Injury Prevention and Management
This week on the podcast Bek and Siri discuss the ever important topic of injury prevention and management.
Key Tips:
Avoid injury all together.
Once you start feeling something might not be right, if you have a "niggle": STOP. Stretch. Foam Roll. Then try again.
If the niggle is still there, stop and give yourself a couple of days to recover.
Placement of your sessions is everything. Do your swims as a 2nd workout.
Communicate with your coach.
