219: Mobility and Recovery
Feeling tight after a run for days on end? Wondering if you should stretch or not before a run? If these thoughts run (pun intended) through your mind, then you’ll enjoy this episode. Shaun Miller and I specifically discuss the following:
What fascia is
What common runners’ injuries are and why to use an accumobility, tennis, or lacrosse ball to work through the tightness
When to stretch in relation to going for a run
What exercises to do when you’re at your desk
How to take care of trigger points that are inflamed
How applying pressure to inflamed areas can help relax you
What he does in the classroom to help students calm down
Side note: This is one of those episodes where you may want to listen from a place where you can follow along with your own accumobility, tennis, and/or lacrosse ball.
Serena discusses the following during her nutrition segment:
Intense workouts contribute to inflammation. Inflammation causes something called "capillary leak," where your blood vessels literally become leaky and allow for fluid accumulation! Thus, sometimes when you start working out super hardcore, you actually have two to three days of fluid buildup due to this capillary leak. Yikes! Don't lose hope. Fluid disappears, and metabolically active muscle helps you burn more calories.
You retain water during different times of your cycle. In the fourth week, before you get your period, you are most likely to be bloated and retain water.
Remember that salt, hydration status, and water intake also play a role in water retention. Weirdly enough, drinking more water helps you pee more and lose bloat!
