What is a recovery week?
A recovery week is a period of reduced training intensity and volume of
about 50%.
When and why?
Planning these periods every 3 to 6 weeks allow the nervous system,
muscular system, endocrine system, and connective tissue to fully recover
and adapt following training.
The end result?
Following a planned recovery week athletes are mentally refreshed and
physically capable of doing more work.
A good recovery only takes your training to a higher level.
