3 Things I Do to Get the Most Out of Every Workout 🏃♀️ 1️⃣Recovery Recovery is essential because it allows the body to repair microtears in muscle fibers and replenish glycogen stores, leading to increased strength, endurance, and efficiency. Cross-training also engages complementary muscle groups, boosts cardiovascular capacity, and promotes active recovery by improving circulation and reducing inflammation for greater performance gains. My go-to recovery activities include walking, lifting, and swimming! 2️⃣Nutrition Nutrition fuels workouts, enhances performance, and supports recovery. Proper nutrients optimize energy levels, repair muscle damage, and help your body adapt for better results. I fuel before, during, and after most of my runs, depending on their length. I’ve added @SaladPower to the mix for its high nutrient density—2x the daily recommended vegetables and FDA-approved! Sometimes I blend it into a protein smoothie, or I drink it on its own. 3️⃣Training Variety While running is my primary focus, I incorporate cross-training to stay balanced and follow a structured program to maximize progress. I mix in long runs and speed work tailored to hit my specific goals.
