In this inaugural episode of our new series on sleep and running performance, Riley Witt delves deep into the science of sleep and why it's a game-changer for athletes, especially runners. We explore the different stages of sleep, their functions, and how they contribute to physical recovery and cognitive function. We also discuss the specific importance of sleep for athletes, including its impact on performance, recovery, and injury risk. Backed by research and real-world examples, we make a compelling case for why sleep should be a top priority in any runner's training regimen.
