The Athlete’s Guide to Recovery
The Athlete’s Guide to Recovery is the first comprehensive exploration of the art and science of athletic rest. Certified coach and yoga instructor Sage Rountree explains how much rest athletes need, how to measure fatigue, and how to make good use of recovery tools. Rountree details daily recovery practices, demystifying common aids like ice baths, compression apparel, and supplements.
Post-race recovery is critical to performance gains. Rountree offers recovery plans for a variety of events, from short distance bike races to ultramarathons. This invaluable resource enables athletes to maintain the perfect balance between hard training and rest so that they can feel great and compete at their highest capability.

Reviewers overuse the word ‘essential’ in advocating for books they like. The Athlete’s Guide to Recovery is one book that truly deserves this designation. Most competitive endurance athletes do not do enough for recovery and this book is the only comprehensive and credible resource for athletes who seek to address their yin/yang imbalance.
