  • Why take a day off training? We want to train hard, race hard & take any opportunity to improve our performance so surely any time lazing around is counterproductive? Wrong, a common misconception is that rest days are for the weak, they are in fact for intelligent athletes! Heres's why!

    'Your best' doesn't mean pushing yourself to your breaking point. 'Your best' means the best you can do while being the best you. Get enough sleep , give yourself breaks, listen to your limits. 'Your best' is better when you're happy and healthy.

    Thank you for another great video, Heather and GTN. Rest days are still one the most difficult things for me to plan for and accept. Some days feel great and I wonder why I have a rest day scheduled in whilst other days feel like I'm stuck in quick sand despite just coming off a rest day. As a horse racing fan, I had to do a double take as I thought Heather was standing in front of Frankel for a second there!

      I always think about it in "Follow the plan" mentality. If I won't skip my hard or long sessions, I won't skip easy or rest days too. It's the prescribed "workout" for the day and that's it.

    I think perhaps it's good to have a rest day in your schedule when you are adding something new into your routine. I am trying to run lots of hills and I am finding there are certain parts of my feet that need to adapt to the different stressor.

    This subject of rest has come up a lot lately and maybe that is my issue. I will now build something into schedule but it will be tough. I am always scared to lose the fitness I so hard worked for.

    • @NamiseSports
      @NamiseSports 4 года назад +1

      Even Goggins knows that sometimes you have to stop and you have to recover. The thing is that he waits until he literally can't move

    • @petterjensen4470
      @petterjensen4470 4 года назад

      Goggins does active recovery based on his pulse, if resting heart rate is higher than usual in the morning he sticks to zone 1-2 for the day. Source: the man said it himself on jre i think.

    wheni was young i trained everyday, however as i became older, 54 years old, the body is not the same, so i do my 10 k running 3 times a week, now i work 12 hours every day, except sunday i work 4 hours. so i cannot agree with you, because our lives are not based on running for we have other obrigations in life.
