Thoughts on recovery

Posted September 23rd, 2009 by Dave Smay - This entry has been tagged with: health, racing, training

More and more athletes are realizing the value of recovery weeks in training. Common schemes include a rest week every 3rd or 4th week.

But something you might think about is what to do in that recovery week. You have 3 variables to modify…frequency, duration, and intensity.

So to reduce training stress, you might cut the number of workouts, cut workouts short, or just do the same volume but all at an easy pace.

What works best? Good question. Experiment on yourself.

Currently, I like to reduce frequency so I get more time with family. I cut out a couple of hard workout days early in the week and then get back to my regular long run/ride on the weekend. 3-4 days with low to no training seem to be enough to rejuvenate me.

What do you do?
