I think I need to recover more. I’ve been making a lot of endurance progress over the last 12 weeks, but my body is telling me I need a break. Waking up during sleep a lot, resting heart rate during sleep is higher than normal, my HRV has dropped significantly, and my Garmin Training Status is strained.
I don’t want to sit around and do nothing. I lift weights 3 days a week and run 3 days a week. My weightlifting is normally heavy compound and full body barbell lifts.
How can I structure a recovery week that doesn’t put me on the couch?
just go for long walks, stretch, do some light joint and tendon focused exercises
