Every athlete needs to assess how they are feeling today. Assess how your body has responded to Monday-Wednesdays sessions and either do the following:
1 – Take a full rest day. If this is the option you choose, then you are not allowed to feel guilty for not going into the gym. Resting is crucial to advancement in your training so if you choose to rest then have no regrets!
2 – Mobilize. Use your regular training time to mobilize. Find your problem areas and spend some time focusing on those areas.
3 – Active Recovery. This could be swimming (you can find our free swim workouts on our Competition blog every Thursday), doing a trail run, a low intensity row session or a run. I have provided a running option for those of you who’d like to run.
For time:
Run 5 Miles @ 80-85% effort
Run this by feel. Pace comfortably such that you’re capable of holding even splits for each mile.
Was going to the jerks and wod from yesterday but not feeling it. Stopped at 140# on split jerk and went to yoga instead. Definitely the right call for me today.
Chose to take a full rest day today and I think my body needed that 🙂 Enjoyed sleeping a little more this morning 🙂
