144. Daniel Rowland | Recovery strategies and long term athletic development - reposted
As the summer season is coming to an end and especially after last week's UTMB, we figured it's important to re-listen to this conversation with Coach Daniel Rowland on recovery and managing the time after a race.
It’s a very delicate period, both physically and mentally: we need to make sure that we are actually taking enough time to rest after a race and many months hard training, and we need to start laying the foundation of what is next.
In this conversation we talk about how the cardiovascular, muscular and hormonal systems recover at different times after a race, how we can maintain fitness, how long we should recover within the context of a racing season and with an eye to our long term athletic development.
Daniel Rowland is a trail and ultramarathon runner, a Vert.run coach and an expert in endurance science. Follow him on Twitter @dwrowland !
Enjoy!
