Anna's Training Log Part 2 (Part 1)

[Voxel]

Your body is one unit and reacts systemically to stress. Relying on how you feel after warming up is a shit strategy. You feel okay/good because you are revving up a stress response driven by adrenaline and cortisol.

@Christian_Thibaudeau

you simply should not train every day or even 6 days a week. In the past I foolishly recommended such a high training frequency because I was judging what I was seeing in the elite athletes I was training, forgetting they 1) have great genetics for recovering from physical work 2) they have almost no life stress (compared to “regular people”), they had no job (besides playing sports and training) and most of them did not have families.

@Christian_Thibaudeau

Nowadays, even with pro athletes we train, at the most, 4 days a week.

Find a frequency where you most of the time feel great and occasionally feel run down but only ever so rarely.
