After the marathon: How to recover like a Pro ft. Rory Linkletter and Jacob Thomson

It’s the middle of May and if you’re a marathon runner chances are that means one of two things for you: either entering the final weeks, days, or maybe hours of your race taper or, on the other end of the spectrum, relearning the fundamentals of basic human function after your most recent date with 42.2km. With marathon season peaking we’re diving into a topic that’s often overlooked but critically important: recovery. And here to share their knowledge on the topic are a couple of guys who happen to know a thing or two about getting the most out of themselves on race day and bouncing back to do it all over again. This week on The Shakeout Podcast we’re joining forces with Jacob Thomson and Rory Linkletter, professional marathoners, coaches, and hosts of the Out & Back Podcast. Fresh off a pair of Personal best performances at last month’s Boston Marathon, Rory and Jacob are here to share their pro-tips on how to nail the taper, navigate race weekend, crush your goal race, and then get your body ready to go again for the next one. So whether you’re wrapping up your build and looking to put the finishing touches on your fitness to get the most out of yourself on race day or have been there, done that and simply want to find out how you can get back to descending staircases like a normal person again, then today’s episode is for you.
