“Deeply researched and artfully written.” - Michael Shermer, Wall Street Journal“As buzzy as recovery is among athletes right now, the question of how to best adapt to and benefit from training is still fraught with confusion…Christie Aschwanden offers much-needed clarity on the subject in Good to Go.” - Becky Wade, Runner's World“Aschwanden turbocharges Good to Go by relentlessly delving into the science behind the most touted treatment regimes…[Her] persuasive science and snappy writing helped me relinquish some recovery beliefs I’d been holding for years.” - Cyan James, Science“Science writer and athlete Aschwanden engagingly zooms in on the neglected topic of exercise recovery...

Christie Aschwanden makes the mind-boggling world of sports recovery a hilarious adventure, and she mixes science with stories that everyone can relate to. Recreational athletes, professionals, and coaches alike will find Good to Go entertaining and informative in answering the ever-changing question: How do I feel better, faster?” - Jessie Diggins, member of the U.S. Cross Country Ski Team and 2018 Olympic Gold Medalist“Christie Aschwanden is simply one of the best science writers in the world. Good to Go is the definitive tour through a bewildering jungle of scientific (and pseudoscientific) claims that comprise a multibillion-dollar recovery industry.” - David Epstein, best-selling author of The Sports Gene“Recovery is the great athletic obsession of our time. But how much do we really understand about it? Christie Aschwanden cuts through the hype to explore the topic with nuance, humor, and―most important―scientific rigor. The result is a much-needed reappraisal of how we should think about recovery, making Good to Go the most important book about training you’ll read this year.” - Alex Hutchinson, best-selling author of Endure“This authoritative, delightful, and much-needed book slices through the hype around athletic recovery, and will surely cement Christie Aschwanden’s status as one of the world’s top science writers. I laughed a lot, and learned even more.” - Ed Yong, best-selling author of I Contain Multitudes Christie Aschwanden is the lead science writer at FiveThirtyEight and a former health columnist for the Washington Post. A finalist for the National Magazine Award, her writing has appeared in Outside, Discover, Smithsonian, and O, The Oprah Magazine. She was a high school state champion in the 1,600-meter run, a national collegiate cycling champion, and an elite cross-country skier with Team Rossignol. She lives and occasionally still races in western Colorado.
An eye-opening 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 readers 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’s “cupping” ritual; and she tests some of the most controversial methods herself, including cryochambers, float 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?
Fascinating book about the world of sports recovery 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.
