Any runners looking to avoid injury, feel stronger, or improve their performance need to listen to this enlightening, entertaining episode with guest Sage Rountree, Ph.D., a recovery coach, former Ironman, and author of The Athlete’s Guide to Recovery. Along with hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Tish Hamilton, Sage tells:

-how she’s gracefully accepted being a walker now, not a runner; 

-why runners need to take rest—before it comes for them; 

-what ice baths and hazing have in common; 

-a surprising answer of her favorite recovery tool; and,

-how training for a race is like toasting a marshmallow!

Tish shares some St. Patrick’s Day in Savannah tales before Sage saunters in around 9:49.
