Recovery questions? This is your last stop.

I cannot begin to describe how valuable this book is. Any questions you have about some rinky dink recovery tool will be answered. More importantly the way you program for yourself and clients will hopefully change for the better. SPOILER. Every activity comes at a price, choose what's most valuable to you and focus on being happy! Dr. James has a great voice for this, maintains a professional tone and lightens the mood every few lines. Fantastic book, I will be listening once more.

Straight talk from really smart people

When you’re an athlete, the market for recovery products is insanely saturated. Bands, rollers, supplements, compression, heat, cold, electrical stimulation, massage...the list goes on and on.

So when it comes down to it, what actually matters?

This book gave me straight answers about how recovery affects my training and how my life affects my recovery. It even prioritizes the most important and effective strategies to implement.

I love the straight talk from scientists who know their stuff, rely on evidence, and aren’t selling you a damn thing other than their book.

Athletes who put time, energy and money into their training will find this book well worth their time and money we well.

Best Recovery Book Currently Available

This book is the best recovery resource for lay people. The authors provide an evidence based framework for thinking about training and recovery that is invaluable for coaches and athletes. No fluff, no sales pitches. Highly recommend.

This gave great point to improve my recovery allowing me to train better. Great listen!!

Great "read"

I love the way James narrates - short, cutting the BS and to the point.

Great! Please do more

Tons of great content to learn from here. Loved being able to listen to this vs the ebook. Please do more!

Fundamental reading for any aspiring Athlete.

As a non-professional in the fitness community who was interested in lifting, playing rugby, and moderate distance running, I spent years bouncing back and forth between free online Bro science and fitness influencers. Credible websites offered insightful articles, but I was missing a knowledge foundation from which to grow from. Renaissance Periodization has been my first step into truly understanding scientific methods to approach athleticism.

I’ve been listening to them and reading free information they post online for the last two years, and Recovering from Training only expounds on the ideas already put forward in interviews and informational articles. It heightens their credibility and provides new insights to further fresh out the ins and outs of training recovery. Dr. Hoffman orates splendidly and never allows his inflections to dip with recurring information or dry sections of reading. 5 Stars on everything (no narrative to speak of for “story” but a 5 Star book all around.)

I thought I just wasnt stretching enough..

I thought I just wasnt stretching enough.. and then I read this book, would definitely reccomend it to a fellow athlete.

Every athlete should read this book.

If don’t waste any more of your time doing fancy things that you think will help you recover from training. Take the time to read this book, stick to the basics, and save yourself a lot of time on the back end. Great read!
