How I recover as a runner: Easy Days versus Active Rest Days

Running can wear us all down after a while. We runners must remain vigilant of how our bodies feel, and listen to them when we are going too hard in our training, or too easy. I like to say that arriving at the starting line of a race is best when we are the fittest as possible, while also being as fresh as possible. Walking that fine line in training is always a piece of art. Part of training as runners is recovery, rest, easy days, and making sure our legs are ready to perform at the highest level the following day. For me, an easy day is actually different than an active rest day. These two separate days in a runners training regimen serve two different purposes for my training. Especially this time around as we prepare for the marathon in May, I will be paying special attention to easy days and active rest days. Let me know down in the comments if you have any questions about the differences between these two types of training days. #RUNNING #RUNNERS #MARATHONTRAINING 🔻LET'S CONNECT 🔻 🔸Strava:   / strava   🔸DeMoor Global Running on Strava:   / strava   🔸My Shoe Size: 7.5 men's US sizing 🔻Mailing Address 🔻 Seth James DeMoor PO BOX 1972 Englewood, CO 80150 USA 🔻WATCH MORE BELOW: TOP 3 VLOGS IN PAST MONTH 🔻 🔸Hoka Carbon Rocket vs Nike Vaporfly 4% Flykni:    • Hoka Carbon Rocket vs Nike Vaporfly 4% Fly...   🔸14,000 Mountain Running in Salomon Speedcross 5:    • 14,000’ Mountain Running + "Doubling" Disc...   🔸100 Pound Weightloss to 5K PR:    • 100 lb Weight Loss to 5k PR!!!   ==================================================== 🔻LET'S CONNECT 🔻 🔸Strava:   / strava   🔸Twitter:   / sethjamesdemoor   🔸Instagram:   / sethjamesdemoor   🔸Facebook:   / sethjamesdemoor   🔸Email updates: http://eepurl.com/dH-K05 ==================================================== 🔻WINTER RUNNING GEAR FROM AMAZON 🔻 • TrailHeads Touchscreen Gloves with Reflective Waterproof Mitten Shell: https://amzn.to/2Pj4pfh • Salomon Fastwing Hybrid Jacket: https://amzn.to/2UhJiNM • Toughwear neck and head warmer (Balaclava): https://amzn.to/2EfxPJX • Arsuxeo Men's Active Training Running Shorts: https://amzn.to/2VQo8r5 • Nike Running Tights for winter: https://amzn.to/2X9Tf1l ==================================================== 🔻CURRENT RUNNING SHOES FROM AMAZON 🔻 • New Balance Beacons V1, Men's: https://amzn.to/2z9JbuY and Women's: https://amzn.to/2qPGxG2 • Nike Pegasus Turbo, Men's: https://amzn.to/2DGmW3A ==================================================== 🔻MY FAVORITE RUNNING SOCKS 🔻 • SMARTWOOL: https://amzn.to/2Vn7hMo • STANCE: https://amzn.to/2DGXN96 • DARN TOUGH: https://amzn.to/2CIWfcO • POLAR Extreme WINTER socks: https://amzn.to/2E5MNzN ==================================================== 🔻RUNNING GEAR FROM AMAZON 🔻 • HOKA Recovery Sandal: https://amzn.to/2Aacm1u • ZENSAH Neon Green Reflective Compression Arm Sleeves: https://amzn.to/2zkT3lR • SMITH Sunglasses: https://amzn.to/2CVlHNv • SUUNTO Peak 3 Watch: https://amzn.to/2RXOYM1 • SALOMON XA green running hat: https://amzn.to/2PLQy26 • NATHAN handheld Waterbottle for LONG runs: https://amzn.to/2DH2oYP • PETZL Nao headlamp: https://amzn.to/2GMW3fb • ANTI CHAFE BALM: https://amzn.to/2GQ8veg ==================================================== 🔻RECOVERY ITEMS THAT I USE 🔻 • Hoka Recovery Sandal: https://amzn.to/2U004R8 • Foot Log massage tool: https://amzn.to/2DMdBq2 • Epsom Salt: https://amzn.to/2GYPm9W • Altra Torin Running Shoe: https://amzn.to/2Es1sa0 • Turmeric Tea: https://amzn.to/2VhDxj6av ==================================================== 🔻MUSIC 🔻 • Time Travel by Onyx Music: https://artlist.io/song/7016/time-travel • Closing Song: Floppy Circus ft.
