We have a new podcast episode out: Rest, Recovery, and Exercise Addiction. 

Overview:

Paul and Howard talk about rest, recovery, and exercise addiction. We range across its causes, diagnosing it, and its consequences. There is a Fairly Crap Transcript™ here, as well as—drum roll!—a tool we created to help you assess how fatigued you are from your exercise program.

Topics:

• What is exercise addiction? Who has it?
• How do I know if I'm fatigued?
• What is rest anyway?
• How is rest different from recovery, if at all?

Readings:

• Enhancing your exercise recovery
• Training errors and other causes of tendinopathy in runners 

Bios:

Paul Kedrosky is a frequently injured athlete who, when he isn't rehabbing, is also a venture investor. Howard Luks is a top sports orthopedic surgeon.
