Larry’s Deep Thought: Recovery day is a day to reduce the stress in your workout so your body can recover. Keep the day relaxed.
There are hard days and easy days in every training schedule.
Some weeks are more complex, so watch how you recover from the hard days. My coach in college had me check my pulse each morning, and if it was 6-10 points over normal resting, I kept it a bit easier the next day.
Hydration and sleep are essential. Drink 8-12 glasses of water daily; I also suggest a NUUN-type drink.
On easy days, keep the pace accessible and spend some time stretching.
