Ross Murray on essential recovery tips for runners …
Ross Murray, 2012 Olympian and OOFOS ambassador outlines his need-to-know recovery basics!
Discussions around recovery for sportspeople is one that’s been involving since sport was in its infancy and is still evolving now.
You can look back as far as the Gladiator days (the Roman Empire ones, not the TV show. Although I have no doubt that Jet & The Wolf had good recovery routines themselves) and you’ll find they had the best diets and physios because their Dominus knew they needed to be fit, strong and recovering well in
between training/battles.
“I believe running in particular is a sport where recovery plays an even more important role than most other sports. Every day you’re pounding your feet, your hips, your back (let’s just say the whole body)
and the amount of calories you burn means you’re constantly at risk of illness or fatigue. Other endurance sports, like swimming and cycling, don’t have to subject the body to that repetitive impact day in, day out.”
There are always new strategies, new products and new studies for runners to think about and it’s hard
to know which ones are actually going to be effective and improve performance.
There are so many that, unless you’re a 9-5 professional athlete with nothing else to do apart from train
and rest, you simply wouldn’t have the time or mental energy to think about them all.
