The Missing Recovery Component

Picture
Spring Training is going strong for many CLA athletes right now. The (slightly) warmer, (somewhat) drier days with welcome light makes it a lot easier to get in training and more! When you are hitting your stride with training and life, don't forget that crucial component of recovery: quality sleep!

Race Recovery

Picture
You did it! It’s been months that you’ve had to think about fueling and scheduling and training. Admit it, sometimes your upcoming race consumed all your thoughts, sometimes you did not want to  run or other things got in the way. Life happens and we get it. We have all been there! Despite the ups and downs, you made it to race day ready to toe the line and we hope you had fun on the journey.

And now you are done! Recovering from a race takes many forms. What now?
