Recovery can often seem like a whole other discipline for triathletes, especially after hard sessions or during race season when you need to be top of your game for weeks on end. <\/strong><\/p>\n

So how do the elites manage to perform at the pointy end? And what are their secrets to recovering while remaining strong and injury-free come race day? To find out, 220\u2019s Features Editor Rob Slade sat down with pro triathlete and serial middle-distance winner Holly Lawrence to find out.<\/p>\n

Holly competed in her first triathlon at 16 and later had a go at short-course racing, before switching her attention to middle distance in 2015. Success has followed in droves ever since, including an Ironman 70.3 World Championship win in 2016 and many more race wins in the years that followed.<\/p>\n

More recently, she secured a win at Ironman 70.3 Des Moines, a second-place finish at the Ironman 70.3 European Championship in Elsinore and was part of the winning team in the inaugural Collins Cup.<\/p>\n

Now, she\u2019s sharing her tips to help you recover after your training and racing\u2026<\/p>\n

220: How do you recover from hard training sessions?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I\u2019ve been using the Hyperice Normatec boots for 10 years, because to me that\u2019s the easiest solution. I\u2019ve never been good at foam rolling<\/a><\/strong> or anything that I had to really force on myself. It\u2019s so hard to do. I can go to my PT and he can put me through pain, but it\u2019s very hard to do it yourself.<\/p>\n

I get messages all the time asking me, \u2018do you think the boots are a good investment?\u2019 I\u2019m like, \u2018100%\u2019. If you\u2019re going to ever sit on a sofa, you might as well be sat in them because you just generally feel better for it. They\u2019re always out. That\u2019s probably the biggest thing I do for recovery.<\/p>\n
