Recovering From Injury, Nicole Mericle / ENDURANCE

The Hard Way w/ Joe De Sena

“It’s that important. It’s like, basically you approach recovery as if it’s like your most important workout of the week, but you do it everyday, probably,” says Nicole Mericle.

Spartan Up Endurance Series host, Johnny Waite, talks with Nicole Mericle about her recovery from tearing her ACL, and how we can find the mindset to recover and come back better than before. In this episode you’ll learn about…

• Focusing on what you can control yourself during each step of recovery
• Approaching recovery the same way as training, and how athletes need to treat recovery more importantly than their workouts
• Learning from previous and current injuries
• Having the necessary support and reinforcement from those around you during recovery
• The obstacles you think are the easiest are the ones you’re more likely to get hurt on

Nicole Mericle is an OCR and Spartan legend, 2019 Spartan Race World Champion, and founder of OCR Dream Team, Elevating women in OCR.
