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 30 minute tempo run. Whatever activity you choose to do should be a restorative activity and not deplete you for the remaining week of training.
The Masters Online Qualifier Events will be released this evening at 5:00 pm PDT. We will be diligently working to get you strategy notes for the weekend, which will include ideal times to attack each event. We will upload the notes to the blog as soon as we have them completed.
Bodywork. 🙂 Ahhhh….:) Some light bike later today.
