Not getting enough sleep? Red light therapy may help you.
Sleep is when a lot of critical physiological recovery happens. If you have trouble sleeping or sleeping soundly then you need to improve your recovery routine.
Red light is basically energy for the body.

Why does cold plunge feels so intense at first⦠and then weirdly calming? š§
Hereās a simple breakdown of whatās happening in your body during a plunge:
In the first few seconds, your body reacts to the cold and your heart rate and breathing increase.
Then, as you stay calm and keep breathing, your body begins to adapt.
After about 1ā3 minutes, many people notice they feel more settled, more focused, and more in control.
Thatās why cold plunge is not just about ātoughing it out.ā Itās about learning to stay calm under stress.
At Athlete Recovery Room, we recommend easing into cold exposure safely and building tolerance over time. You do not need a long session to benefit.
Consistency matters more than trying to stay in forever.
Follow to learn more about the benefits of cold plunge and tips to building tolerance.

What do you think has kept you from meeting a training goal?
Comment TEST if you want help
If you're like me, you get a training plan. Maybe even spend money on a coach.
Then you look at your training data weekly. You're on track.
On race day you feel like you didn't meet your expectations.
If you're using smart watch data, prescribed heart rate zones and VO2 max you might be training too hard or not hard enough on some days.
Maybe fueling and hydration have been a problem.
With this test combination, VO2 max and sodium sweat testing, we cover most of your training basics.

Iām Althea Stearns the owner of Athlete Recovery Room. I want to share with you my knowledge and experience of staying physically active & healthy from over 20 years of running. You can count on me to do the research and provide great advice for your recovery needs, to help you have better quality of life and be a healthier happier athlete. If I canāt help you, I have a great network of professionals who love helping people.
Our mission at Athlete Recovery Room is to offer affordable world class recovery therapies and tools to everyday athletes and people to better their health and performance. I believe recovery is one of the most underutilized tools of many athletes. Our philosophy at Athlete Recovery Room is to address recovery proactively, before you experience any issues or pain. We will be offering quite a number of services. Some of them include:
Manual therapy using foam rollers, Roll Recovery, trigger point therapy tools
Cold (Ice Bath) and Contrast (Hot and Cold) therapy
Infrared Sauna
Massage Therapy
My passion for endurance running started over 10 years ago while running with MarathonFest, a local marathon and half marathon training program organized by Track Shack (Orlandoās best running store and resource). Since then Iāve been a pace group leader with MarathonFest off/on over those 10+ years, which has enabled me to learn so much about endurance training and the importance of recovery. I love learning from others and sharing my knowledge. I have Road Runners Club of America Coaching Certification (Apr 2017) and well read in many of the endurance training theories and recovery therapies.
In my running career Iāve ran 51 marathons. 50 of those were ran within 10 years. In one year I ran 7 marathons including a double marathon (Saturday and Sunday). So I know recovery is important. Right now Iām focusing on the 10K distance, but training to run faster. Recovery is just as important when doing speed work as it is for endurance activity. Especially if you havenāt done a lot of speed work in the past.
Just like you I balance my running with a job. Stress is another contributor to how you feel and recovery from stress should be addressed. My past 20 years, Iāve been working at Lockheed Martin as a Subcontract Manager responsible for managing suppliers providing complex subsystems. During this time Iāve developed a lot of good problem solving skills. Iām really good at asking questions to determine the root cause of issues to identify appropriate corrective actions to resolve those problems. Finally, Iām a graduate from UCF , with a MBA and BSBA.
