Episode 59 - Pain Symptom Vs Cause, Active Vs. Passive Recovery, and How to Get Workouts Done When Your Busy

The OCR Underground Show

What was harder the Spartan Sprint in Vegas or waking up Sunday after a race and night out on the strip? It is a close call but I think I will take running a race no matter how hard over waking up early with a hangover.

This past weekend we had a blast racing and spending a fun weekend in Vegas. It started out with a fun visit to Maddam Tussaud's Wax Museum. You can see from the pic above we had a blast with this. One thing I absolutely love about doing all of these races is getting to travel with my wife and have fantastic experiences with her.

In this podcast we do cover the Spartan Race out in Vegas, but also I share some insight into Pain versus Source of Pain. When your knee is bugging you should really be focusing on how to fix your knee or should ou be more worried about what caused the knee issue in the first place?

In my research review, I discuss a great study on recovery. Specifically active versus passive recovery. Doesn't it matter which you do? Well if you want to improve endurance and power then it absolutely does. Listen in to learn more.

And finally in my coach's interview I have on a very special secret guest. They were a little hesitant to be recording for the podcast so I am going to leave it as a mystery for you. You will just have to listen in to find out who it was.

But we discuss our post race thoughts on the Vegas Sprint, how to find time for workouts when life gets in the way, some of our favorite 20 minute workouts, how to get started when you just don't feel like working out, and much more.
