Summary

Athletes often think of recovery as a weakness or liability to their training. Unfortunately, our barometer of success is often a simple accumulation of training hours without regard to the quality of those hours or what we do in between. If we do give a thought to recovery, it's usually in the form of a rest day or a little foam rolling after a tough session. But, is this true recovery? Are we really allowing our body to adapt to the training stress?

Through two case studies, Matt defines recovery and teaches athletes and high-performers how to integrate it into their training and life roadmap.

Chris Lieto, and how Matt adapted his training to integrate real recovery during his 2008-2009 season, ultimately leading to a 2nd place finish at the Ironman World Championships

The story of "Ken," a Purple Patch age-group athlete, who, like most of us, balance jobs, family, and other obligations. How did Matt integrate recovery into his work and training schedule? It isn't just about athletic recovery.

He also identifies three Components of Recovery and how to integrate each into a time-starved life.

1. Training Recovery

2. Lifestyle Recovery

3. Modalities

With a little planning, forethought, and honest self-reflection, you can amplify your performance with integrated recovery.

Any dipshit can work hard, but it takes courage to recover

0:00.0	I'm Matt Dixon and welcome to the Purple Patch podcast. The mission of Purple Patch is to empower and educate every human being to reach their athletic potential. Through the lens of athletic potential, you reach your human potential. The purpose of this podcast is to help time-starved people everywhere integrate sport into life.
0:19.8	And welcome to the Purple Patch podcast as ever, your host Matt Dixon, and I join you today
0:26.0	from the Purple Patch Center in San Francisco.
0:29.1	And as we dive into this week's show, I would just like to take this opportunity to reiterate
0:33.7	what I mentioned last week.
0:35.3	If you enjoy the show, and then please subscribe and even go
0:39.2	on a little bit of a recruiting drive for others to also embrace the education and fun. And of course,
0:45.6	a quick review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen is greatly appreciated. And for you guys that
0:51.3	really love the show, but also enjoy a little bit of posting of life
0:55.7	on the old interweb, yet all that social media stuff, don't be shy, share it. It helps others
1:02.5	find the show. And yes, yes, I'm talking about you, Susie Mora, in one of my favorite
1:09.6	countries in the world, Colombia. But with all that mentioned,
1:14.5	I think we should get on with this week. You see, I have a quick fix. I've got a lovely vial
1:23.0	of snake oil. It's going to cure all of your ills. I have the magic solution to your performance,
1:33.4	and it comes in a single word, recovery. And as I sell you this, I'm told that I'm called the
1:43.2	recovery coach. Are you buying? Well, you should be,
1:49.7	but not because I'm a quack or that recovery is some quick fix to all of your performance woes,
1:56.9	but you should be buying as nailing your recovery is an equally important part of the equation
2:03.3	in performance as all of that very important and critical, consistent, hard, hard work that you put in
2:10.8	in order to pursue excellence. And so I thought today we would dive into the word recovery. I'm going to break down a couple of
2:21.0	recovery focused case studies. We're going to filter through some of the noise out there and
2:26.1	confusion around recovery and define the important pieces for you. And finally, I'm going to lay out
