An eye-opening, myth-busting exploration of how the human body can best recover and adapt to sports and fitness training
In recent years "recovery" has become a sports and fitness buzzword. Anyone who works out or competes at any level is bombarded with the latest recovery products and services from drinks and shakes to compression sleeves, foam rollers, electrical muscle stimulators, and sleep trackers.
In Good to Go, acclaimed FiveThirtyEight science writer Christie Aschwanden takes listeners on an entertaining and enlightening tour through this strange world. She investigates whether drinking Gatorade or beer after training helps or hinders performance, she examines the latest trends among athletes - from NFL star Tom Brady's infrared pajamas to gymnast Simone Biles' pneumatic compression boots to swimmer Michael Phelps' "cupping" ritual - and she tests some of the most controversial methods herself, including cryochambers, floatation tanks, and infrared saunas.
At a time when the latest recovery products and services promise so much, Good to Go seeks answers to the fundamental question Do any of them actually help the body recover and achieve peak performance?

- Complete waste of time. Conclusion of book is nothing works just get some sleep. I found it a depressing read as the author looks to debunk every recovery method. Save your money.
- This is a fascinating and well written book appropriate to anyone wanting to be their fittest.

- Bought this as a present for my husband. He has been working out, staying in shape, for decades but as time goes on, it can get tougher to heal when he "overdoes" on the working out or stretching. He is always interested in taking a scientific approach and also in keeping up with new health trends that seem sound. He is really enjoying reading this book. He finds her debunking of various sport recovery myths interesting and sound, and also likes the writing style, finds it an easy read.
Youth can try anything, heal fast. But as you get older, you want to put your effort into methods that will actually work, both for staying in shape and for recovering from injuries, nagging issues, overuse. This book provides enlightenment. - If you are serious enough about training to buy this book, you already know most of what it will say. If you think it works, it works. And sleep and rest are completely underestimated in the recovery process. That being said, the stories are interesting and it's an easy, enjoyable read.
- I have mixed feelings about this book, I got to a point where it felt like “When is the Author going to believe in somethingâ€. There is still value in the information in it, but i disliked the feel of the writing style, it almost felt like negative or some sort of anger in the writing. I got to a point when I asked myself, “when is she going to like somthing?â€. Advice do not read the last paragraph, it will summarize the whole book in 5 rows.
- Sports recovery has become an obsession among athletes. Christie Aschwanden examines the science of recovery in a skeptical and objective manner. That is so refreshing in a field that is dominated by pseudoscientific claims. But more than that, it is the first book I’ve read in a while that combines outstanding science journalism and fun to read.
Aschwanden is the perfect expert for this topic She is one of the best science writers and a lifetime athlete (she raced on the Team Rossignol Nordic ski racing squad).
In this context, I also recommend Plant Victorious How Athletes Can Push Their Performance Limits With Plants , which delivers a delightful overview about the most effective natural sports foods. - Carefully cuts through the recovery hype. Tells you what works, what doesn't, and presents a level-headed look at where science might lead us.
- Great book. Readable with fine research and engaging style. Clarifies many of the current myths for recovery. If you seriously follow your progress as an athlete at any level, read this.
