“It takes enormous concentration, perseverance and determination and you can have none of those if you’re tired..” brilliant! This is so true and obvious when faced with it
From my own experience and that of others, I’ve observed that there has to be a clear balance betw training & recovery. It’s a different ratio for every individual. An absolute beginner may need even two days of recovery in between runs. On a scale of 1-10, his fitness would be 1-3. If he needs a day’s rest after a long run, fitness level would then take be say 3-5, for a recovery walk 5-7 & recovery short run 7-9. Plz correct me if I’m wrong but recovery time depends on the level of fitness of the person. That’s why one needs a proper coach to find out what suits one best. A good coach would try to scale up the fitness level while gradually scaling down the recovery time. Totally agree with Coach Parry!! 👍
This is really interesting - the only time I remember being very tired but unable to sleep was after my first day trying to snowboard. I've fallen and picked myself up so many times that day - I guess the cortisol was what caused it !
Rest = no run is the of the most fear thing for runners😂 we don’t lose any performance, even no running 5day then will start losing small percentage of fitness 👍

So true!
Oh my God...I saw coach Perry smile. Nice smile, wish he would do it more.
😃
Thank you for asking the interviewee to clarify the difference between "over doing exercise" and "under recovering"
I like that you pointed out the difference of overtraining and underrecovering. Really great content!
Agreed!

Awesome information! Thank you!
My coach, many, many years ago told us the most important things in order to perform are, in this order:
1. Rest
2. Nutrition
3. Training

Is it OK to walk on rest days? Thnaks!
I enjoy my walks as recovery
