I was doing my nightly website blogging and came across Joe Friels: Overtraining article. Much to my displeasure, he never came up with a clear answer. Honestly I’ve come up with a small list of things that happen that typically lead down the road to being overtrained. 1 – Canker sores. Yes, breakdown of your mouth [...] On Friday I get to be a lucky participant in quite an unusal test but with some ordinary recovery drinks. The test will compare which drink: chocolate milk 1% and 2%, soy milk, and a placebo, is better for a recovery aid after exercise. Test overview V02 Max done as a ramp test done [...] No, I am not getting soft in my old age (1, 2, and 3). I still go hard but I’ve learned that there are times to do it and others when it’s better to sit back and let the other people fight it out.
My first year of training was about going hard. I [...] So I’ve established the boundaries: Too much (Rule 2) and too little (Rule 1). What’s the middle of the Oreo look like? We all want to be professionals, right? However our bodies would rather just be an average joe. When building a schedule (especially if your self coached) the key is to do less than you [...] In the previous two sections (Part 1 and Part 2) I have established what methods and some warning signs to keep you on the road of injury prevention. Nutrition is my final topic for the recovery trilogy. Nutrition in my house analogy is hard to quantify. It not only determines the height and width [...] ***Instead of having a huge explanation, I’m going to try to keep it short and simple. My time seems to be slipping away so I figure more frequent posts will be better for LiveMultiSport.*** In the first section of recovery I reviewed the different techniques to keep you “playing”. Now I’d like to talk about [...] This is the second part in “Building the House“ compilation. One thing that annoys me with most books is they put the recovery and nutrition chapters last. After you’ve read through the should dos, the shouldn’t dos, the could dos, and would dos; you put the book down and probably stop reading altogether! You’ve missed [...] Dug up this article today: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of hot/cold contrast water immersion (CWI), cold-water immersion (COLD) and no recovery treatment (control) as post-exercise recovery methods following exhaustive simulated team sports exercise. Repeated sprint ability, strength, muscle soreness and inflammatory markers were measured across the 48-h post-exercise period. [...] Good weekend in Odot. Weather was perfect for doing pretty much everything. Warm skiies with a slight breeze to ward off all the bugs. Last week was my rest week after 4 weeks of racing. I read somewhere that a perfect rest week includes lots of sleeping. Well, I checked into my bed early [...] In the recent issue of Journal of Sports Secience, a study was done on rest intervals for weight lifting. Here is a snip of the abstract: The purpose of the present study was to compare the influence of two and five-minute rest intervals on the number of repetitions per set, per exercise and total [...] You always hear about Overtraining or Overreaching. Some say it’s impossible to do, well I’ve been there and know it’s not. The keys about how to avoiding is well, finding out how to get there. For me there are a few things I’ve noticed along the way: 1) Lack of concentration. Can’t keep [...] The Ulimate Recovery Routine From Endurance Corner (Editor’s Note: Pro’s spent as much time or more on recovery. Here’s an example of what they do.) 1. Perform a 15 minute cooldown at a very low intensity (<60% max HR) 2. Have sports drink mixed to 75-90g of Carbohydrate and 10-20g or protein at the [...]  |
