In today's episode I'm talking Recovery Techniques in the form of Recovery Rituals. These rituals will help you be more energetic, lower your risk of injury, and you'll enjoy better climbing sessions. Find out the role of energy in your body, and how it effects your recovery. Also learn how to reevaluate your training intensity and volume, as well as create better habits around nutrition, sleep, your recovery techniques, and mental well being.
