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.Be sure to keep an eye out for Christie's new podcast 'Uncertain', coming soon!

That's what high performance is to me, the ability to adapt rapidly so you can achieve your potential. There are five key pillars to creating the conditions for adaptability: sleep, exercise, mental resilience, nutrition, and community/relationships.” - Dr. Erik Korem   "Stress is your brain and body preparing you to do something effortful." Dr. Alex Auerbach “I maybe have a different concept on leadership. To me, leading is a verb. If you're leading, you're a leader. If you're swimming, you're a swimmer, if you're driving, you're a driver. If you're leading, you're by definition, a leader. I define leading as being looked to in a particular moment to decide or perform an action based on your unique gifts and abilities. So by that definition, everybody is a leader. All rank and role really describe is how many people are hoping you get it right when it's your turn to wear the weight.” - Clint Bruce "Attention is the currency of performance." - Dr. Peter Haberl “That's what I've discovered in the lives of brilliant, prolific, healthy creatives, is that they have networks of people they leverage in the course of their work. That they learn from, that they were challenged by, that they gave great insight and purview into their own life and work, in such a way that they were able to receive feedback that helped them get better at what they do.” - Todd Henry "Restful and fulfilling sleep enables you to grow, adapt, and thrive. It creates the conditions for adaptation, so you can pursue audacious goals and thrive in uncertainty." - Dr. Erik Korem "Most exercise programs fail, not because the reps and sets are poorly designed, but because the program doesn't adjust for how much stress your body can adapt to that day! That's why Dr. Chris Morris' research and practical application of fluid periodization is the key for unlocking your performance potential." - Dr. Erik KoremSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are salt tablets needed? Clinical trials.gov Supplement 411 On Supplements On Hydration - highlighting studies and evidence that drink to thirst is the best guide.  My recommendation, is find out what your body needs.  Keep a simple log that records temperature, effort, duration, fluid consumed, how you performed, how you felt.  If you want to get fancy add weight before, after, and specific gravity.  Generally leans toward there's no evidence it works. https://www.wimhofmethod.com/ On Ice Baths   Video of the Week: Race week || Ironman 70.3 Victoria Prepping for Ironman 70.3 Victoria I feel like both Rinny and TO are seasoned professionals that have integrated training, competing and family life.    "What's New in the 303": https://303cycling.com/governor-jared-polis-to-sign-vulnerable-road-user-bill-5-29-denver-bicycle-cafe/ http://www.ironman.com/triathlon/events/americas/ironman/boulder.aspx Newton Event on Friday, June 7th with Crowie, Chris McDonald, Pease Brothers and more.

Sarah Bowen Shea and Dimity McDowell welcome Christie Aschwanden, author of the just-released GOOD TO GO: What the Athlete in All of Us Can Learn from the Strange Science of Recovery, to talk about, you guessed it, recovery. Christie, a former competitive runner and Nordic skier, tells how people undervalue recovery—and how that oversight can limit people. Learn what she deems the most important recovery “tool,” as well as why runners should have something ritualized that helps them recover.  A “coffee nap”: Find out how this seeming-oxymoron can be beneficial (and how to take one!). Christie stresses the importance of accepting stress and how it can impact your body and mind. The trio talks about why you don’t want to disrupt the inflammatory cycle after a hard workout or race. After trying myriad recovery methods and tools, for her book, Christie shares her favorite—and least favorite—therapies, including the one that finally quieted her “monkey mind.” In the intro, the AMR duo recounts some of their favorite experiences at Rancho La Puerta. Laugh along as Dimity tosses out the phrase, “beginning stripteasers.” And Sarah explains why she tossed out the “micro-dosing” call. Christie joins the episode at 13:55.
