Playing the Training Game, Calming the Nervous System, and Race Reveal | Episode 16

In this conversation, Henriette and Jon Albon discuss their experiences with recovery after an ultra trail race, the importance of easing back into training gradually, and the strategies they will employ to prepare for upcoming races. They introduce the concept of 'playing the game' in training, where different training stimuli are likened to cards that can be played strategically to optimise performance. The discussion covers various training cards, including general training load, running impact load, higher intensity training, strength training, and heat training, emphasising the need for balance and careful planning to avoid injury and ensure effective training leading up to races.

Tune in to discover what their next race is and why Jon got disqualified from the Winter Fan Dance back in 2014, and why Earthing and Wim Hof breathing is on their 'to-do list' these days.
