Recovery

There are two kinds of recovery.

• During a session, it is the time between two efforts. In intervals you jog 1 to 2 minutes to keep your heart working; in sprints you walk 2 to 3 minutes to go again just as fast.
• Between sessions, it is during rest that your body adapts and improves. Leave 48 hours between two hard sessions, keep easy or rest days, and sleep enough.

Signs you should ease off: tiredness that lasts, heavy legs, poor sleep, a resting heart rate higher than usual. Kadence’s coach adapts your week when it sees them.
