Training Tips
Jonesing 4 Rest
One of the most important, yet overlooked, aspects of any training program is the rest and recovery phase.
During recovery your body physiologically is seizing the opportunity to repair itself. It is during rest that the body becomes stronger.
There are two types of recovery: Short Term Recovery and Long Term Recovery.
Short Term Recovery: During training this can be done by having a "rest" day or by participating in active recovery which is lower-intensity workouts.
Long Term Recovery: This refers to the rest and recovery that is built in to a seasonal training program. Well-designed training schedules will include recovery days and or weeks.This is when coaches and athletes utilize crosstraining, modify workouts types, and make changes in intensity, time, distance and many other training variables.
It is recovery that allows for a higher level of fitness. Rest days and/or planned recovery is critical for many reasons. Some are physiological and some are psychological. So go ahead, kick up your feet and relax!
