Sleep as a practice
Recovery begins with repeatable conditions: a regular wind-down, a room that supports sleep, and a schedule that respects the rest required by demanding work.
Recovery is part of the training design.
Low intensity has a role
Walking, gentle mobility, and ordinary movement can help an athlete remain connected to their body without adding another hard session.
“Recovery is not an empty space between serious sessions; it is where the body makes sense of the work.”
A weekly audit
- Did the week contain a genuine low-demand day?
- Was soreness changing movement quality?
- Did meals and hydration match the training context?
