0:00.0	Hello, friends. Welcome to the Nugget Climbing podcast. This is your host, Stephen Dimmit. And today's
0:08.2	episode is another bonus episode. This is a follow-up conversation, which means that this full
0:15.1	episode is only available for patrons who support the show at patreon.com slash the Nugget Climbing. And it being a follow-up
0:25.0	episode means that this guest has already been on the show before. So my guest today is Steve
0:30.1	Bechtel. He is the founder of Climstrong, based in Lander, Wyoming, a very influential

0:39.9	One of my favorite people to talk to. I love talking to Steve. I always learn something.
0:44.4	I've been following his work for years and years. I wrote the forward to his latest book.

1:26.7	training really hard,
1:27.9	you're supposed to be practicing active recovery on your rest days. But what does that mean? How much
1:35.3	recovery, how much active recovery, how much activity is the right amount? Because you don't want to be
1:40.8	training on your rest days, but you want to be doing something because apparently that's better than just sitting on the couch.
1:47.1	But yeah, what do we actually do?
1:48.8	How much is too much?
1:50.2	How much is the right amount?
1:52.1	And we ended up breaking it down and talking about active recovery within a training session,
