About this listen

“Just do a short recovery run today.”

Most runners have heard it. Most runners have done it. But easy running is still load, and calling it “recovery” can quietly sabotage adaptation, durability, and long-term performance.

In this 15-minute episode, I break down:

  • what recovery actually is (and when it happens)
  • why easy runs still stress tendons and bone
  • how tissue adapts on a delay
  • why “flushing lactate” misses the bigger picture
  • and what to do instead if you want to train consistently and stay injury-resilient

This episode is evidence-based, runner-focused, and practical physiology explained clearly.

If you want to train smarter, recover better, and stop confusing easy with free, this one’s for you.
