Good to Go by Christie Aschwanden - King Bob - 06-03-2021
This was mentioned by the Yeti in another thread. It's all about the science of exercise recovery. Well written and entertaining, plus it was a quick read. The big takeaways: get plenty of sleep, and don't use ice.

And drink when you are thirsty (not what I was told by a Sport Scientist back in the day). I’ve noticed over the years that sports “science” tends to do 180 degree flips about every 2 years or so. This book explained why.

Yes! Forgot that.
Also she pointed out that a lot of recovery methods are judged effective purely by sensation: either it must be working because it feels good, or it must be working because it hurts.

The fundamentally unscientific methods used are embarrassing. It was a fun read.
