Northern Arizona Elite head coach Ben Rosario joins the CITIUS Mag Podcast to discuss his team’s fall marathon plans, cross country, an upcoming documentary and much more.
Ben’s been at the helm of NAZ since the group started in 2014. His athletes have seen success on the track and on the roads, especially in the marathon. Aaron Braun will kick things off at the Chicago Marathon. Scott Fauble, Matt Llano and Scott Smith will race the Frankfurt Marathon. Stephanie Bruce and Kellyn Taylor will take on the NYC Marathon. Ben Bruce will also race a marathon TBD. Ben runs down their hopes and goals for some of these races, provides insight into their training and shares some tips on recovery because that’s important.

Here is a synopsis of Ben’s recovery tips but listen to the episode for his in-depth answers:
- Massage and be sure to listen to your body when it needs a break. Take care of those muscle groups.
- Sleep. Get as much as you can and you’ll feel much better. Eliminate any time that you’re wasting before bed to get some extra minutes.
- Have a hobby outside of running. It helps to get your mind off things before you get overwhelmed with your running obsession.
