The Green Lake Runner's Recovery Routine

Green Lake's 2.8-mile loop is one of Seattle's most popular running routes. Whether you're training for a marathon or maintaining a weekly habit, recovery is non-negotiable.

Our therapists recommend a simple stack: 60-minute therapeutic massage on hard training days, followed within 48 hours by a 30- or 60-minute infrared sauna session in our eucalyptus or basswood suite (solo or party of 2). The massage addresses adhesions and trigger points; the sauna flushes metabolic waste and reduces inflammation.

For race weeks, add a red light therapy session of up to 20 minutes for mitochondrial support and reduced oxidative stress.

The Wellness Trio package bundles all three at a savings—and it's HSA/FSA eligible therapeutic wellness.

For metabolic vs. mechanical fatigue—and when to use cold therapy vs. sauna first—see our infrared sauna muscle recovery guide at /learn/infrared-sauna-muscle-recovery.
