Active vs Passive Recovery: Are You Reco...

ISOBEL ROSS
About this episode

Most runners think they know how to recover… until theyrealise their “rest days” aren’t actually restful, their legs always feel heavy, and they’re permanently training through fatigue.

In this episode, Isobel and Ron break down the REALdifference between active recovery and passive recovery — and exactly when each one helps or hurts your performance.

You’ll learn:
• Why active recovery is brilliant in some situations and terrible in others
• The biggest signs you’re under-recovering (even if you’re training “smart”)
• How complete rest can sometimes be the key to your next breakthrough
• The coaching mistakes runners make when choosing recovery strategies
• How to know when your body needs movement versus genuine downtime
• The recovery approach we use with ultra runners who want long-term durability
• Why fear of rest is ruining more athletes than overtraining

If you want to feel fresher, run stronger, and stopsabotaging your training with the wrong type of recovery, this episode will give you the clear, practical answers you’ve been missing.
