Author’s Athletic Origin Story
- Christie Aschwanden describes her athletic background moving from collegiate running to Nordic skiing and cycling after injury.
- She researched recovery by interviewing 250 people and reading over a thousand papers to write Good to Go.

- Recovery is prone to pseudoscience because its importance makes people hungry for simple solutions.
- That hunger draws marketers and scammers who sell 'magic' fixes instead of evidence-based practices.
Don’t Overtrust Single Studies
- Don't treat a single study as definitive; look for the body of evidence and beware publication bias.
- Question industry-funded studies and ask what unpublished negative results might exist.
