yourself up for marathon success!
