3 easy ways to improve your recovery...

Training hard is only one piece of the puzzle. Recovery is where the real gains are made!


  1. Prioritise Sleep:

• Sleep is your body's chance to repair muscles and adapt to the training you have undertaken.


  • Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night


  • Create a relaxing sleep-friendly environment: cool, dark, and quiet.



2. Optimise Nutrition:

  • Post-Workout Fuel:

    Consume a mix of protein and carbs within ~30 minutes of finishing your workout to aid muscle repair and replenish glycogen stores for the day ahead.


  • Hydration:

    Drinking an adequate amount of water throughout the day is important, alongside consuming electrolytes to maintain proper fluid balance.


  • Balanced Diet:

    Incorporate a variety of nutrient-dense foods to support overall health and recovery.



3. Active Recovery and Stretching:

  • Active Recovery:

    Engage in low-intensity activities like walking, cross-training or yoga, promoting blood flow and reducing muscle stiffness.


  • Sports Therapy, Stretching and Foam Rolling:

    Regularly stretch and use a foam roller to release muscle tension and improve flexibility. Going to see a Sports Therapist is a great way to address any niggles or tightness you may have.
