"A well-executed recovery plan can accelerate a return to the trails with enhanced performance and well-being. Effective recovery balances rest with active recovery to optimize recovery outcomes."
"Active rest is essential for post-race recovery. Purely passive rest can fall short, as the orthopedic system benefits from gentle movement to maintain mobility."
Summer offers opportunities for trail running and ultramarathon racing, with many events already completed. Success depends on preparation and recovery. A rushed recovery can hinder upcoming races. Effective recovery involves balancing rest with active recovery. Holistic strategies enhance performance and well-being, allowing runners to recover from mid-season events effectively. Active rest not only aids in recovery but also maintains mobility, countering the effects of strenuous racing. A recommended guideline suggests resting for one day per 10 miles of high-intensity effort, and one day for every 20 miles of slow ultra-distance running.
