Recharge your mind and body after the Comrades Marathon

--:--
On this edition of the Ask Coach Parry podcast, I’m Brad Brown, Lindsey Parry joins us once again. Lindsey, it’s just after Comrades 2015 and a lot of people have obviously achieved their goals, but many people have also failed in attempts. Whether it be at a specific time, if they were going for a Bill Rowan or for a bronze medal and even sometimes missing a cut off. But a lot of people are itching to get back onto the roads, let’s talk about recovery after Comrades. It’s a big effort, it takes a lot out of you, when should you seriously think about starting to run again. I know runners are the world’s worst, they get itchy feet, but you really want to rest up a bit after an effort like the Comrades.
