“Sauna and cold plunge circuits have become a huge part of my regular recovery routine. I prefer to go in the evenings after hard training sessions to maximize the benefits, but I sometimes go on easy run or recovery days as a way to make myself take a break from work. Balancing starting a career and high-performance running consumes my time – I find it challenging to stop and make time for myself, so going to the sauna is the perfect escape. Sauna circuits are the best brain break and productive relaxation.”
