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

Yoga at least once a week, and walking my dogs
All training are recovery 😋
Mondays are recovery day in this house
That double-take when GTN uses B-roll footage of your favorite daily run route when you live on a different continent!!!!!! Wooooo!
If only we were in the sunshine right now.
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.

Excellent. I’m spending much more time on recovery and it’s proving beneficial.
Wonderful!
Really helpful Heather and GTN!
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.
Very informative video!

Great video Heather. really easy to understand and some great tips I will take on board.
Thanks Phil, glad it was helpful.
Hey team, you've hit this one out of the park. 👍👍👍
Thank you, was a great team effort as always.
Great video, easy thumbs up 👍
Thank you Dave.
It is simple, listen to your body!
On the bike, how often would you do those "hard" 10 seconds? And how hard (FTP%) should they be?
I just follow my training plan the best I can.
Does your training plan include any recovery workouts?
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
Glad to hear you worked out how to recover, hope you stay injury free.
I schedule at least a recovery swim every week.
Nice one. You might want to add an easy ride/run if you have done a hard ride/run!
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. ;)
It's chilly in the UK at the moment, the more layers the better!
@@heatherfell_oly sunny and warm in liverpool
Is that Tim Don's trisuit at the back?
@Fraser Cartmell really cool! ;-) love from the Philippines :-)
Should i need recovery SBR if my sched has 48hrs in between each discipline?
@ 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?
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.
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.
#GTNCoachesCorner what are “byproducts” in our system after a hard session?
No butterfly for recovery? ;)
Ha good luck with that one!
There is a spiderman look about the photo that opens the video 🙏
Is one recovery session every two weeks enough?
I'd say you should be doing a few a week? Definitely after a hard session (later in the day/day after)
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.
Ok thanks, my usual weekly workout consists in 3 runs (5,10,30km),
3 one hour swims and a weekly strength workout (TRX)
I am so bad at this!
What if 3 minutes per k slower - means you are pretty much going for a walk !
Then walk! Lots of professional athletes use hiking as a means of active recovery.
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.
