Episode notes
Unplanned Rest Days
- Prioritize rest when feeling consistently down, especially if not tied to a workout.
- Focus on nutrition and relaxation, not alternative activities like walks.
Post-Break Training Balance
- Returning to training after a long break can create a sense of needing to catch up, leading to neglect of rest.
- Balancing hard work with rest is crucial, but the ratio is difficult to determine, especially after time off.
Managing Unplanned Rest
- One unplanned rest day per week is acceptable, but more may indicate training plan adjustments.
- Consider training load, mental health, or nutritional factors if rest days become excessive.
