In this holiday-themed episode, hosts Paul Warloski, Dr. Paul Laursen, and Marjaana Rakai shift the focus away from hustle and mileage to explore the restorative power of seasonal slowing down.
Drawing on Nordic traditions and endurance science, the trio discusses how embracing the darkness, cold, and stillness of winter can lead to better recovery, mental clarity, and long-term athletic gains.
From saunas and snow plunges to puzzle nights and mindful movement, this conversation is a permission slip to pause and rethink what productive training really means during the holiday season.
Enjoy your holidays!
