Welcome to this month's episode of the INNER RACING Podcast, where we shift gears and put recovery in the spotlight.
So often in motorsport, we meticulously plan every lap and every move on the track—but rarely do we take the time to plan how we rest and recharge. In this episode, Greg dives deep into the crucial, yet often overlooked, aspect of mental and physical recovery for drivers and riders.
You’ll discover why recovery is just as important as performance, how your “energy reserves” can deplete over a race weekend, and practical strategies for managing sleep, nutrition, hydration, and mental downtime. We’ll also explore why building in time for simple pleasures and hobbies outside of racing can give you an edge when it matters most.
Whether you’re aiming for peak performance or just to feel your best at the track, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you plan your recovery just as intentionally as you plan your racing. Stay tuned to learn how small changes can make a big difference in your resilience, focus, and results on race day.
