So many recovery hacks out there, but let’s be honest, they do not work, or at least only marginally.

In this vid I break down a fascinating new study on professional cyclists that looked at how training intensity—not just volume—drastically impacted recovery time, even when total work was the same. The findings challenge a lot of what we assume about fatigue and programming.

Ah and at the end I show you how you can use this info to craft a weekly training schedule for high intensity sports like crossfit and hyrox.

Hope you enjoy this one!

Ah.. and here is the link to the Spragg paper as discussed in the video: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11235642/
