Performance Reveals Recovery Truths
Performance serves as a critical indicator of recovery; if one can maintain or exceed usual performance levels, they are likely sufficiently recovered to engage in intense training. Utilizing performance metrics, such as those from a recovery app, can aid in assessing one's readiness for a workout. If a workout feels particularly challenging or yields poor results, it may indicate the need for a recovery period. Embracing a balance between self-compassion and mental toughness is vital, with the recognition that the best performance may come in times of struggle. Ultimately, measuring recovery through performance outcomes is essential, even for those without a dedicated sport focus, making it a paramount consideration in training strategies.
