Active Rest Intervals

Expert Discussion Recovery and Regeneration

I’d appreciate suggestions for activities that might be useful during active rest/recovery between sprints during training sessions?

On longer breaks, loosen your spikes or change into your flats to promote blood flow and put on sweats. Walk a lap and then easy stretches and a few sit ups and push-ups to keep things moving. If it’s cold outside, see if you can get inside- even if it’s just the changeroom or bathroom (assuming it’s tolerable in there!)

Thanks Charlie. Any thoughts on active recovery/rest activities during short breaks, e.g., 4 minute breaks?

shouldn’t need to do much other than light stretching
