Join the More Miles Run Coaching team as we chat all things RECOVERY (*hint: it's not just kicking up your feet on the couch!)

-What is recovery, really?

-What does it include and not include?

-When and how often do we use it?

-Why does it matter?

-How do we know if we're recovering well, or not?

-How do you know when you're ready to push again?

Recovery is hard, folks! Athletes often have a harder time holding back than pushing forward. We hope you find this episode as a helpful tool in understanding the importance of both, and HOW to recover to perform at your best!

We cover:

-What the run/route is (and is not)

-What makes it unique among other ultra-adventures

-Training and preparation

-Fueling, hydration, and gear

-Why this run is special to Lauren, but also to anyone who is able to experience it.
