Recovery Rocket

A friend of mine passed on a fantastic article by Andrew May about applying the principles of recovery for elite athletes into your everyday life. 

One of the principles was getting quality sleep 300 nights a year (or an average of six nights each week). "Quality sleep" means you wake up the following morning feeling totally refreshed and recharged.

Gulp! What a wake-up call for me! I'm more likely to get proper sleep for only 65 nights out of 365!! So, that's at least one principle I'll be working on!

A summary of the principles are as follows:

• 1 Holiday or Off-Season
• 3 Mini Breaks
• 30 weeks of 100 recovery points
• 300 nights of quality recharging sleep (gulp!)
• go SLOW every day
