Recovery - Everything You Need to Know

·1 hr 4 min·4 clips

Three coaches from More Miles Run Coaching deliver a comprehensive deep dive into recovery for runners, covering everything from taper mechanics and post-race recovery blocks to the science of HRV, resting heart rate, and glycogen replenishment. Host Lauren shares a raw personal account of DNF-ing at mile 40 of the CNO 100-mile race after doing the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim-to-rim just 2.5 weeks prior, illustrating the cost of accumulated fatigue firsthand. The episode also dissects popular wearable recovery trackers — Garmin, Whoop, and Morpheus — showing why their divergent scores demand context, not blind trust.
