Skeptical and precise but also immensely enjoyable... a tour de force of great science journalism., When a work like this is written by one of the best science writers in the world, there is much to learn not only from the way [Christie Aschwanden] combines narrative with a clear synthesis of what the scientific evidence actually supports, but also about how the world of sports recovery can teach us something more fundamental about human nature., Deeply researched and artfully written...A must-read for all athletes, from the professional to the weekend warrior.--Michael Shermer, Wall Street Journal Absorbing...Aschwanden separates the facts from the hype in the realm of athletic recovery, dispensing welcome doses of common sense.--David Takami, Seattle Times An intelligent and entertaining tour of fitness research for anyone who exercises, with clear advice on what actually works to aid recovery.--Julia Belluz, Vox As buzzy as recovery is among athletes right now, the question of how to best adapt to and benefit from training is still fraught with confusion...Christie Aschwanden offers much-needed clarity on the subject in Good to Go. --Becky Wade, Runner's World Aschwanden turbocharges Good to Go by relentlessly delving into the science behind the most touted treatment regimes...[Her] persuasive science and snappy writing helped me relinquish some recovery beliefs I'd been holding for years.--Cyan James, Science This book is fascinating!

Recreational athletes, professionals, and coaches alike will find Good to Go entertaining and informative in answering the ever-changing question: How do I feel better, faster? --Jessie Diggins, member of the U.S. Cross Country Ski Team and 2018 Olympic Gold Medalist Christie Aschwanden is simply one of the best science writers in the world. Good to Go is the definitive tour through a bewildering jungle of scientific (and pseudoscientific) claims that comprise a multibillion-dollar recovery industry.--David Epstein, best-selling author of The Sports Gene Recovery is the great athletic obsession of our time. But how much do we really understand about it? Christie Aschwanden cuts through the hype to explore the topic with nuance, humor, and--most important--scientific rigor.

I laughed a lot, and learned even more.--Ed Yong, best-selling author of I Contain Multitudes Christie Aschwanden is the real deal, an engaging and inspiring champion of good science.

Synopsis
Acclaimed science journalist Christie Aschwanden takes readers on an entertaining and enlightening tour through the latest science on sports and fitness recovery. She investigates claims about sports drinks, chocolate milk, and "recovery" beer; examines the latest recovery trends; and even tests some for herself, including cryotherapy, foam rolling, and Tom Brady- endorsed infrared pajamas. Good to Go seeks an answer to the question: Do any of these things actually help the body recover and achieve peak performance?, A New York Times Sports and Fitness Bestseller An eye-opening exploration of how the human body can best recover and adapt to sports and fitness training. In recent years recovery has become a sports and fitness buzzword. Anyone who works out or competes at any level is bombarded with the latest recovery products and services: from drinks and shakes to compression sleeves, foam rollers, electrical muscle stimulators, and sleep trackers. In Good to Go , acclaimed FiveThirtyEight science writer Christie Aschwanden takes readers on an entertaining and enlightening tour through this strange world. She investigates whether drinking Gatorade or beer after training helps or hinders performance; she examines the latest trends among athletes, from NFL star Tom Brady's infrared pajamas to gymnast Simone Biles' pneumatic compression boots to swimmer Michael Phelps's "cupping" ritual; and she tests some of the most controversial methods herself, including cryochambers, float tanks, and infrared saunas. At a time when the latest recovery products and services promise so much, Good to Go seeks answers to the fundamental question: Do any of them actually help the body recover and achieve peak performance?, Acclaimed science journalist Christie Aschwanden takes readers on an entertaining and enlightening tour through the latest science on sports and fitness recovery. She investigates claims about sports drinks, chocolate milk, and "recovery" beer; examines the latest recovery trends; and even tests some for herself, including cryotherapy, foam rolling, and Tom Brady-endorsed infrared pajamas.

It looks like a brand new, unused book in excellent condition, which makes it a super value for the cost. It was shipped in a protective package with free shipping, yet another super value! I am incredibly pleased with this seller, and they even sent me a coupon to buy four and get two books free. That's a fantastic gift and quite generous! Thank you for being an excellent seller!

Could have been packed better, as the item came damaged due to the shippers not handling the box with care. Just a small dent in the corner of a box set for book series. Not the biggest deal. Bubble wrap would have prevented this.
