In order to train hard, you have to adapt and recover even harder. Or . . . you’ll stay the same. Same athlete. Same issues. Same speed.
Your lifecycle as a triathlete doesn’t end on the day of your A Race. It lasts as long as you want . . . until you quit. Recovery is the most underrated aspect of training and life.
