Muscle recovery, sleep improvements:

I really like the sponge analogy. You want the sponge to be empty, but not completly dry/too much rest.

[joaquinwieczorek]

mate, when you make the París Olympics you should write a book, whether it's an autobiography or some form of tips/guide manual doesn't matter. I'm just mentioning it because you're such a good speaker and knowledgeable athlete

Coming off workouts: Rest is when you get stronger. Thanks for the videos

[spdaltcap]

Stephen, I’ve been keeping up with every video!

Can you please do a self-massage recovery video?

Thank you!

[brycegladdish]

Great emphasis on proper recovery essentials :) Very encouraging to hear from an elite. Makes me really want to look into the running masterclass.

Just keep doing what you’re doing. I’m grateful for this type of content. That’s amazing🏄🏻‍♂️

That's the Horseshoe Bend in Arizona, there is a hefty cliff right there where you are sitting :P

Thanks for the tips 🙂

Top tips, love the sponge analogy! I've been getting max sleep (9 hours ideally) while injured to help my body sort itself out, seems to be working well. Earplugs are also a gamechanger (especially "Loop" brand, as they're comfy for sleeping) for quality sleep. Sorry the coffee was a letdown today :/

What is the best Under Armour shoe for training that is good for normal runs, tempos and long runs?

[ianbarnett]

Another great video. Luv your scoring on the coffee. My wife and I do the same thing. As you seem to be always travelling it would interesting to see a vlog on what you actually take with you ie clothes shoes etc. Must be hard especially with all the running and dirty laundry etc. Just a thought for more interesting material. Thanks again.

Watching this knowing full well I’ve not hydrated properly the last couple days wondering why my legs and body are feeling so trash 😂

[Browny]

What are your thoughts on tools like ice bath and sauna? I’ve been using them in conjunction with constant and consistent stretching and mobility exercises. So far so good, but I definitely need to get my sleep schedule under control.

Hey Stephen love the content! What are your thoughts on icing for speeding up recovery, reducing inflammation etc. Do you use ice packs or ice baths for recovery?

[fecardona]

Hi Stephen, I see you flew American. Not bad for the legs but awful for the stress/ peace of mind. A watch out when traveling 😂

[liggdec]

Great youtube content Scully
Getting better with the camera now lol
For those who are watching these videos too i would highly recommend looking into the running masterclass 10/10.

[joaquimsanches]

Great video! I've got a question, have you ever tried Altra Shoes? Been seeing reviews on them was just curious if you had some experience with them.

[richardmiddleton]

Run slower, more often, protein rich whole food diet and sleep.

the chip on your left arm is for sugar control?
