The biggest thing that can hold you back in running is not running. Whether it's an injury, illness or lack of motivation, failing to achieve consistency is the reason most people won't fulfil their potential.That's why recovery is so important. It doesn't have to be fancy but getting a lot of the basics right will get you most of the way to guarding against injury or illness and making sure you are mentally prepped to go every session.In today's episode I talk about physical and mental recovery and why both are important and what you can do on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis.To get the Master the Marathon course or enquire about coaching go to ⁠www.therunningrules.com/services
