Hey there, runners! We know recovery is key to crushing those miles and reaching your goals. While you’re familiar with the tried-and-true classics like stretching, foam rolling, getting enough sleep and fueling up, have you thought about adding SoulCycle into your mix? Here are five tips that show why SoulCycle can seriously amp up your recovery game:
1. Maximize Your Active Recovery
SoulCycle isn’t just an indoor-cycling class—it’s a beneficial way to recover after running. Our high-intensity and low-impact rides are perfect for getting your heart pumping without pounding the pavement. This helps flush out that post-run tension and gets you back to feeling strong, fast.
2. Mix It Up With Cross-Training
Versatility is important when it comes to staying on track with your goals. Adding SoulCycle to your running routine gives you a whole new way to sweat and prevents boredom and burn out to your workout schedule. Hitting different muscles in different ways during the week can help to balance your strength and stamina– plus, it keeps things fresh and fun!
3. Mind-Body Boost
Running is hard on the body and mind. SoulCycle classes bring the beat, the community and the motivation to power you through your toughest workouts. Every ride is packed with energizing music and coaching from encouraging instructors so you’ll sweat the stress away and boost your mood. It’s all about keeping your mind as fit as your body.
4. Flexibility, Flow, and Recovery
Don’t skip the stretch! Flexibility and mobility help to keep your body in motion. SoulCycle’s rhythm-based rides stretch out those tight spots—like your hips, lower back and hamstrings. Our instructors are big on recovering and soothing their muscles with stretching.
“Recovery is just as important as training!” states instructor Aubrey Bailey from Chicago.
Instructor Maisy Harness in Los Angeles adds the importance of implementing, "stretches that target your hips, quads, calves, and hamstrings. Hold each stretch three times for 45 seconds every day to feel results!"
5. Rest and Restore
Take a breather with a SoulCycle session—it’s active enough to keep you in the groove, but gentle enough to let your body recover. Your muscles will thank you.
Instructor Tip: “Rest days are as important as your hard training days, so make sure to honor them. And even if you're feeling great on a slower-paced training day, stick to the plan and don't get too speedy.” - Lindy Flowers, San Fransisco
