The Athlete's Guide to Recovery
By Sage RountreeThe Athlete's Guide to Recovery is the first comprehensive, practical exploration of the art and science of athletic rest.If you've hit a wall in your training, maybe it's because your body isn't recovering enough from each workout to become stronger.

Athletes who neglect their recovery will gain little from workouts, risking injury, overtraining, and burn out.The Athlete's Guide to Recovery offers a full exploration of rest and recovery for athletes. In her book, certified triathlon and running coach and pioneering yoga for athletes instructor Sage Rountree will guide you to full recovery and improved performance, revealing how to measure your fatigue and recovery, how much rest you need, and how to make the best use of recovery tools.Drawing on her own experience along with interviews with coaches, trainers, and elite athletes, Rountree details daily recovery techniques, demystifying common aids like ice baths, compression apparel, and supplements. She explains in detail how to employ restorative practices such as massage, meditation, and yoga. You will learn which methods work best and how and when they are most effective.
