Winter Training Part 3: Plan Your Recovery Weeks Before Anything Else

If you have ever said "I just need to get through one more week" during a training block, this video is for you. Getting through is surviving. Not thriving. And it is what happens when recovery weeks are an afterthought rather than a cornerstone of your training plan. In this third video of the Winter Training Series I walk you through why recovery weeks need to go into your calendar before any training sessions, how to structure them properly, and the one thing most athletes get completely wrong about what recovery actually means. What we cover: Why reactive recovery is far less effective than planned recovery The 2:1 ratio I use with all my athletes over 50 and why it works better than 3:1 What a recovery week actually looks like in practice Why I keep short speed efforts in recovery weeks and the neuromuscular reason behind it How to put your recovery weeks into your calendar right now before anything else This is Part 3 of the Winter Training Series. Watch Parts 1 and 2 first if you haven't already. Any questions drop me a message directly." #WinterTraining #TriathlonTraining #IronmanTraining #RecoveryWeek #MastersAthlete
