What makes the biggest impact when it comes to recovery strategies and tools for runners?
Dr. Peter Tierney is a health and performance researcher, consultant, and coach who’s worked with many professional sports organizations to help athletes recover effectively from exercise.
Peter’s “Big 5” recovery strategies are science-backed and possible for runners to add to their training and lifestyle.
In this episode, Peter and I talk about:
Recovery as part of a lifestyle, not just a post-exercise tool.
The Big 5 recovery strategies for runners and endurance athletes, and how to use them.
Adaptation vs. performance as recovery outcomes in endurance athletes.
Tips for better sleep strategies for runners.
Nutrition for running recovery.
Balancing running, commitments, and life stressors for optimal performance.
Hydration and electrolyte balance for runners and the link to recovery.
How socializing with friends and family can be an effective recovery tool.
If you’re already wondering whether your current recovery tactics are helping you perform better and stay healthy, this episode will give you great recovery strategies to start implementing today.
