Adjusting Recovery Expectations, Training Flexibility & Types of Sugars

Microcosm Coaching Team Call 07/29/2022

On this week's call, we talk about race recovery. Big dream races really push us mentally and physically, upping the time it takes to recover, but athletes often forget to adjust expectations around that important part of the process. Through this conversation, we hope to shed light on how long it really takes to come back after big races with the goal of helping you avoid the challenging pitfalls that can occur during long recovery periods. From here, we segue into a related topic and discuss the importance of flexibility in training. We get into each coach's perspective and best practices for staying flexible with their athletes training plan. To finish off the call, Coach Kylee of Fly Nutrition gets into the four different types of sugars that make up the products and whole foods we use to fuel our workouts, long runs and races.

I hope you enjoy this episode and as usual, if you have any feedback, a question for a future call or are looking for support in your running journey, please visit us on the web at microcosm-coaching.com or contact us at [email protected]
