The importance of rest and recovery
The gains don't happen while you're out there running or engaged in physical activity. Actually, when you're running, what you're doing is breaking the body down. And when you rest, the body resets, recovers and heals, and you get stronger as a result. Interestingly, I believe the same applies to life. Right? Taking downtime to reset is like giving your brain and body a well deserved breather, and the benefits are significant

Everything, like, healing and feeling better that there are real benefits of giving your brain some time to slow down and rebuild. That's really potent. So thank you. I appreciate that word. Much love and respect, man. I hope you rest it up well. Bye

There's an old saying in the running community that if you don't make time to rest and recover, your body will force you to rest and recover through injury, illness or just burnout. So that's why it's so, so important. But I'm glad the message resonated. Continued success in all that you do all the best to you and your family, and we'll talk again soon. Bye
