Recovery

As athletes we spend so much time training to improve, become stronger and to race faster. However not as much time is spent on recovery.

When we train we are breaking down our muscle fibres which makes them weaker. Then we finish training and our body starts to recover and repair itself. When the body recovers it will repair the muscle fibres to be slightly stronger than they were before training. This is how training adaptations occur. Therefore we want to maximise recovery to ensure we completely recover and benefit from each session. We also want to recover quickly to be able to start the next session.

To enhance recovery you can:
- Complete a cooldown
- Static stretching
- Consume appropriate nutrition and hydration
- Foam rolling
