Purple Patch Podcast

Welcome to the 5-part Performance Base Layer Series on the Purple Patch Podcast. This series emphasizes the importance of building a foundation for high performance. Your Performance baselayer consists of positive habits that promote good physical and mental health and foster physiological readiness. The Purple Patch pillars of performance, endurance, strength, nutrition, and recovery are the core elements of the performance base layer. In this series, every episode revolves around one of the four pillars of performance. Endurance and movement, strength and resistance training, and proper nutrition have already been covered. Now, let's shift our focus to the fourth pillar: recovery. We will discuss this pillar from two different perspectives. The first perspective is "life performance," which is aimed at anyone who wants to improve their longevity, performance, or overall functioning in daily life. The second perspective is focused on endurance athletes and highlights the specific needs of competitive sports.
