The all-important rest day.
Following the crossfit template, I usually schedule workouts on the 3 days on, 1 day off schedule. This allows for maximum workload with enough rest to recover fully. Remember that a rest day isn't a time to do nothing, but rather, it's a time to engage in active rest. Take some time to go on a slow, easy jog or hike in the woods. A light session of Parkour will also work, then come home and stretch well. Remember that a big part of recovery is proper diet and plenty of sleep. All of these things together, combined with scheduled longer rests throughout the training cycle, will help prevent "over-training"...which is really just under-recovery. |
