So: we’ve spent three weeks talking about and maybe working on various aspects of fitness. We might be tired. Time to talk about sleep and recovery.
The two are related. Sleep is a great recovery strategy. A whole lot of us don’t get enough sleep and we don’t get good sleep. How to tell? Do you wake up rested? QED.
Recovery is a broader concept. It’s all the things we do to help our bodies feel better after we work them. It includes things like nutrition and massage, foam rolling, and, a concept I would really like to introduce to my Wristy Overlord (aka Apple Watch): rest days.
We will know if we are recovering enough if we are not constantly sore.
