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.
Optional Run Session
Run a 5k (3.1 miles)
Did Tuesday
C&J a. 115 b. 125 c. 145
Wod 5:31 felt so slow , have a head/ chest cold
Split squats 20 lb dB
BB hip 85 lb
No time for bench ?
I hope you feel better – sometimes it is nice to get a sweat on when you’ve got a head cold but make sure intensity is low so the body isn’t more stressed
Did the Row @ low intensity 6,238 m @ 30 min. Feel like that was a good choice as I don’t always get to row that long.
Awesome choice Kare!
