Publisher's Summary
The New York Times best-selling account of the new frontier of sports recovery science, which shows what we should and shouldn't be doing between exercising to achieve maximum performance.
All athletes, from Olympians to weekend warriors, must find the balance between training and recovery to maximize the benefits of workouts and reach optimal performance. For the longest time, coaches and training manuals have emphasized training above all else. However, science shows that recovery is a crucial component of exercise training and it may even be the most important one.
Good to Go is the first definitive account of this new frontier in sports and exercise science. Christie Ashwanden takes you on a first-person tour through the science of exercise recovery, from ice baths and cryogenic freezing chambers to the science behind Usain Bolt’s love of chicken nuggets and Tom Brady’s recovery pyjamas.Full of eye-opening revelations, Aschwanden takes us on an invigorating journey through the science and potions of sports recovery and debunks the junk to give a clear picture of what we should actually be doing to achieve peak performance.
Critic Reviews
"Christie Aschwanden is simply one of the best science writers in the world. Whether you’re striving for a personal best or simply wondering about that post-workout beer, Good to Go is the definitive tour through a bewildering jungle of scientific (and pseudo-scientific) claims that comprise a multi-billion dollar recovery industry." (David Epstein, best-selling author of The Sports Gene)

Unnecessarily Long
Some parts were great, knowing some methods are fake or just great marketing. Sleep is still king in recovery though.
Could’ve been a shorter book, the story of the discovery of recovery is boring

Fantastic book
I like that this book looks in-depth into the science of sports recovery. I like that it covered subjects like hydration, sports drinks, and a whole bunch of other recovery methods. I would recommend this book to anyone who suffers from fatigue or has plateaued in their training and is looking to better
themselves. I chose this rating because this book satisfied me.
