Ep 135. Recovery, rest and rude books

This episode is all about recovery! I ask Holly what she’s been doing to recover from the Paris Half and, without consulting a single google search, it sounds like Holly is doing all the best things.Resting upShe’s doing exercise for the fun of it, rather than for a goal, and she’s also been eating and drinking for pleasure and whenever she damn well wants. The trick here, however, is to view your recovery as something that’s just as important as your last few weeks’ training, because it’s your rest and recovery that will repair your body and bring you back even stronger for the next goal in your running career.We also talk about introverts and extrovert, nausea on a run, breathing exercises that actually work, and smutty books we love.LinksThis episode is sponsored by the lovely people at Yeo Valley: try the Organic Kefir, it’s proper lushDo join us on Patreon for exclusive newsletters, free monthly Live chats, and Patreon-only episodes!Read our full review of the Paris Half Marathon experience with Sports Tours Grab yourself a copy of Josie’s book, the Ten Pillars of Success, and bag some of her motivation for yourselfBook yourself a race with Sports Tours International!Join the 1% Club and they’ll plant trees for every day you’re active – you’ve nothing to lose!Do please email us at [email protected] with any questions or running stories Hosted on Acast.
