recovery from crash training

Today I did about 30 minutes of light jogging on a cedar chip trail. 

I finished with some easy stretching and completed 20 pullups and 100 situps. 

In order for you to reap the benefits

of a couple consecutive  days of hard training, you

must follow this period of intense training with equal recovery days. 

As you progress in your fitness level, it can sometimes

be beneficial to add a few days of intense training 

in close proximity. The idea is that the workout following a hard workout less than 24 hours later will elicit a stronger training effect or cause your body to super-compensate due to the higher fatigue level.

This method of training is called crash training. It is very important

to take extra rest days after a crash training period. You must take

other precautions as well such as massage, ice baths, higher caloric

intake,  etc.. .
