In this episode, Keely and Corrine discuss the Gorge Waterfalls race weekend, the NCAA women’s basketball tournament, and some other races that happened over the past two weeks. Then they deep dive into how to mentally and physically deal with illness during training and how taking a short amount of time off can really help long term. They discuss illness, overtraining, and low energy availability and how they may be related in some athletes. Finally, they shine a new spotlight on society slam with our latest sponsor, Petzl.
