Frequently asked questions

What should you do on an active recovery day?
Move at a pace where you can hold a full conversation without effort — typically 50–60% of max heart rate. Walking, gentle swimming, yoga and easy cycling all work. The purpose is to increase blood flow to recovering muscles without creating new physiological stress. Active recovery days improve the quality of subsequent hard training sessions.
