Recovery After an Ultra: Why Racing Too Often Is Holding You Back

<p>How long should you really take to recover after an ultra, and how soon is too soon to race again?</p><p>After TGC, we share our own recovery process and why jumping back into racing too quickly can hold you back. We talk through what’s happening in the body post-race, why “training races” aren’t really a thing at longer distances, and how recovery ultimately shapes your entire season. Because at the end of the day, you only benefit from the training you recover from.</p><p><br></p><p>🧭 TRAIL TRAINING &amp; ANALYTICS</p><p>Check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<a href="https://www.ascendtrail.app/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠Ascend⁠</a>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for personalised trail running plans and data insights.
