    Mar 18 2024

    Author of GOOD TO GO: What the Athlete in All of Us Can Learn From the Strange Science of Recovery and co-host of the podcast EMERGING FORM Christie Aschwanden joins Travis on this week's podcast.

    Travis and Christie discuss 'Good to Go,' which explores the misconceptions and marketing surrounding recovery in sports. As veteran endurance athletes Travis and Christie know the importance of recovery, but Christie emphasizes the need to let go of the myth of perfect recovery and instead focus on the basics, such as sleep, nutrition, and rest days.

    Christie also highlights the importance of learning to read your body and recognizing personal signs of overtraining. She encourages athletes to train by feel and not rely solely on data. Christie and Travis also discuss the impact of stress on recovery and performance.
