This episode explores how training, performance, and recovery are deeply influenced by the nervous system and our ability to manage stress. Stress from both life and workouts can overload the body, so balancing intentional training stress with effective recovery is essential. The host highlights breath work as a key tool for nervous system health, introducing CO2 tolerance testing and breathing exercises for running like nasal breathing, box breathing, waterfall breathing, and humming. These practices improve oxygen efficiency, tap into the parasympathetic state, and build stress resilience, ultimately helping athletes recover more effectively, prevent burnout, and perform at their best.
