Episode notes
Recovery Needs To Match Training
- Recovery should match or exceed training time for elite-level performance.
- Framing training as on-off cycles reframes recovery as an equal priority, not an afterthought.
Train One Day, Recover The Next
- Try training one day on and one day off instead of planning by a seven-day split.
- Use recovery days for sauna, cold plunge, mobility, and daily steps to sustain long-term performance.
Prioritize Longevity Over Daily Intensity
- Avoid training heavy every day to reduce burnout and injury risk; prefer consistency over intensity.
- Prioritize long-term sustainability so you can train for decades rather than push short-term high-frequency plans.
