Your Race Is over: Now What?

If you're fresh off a race—or have one on the horizon—this episode is for you: Sarah talks with two coaches who detail the best next steps to take post-race. Coaches Amanda Loudin and Mandy Cherry lay out:-the cycle of building up, breaking down, and all-important recovery; -what constitutes “rest” after a big effort (sorry, no couch involved); -the benefits of easy runs; -surprising-for-Sarah blister treatment; and,-how much time to take between races. Take a swig of Nuun Immunity3 every time a coach utters the word, “microtears.” Post-race talk starts at 15:07.When you shop our sponsors, you help AMR.We appreciate your—and their—support!Refresh your running wardrobe: get $20 off your KORSA order at roadrunnersports.com/amr See here: To try 5 pairs of glasses at home for free, go to WarbyParker.com/AMR You need Indeed: Get a $75 sponsored job credit to upgrade your job post at Indeed.com/AMR Learn more about your ad choices.
