Recovery from the Season

I hope that everyone is having a fantastic Spring Break and you are all getting some rest and recovery!  This time of year after a hard race season the best thing that you can do for your training is to take a break and do a lot of active recovery.  For those of you jumping right in to a spring sport, ease in slowly and be kind to your body.  Think about your bucket, it is empty right now and you need to start putting something back in to it.  The way to do this is through rest, active recovery and over distance work outs.  Speed is not important right now and not even good.

Here is what I would suggest for training for the next month.

Monday:  30 min. Active Recovery Run

Tuesday:  20 min. Run, Bike, Walk / 1 hour Yoga, stretching and rolling

Wednesday:  1:30 Over Distance Ski as long as you can or Rollerski

Thursday:  20 min. Run, Bike, Walk / 1 hour Yoga, stretching and rolling  

Friday:  Go to the Park with some friends and play a game!

Saturday:  1:30 Over Distance Ski as long as you can or Rollerski

Sunday:  Day Off!!
