Training requires rest and recovery, for you to be your best. Rest is complete inactivity, while recovery incorporates active recovery, stretching, and restorative therapies like ice baths and massage.
Active recovery is one of the best ways to help your muscles recover. Active recovery can be in the form of a recovery ride, where you keep your heart rate low (zone 2 and lower) and usually lasts between 60 and 90 minutes. Active recovery aims to increase blood flow and help your body flush out toxins and lactic acid from your legs.
1. Active recovery rides and walks
2. Stretching and foam rolling sore muscles
3. Increase and prioritise quality sleep
4. Focus on healthy, balanced nutrition
Incorporating recovery into your training routine is a good way to stick to it. Incorporate active recovery rides after interval sessions, monthly sports massages, and/or ice baths, compression boots, and massage guns, and focus on healthy, balanced nutrition.
