Are you someone who has a tracker to keep tabs on things like your sleep and calorie count?

We are increasingly obsessed with data and tracking – and we are also increasingly out of touch with the signals of our body.

Christie Aschwanden is an award winning journalist, Nordic skier and the author of the fascinating book - Good To Go: What the athlete in us can learn from the strange science of recovery.

She emphasises the importance of getting in touch with our bodies and learning to directly heed the signals it gives us, and to be with our bodies and minds - without distraction. It’s the key to recovery, relaxation – and vital for a life well lived.
