239: Rest Days vs. Recovery Days: What Runners Get Wrong

from Coach Quip · host Edge Athlete Lounge

Rest days are not lazy days. They are where your body actually absorbs the work. But a lot of runners get them wrong. In this episode, we break down the difference between a rest day and a recovery day, why runners need both, and how to make your days off more effective with better sleep, fueling, nervous system recovery, and a little less guilt. If you’ve ever felt like taking a day off means falling behind, this one is for you.
