Every athlete needs to assess how they are feeling today. Assess how your body has responded to Monday-Wednesdays sessions and either do the following:
1 – Take a full rest day.
If this is the option you choose, then you are not allowed to feel guilty for not going into the gym. Resting is crucial to advancement in your training so if you choose to rest then have no regrets!
2 – Mobilize. Use your regular training time to mobilize. Find your problem areas and spend some time focusing on those areas.
3 – Active Recovery. This could be swimming (you can find our free swim workouts on our Competition blog every Thursday), doing a trail run, a low intensity row session or a 30 minute tempo run. Whatever activity you choose to do should be a restorative activity and not deplete you for the remaining week of training.
Open Schedule Note:
We will be scheduling the Open workouts on Friday and then on Monday for those of you who’d like to do the workout twice. With this schedule, you’ll complete the Open workout on Friday, have a regular training day on Saturday, rest on Sunday, then do the Open workout again on Monday. This is the best option for those of you looking to be your best during the Open.
