R&R

Rest and recovery is vital. If you are feeling tired, cut back on the training, recover and then build it up again. Always have at least one full day off a week where you do no exercise. I've used more than one rest day as I passed into my 40s. A good longer term plan, that will help you not get over-trained, is to have three weeks hard training, one week easy. This works well to give your body a rest ready for the next three-week cycle.
