Many of us plan those weekly hours where we nail ourselves in the name of triathlon, but it's rare that we properly plan our recovery. Often it's skipped, compromised or even ignored completely because we simply run out of time. After all there are only so many hours in the day. The key to success and getting fasterin triathlon is to consistently stress the body and recover. It is during this recovery phase we take on the training gains and become faster,fitter and stronger. The key to becoming a better athlete is consistency. We can only train consistently and continue to improve if we persistently allow our bodies to recover properly.
