About this episode
Editors Alex Cyr, Katelyn Tocci and Michael Doyle chat about Alex's trip to Memphis (and his morning runs in a parking lot) (00:48). Then they talk about Marathon Handbook's fancy new website! (06:14). Michael has been testing the Brooks Glycerin Max and shares his thoughts after a big run (09:33); and Katelyn shares her plan for the Kodiak UTMB ultra in California next week! (16:13).
Then, they get into the latest science on how to recover from a marathon, as well as shorter distances (5K, 10K, half-marathon) (19:54). They discuss optimal nutrition, whether or not stretching cooldowns and treatments such as massage or ice baths are effective. They also delve into the latest studies on post-race recovery.
