Frequently asked questions
Is it OK to train every day?
Yes if intensity varies. Elite athletes train daily but alternate hard and easy sessions. Training the same muscle groups or energy systems at high intensity every day leads to accumulated fatigue and overtraining.
What should I do on recovery days?
Zone 1-2 aerobic work (easy walking, light cycling, swimming) accelerates recovery by increasing blood flow without adding significant training stress. Complete rest is fine but active recovery often works better.
