  • Sometimes you need to take it easy! This might sound strange when you are training for your next triathlon but the recovery workout should not be underestimated.

    The importance of recovery can not be emphasised enough. In order to improve, you need to stress your body with training and then let it recover as this is when it adapts and gets stronger (known as super-compensation).
    We have covered various approaches, the importance of rest and good nutrition in aiding your recovery but sometimes, light training is the answer. Some of your swim, bike & run training sessions should come under the 'active recovery' umbrella. Watch the video as Heather explains what it's all about!

    How often do you include recovery workouts in your training plan? Let us know in the comments below 👇

      More frequent than loading sessions :) , as 80/20 concept demands.
      Most my commutes are recovery rides or include recovery walking, including commutes by car :).

      Yoga at least once a week, and walking my dogs

    Whoa taking my time on my ride. Floating on my back between easy laps looking at the hills. Taking a walk and stopping to look at the flowers.

    That double-take when GTN uses B-roll footage of your favorite daily run route when you live on a different continent!!!!!! Wooooo!

    Great video Heather. really easy to understand and some great tips I will take on board.

    @loulew07 Před 5 lety +1

    Being newly retired and 61yrs young I train for my future , not looking in the rear view mirror . So I take 8 hrs to get in a good 2- 3 workouts in . And training at 80% HR or less I can train daily , but cut back miles or time . And train never in a rush .

  • @polarisb518
    @polarisb518 Před 5 lety +1

    Very informative video!
    What I failed to understand is whether you are referring only to post workouts recovery or also to recovery weeks in training blocks (doing 3 weeks load and 1 week recovery).

  • @79devo
    @79devo Před 2 lety

    Excellent. I’m spending much more time on recovery and it’s proving beneficial.

    • @gtn
      @gtn  Před 2 lety

      Wonderful!

  • @jonathanzappala

    I remember back when I first got a heart rate monitor in 2009 and found out I was running to hard on the easy days.

  • @greengonzonz

    Hey team, you've hit this one out of the park. 👍👍👍

  • @daniellalinde578
    @daniellalinde578 Před 4 lety

    On the bike, how often would you do those "hard" 10 seconds? And how hard (FTP%) should they be?

  • @emilywellington6092
    @emilywellington6092 Před 4 lety

    It is simple, listen to your body!

    @ 1:27 there is a clip of a female athlete running in Santa Cruz. Who is that athlete and where can I find the full video?

  • @elvyskennethmiguel8817

    Should i need recovery SBR if my sched has 48hrs in between each discipline?

  • @Tri_AgainProject
    @Tri_AgainProject Před 5 lety +2

    I just follow my training plan the best I can.

    • @gtn
      @gtn  Před 5 lety +1

      Does your training plan include any recovery workouts?

  • @JDiHayes
    @JDiHayes Před 5 lety +1

    I schedule at least a recovery swim every week.

    • @gtn
      @gtn  Před 5 lety

      Nice one. You might want to add an easy ride/run if you have done a hard ride/run!

  • @ernestbernardalmeida3806

    I suffered different types of injury. From ITB syndrome, pulled hamstring, shin splints, and achilles tendinitis, and the only thing that helped recover was active recovery, combined with rollers then stretching and nice hot shower afterwards for a better blood circulation

    • @heatherfell_oly
      @heatherfell_oly Před 5 lety

      Glad to hear you worked out how to recover, hope you stay injury free.

  • @scottgregerson3522
    @scottgregerson3522 Před 2 lety

    #GTNCoachesCorner what are “byproducts” in our system after a hard session?

  • @bikeanddogtripsvirtualcycling

    that is a very complex looking scarf knot you have around your neck, Heather. I think that Alexander The Great would have had difficulty with that. ;)

  • @christianpatiu7225
    @christianpatiu7225 Před 5 lety +2

    Is that Tim Don's trisuit at the back?

    • @christianpatiu7225

    I am so bad at this!

  • @ljk5708
    @ljk5708 Před 5 lety

    Is one recovery session every two weeks enough?

    • @TheFrozenFlint
      @TheFrozenFlint Před 5 lety +1

      I'd say you should be doing a few a week? Definitely after a hard session (later in the day/day after)

    • @heatherfell_oly
      @heatherfell_oly Před 5 lety +2

      It does depend what time you have and what intensity your other sessions are. So hard to answer but use the video to help guide you.

    • @ljk5708
      @ljk5708 Před 5 lety

      Ok thanks, my usual weekly workout consists in 3 runs (5,10,30km),
      3 one hour swims and a weekly strength workout (TRX)

  • @M3T2W01f
    @M3T2W01f Před 5 lety +1

    No butterfly for recovery? ;)

  • @williamvardy2753
    @williamvardy2753 Před 5 lety +1

    I'd say, for recovery, you'd be better off doing a super easy bike ride than a run, especially if the goal is simply to increase blood flow and the impact will cause additional stress and, consequently, potential injury.

    • @heatherfell_oly
      @heatherfell_oly Před 5 lety

      It depends what you've done previously and what is tight. Sometimes I feel running loosens me off better than a spin on the bike.

  • @F1tch1c
    @F1tch1c Před 5 lety

    What if 3 minutes per k slower - means you are pretty much going for a walk !

    • @VanLifeTriathlon
      @VanLifeTriathlon Před 5 lety +2

      Then walk! Lots of professional athletes use hiking as a means of active recovery.

    • @heatherfell_oly
      @heatherfell_oly Před 5 lety +1

      My recovery run often becomes more of a shuffle!

    Ugh, the “OK PELETON!!!!!” woman is so irritating. I bet her unironic daily quota of “LET’S SMASH IT”s is off the chart.
