Recover... or else! Come back stronger on the MTB through proper recovery [RNL S1, Ep12]

Ride and Laugh Mountain Bike Podcast

After all the mountain bike training, riding and hard work our bodies need time to recover so we can come back stronger! Proper recovery is time off the bike, body care, nutrition, mental breaks and much more!

Join the guys for a really fun conversation discussing how to recover from hard training & riding. Dan & Sage readily admit that they're not great at taking time off, but they've found it necessary and worthwhile! The guys discuss in-season recovery, end of season recovery, multi-day fasting, massage, foam rollers, sleep, HRV, pump-tracks and much more! Stay tuned as Sage explains how he cracked the frame on his trusty Ibis Mojo 3!

MTB Gratitude of the Week
Sage: Ibis Mojo 3 - Thank you for 6 years of shredding, progression, tech, jumps and stoke! And for not failing catastrophically after getting damaged. A great bike! Thank you!

Dan: Vibrating foam roller! This little (and very loud) device has completely supercharged my recovery. It's almost like a deep tissue massage in your living room. Thank you!

MTB Tip of the Week
TENS machine! Electronic stim to encourage blood flow to an injury. Recover faster from injuries or use them to recover from tough rides!
