    We’re officially 8 weeks out from the Two Oceans Ultra, and at this stage of your build, doing more is not always better. In this episode of the Constantia Neck Podcast, Shona and Devlin dive into one of the most overlooked performance drivers in ultra training: recovery. Why is it so important right now? What actually happens in the body when you train? And how should you be structuring your weeks to avoid digging yourself into a hole? They unpack the recovery pyramid, the common mistakes ultra runners make this close to race day, and the simple fundamentals that can dramatically improve how you feel from session to session. If you want to arrive at the Two Oceans Ultra start line strong, healthy, and ready to perform, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
