Active recovery?
I’ve been resting three days a week for about a month now to see how I feel. It’s been working really well. I haven’t felt run down much and I’m seeing a lot more progress on my lifts.
So today was a scheduled rest day, but my gym teacher doesn’t know that. Even if he did it wouldn’t really matter. So I ran a little bit this morning.
800 m jog
100 m sprint (16 sec)
walk 100 m
200 m sprint (36 sec)
200 m walk
300 m sprint (61 sec)
300 m walk
400 m sprint (2 minutes flat)
walk to locker room
So that was fun. I was the first girl to finish the 100, 200 and 300. It felt good to stretch my legs and it woke me up.
