Recovery is essential

After a big training weekend it is important to recovery properly. So with every glass of wine to ease the aches and pains I drank an equivalent galss of water! I slept like a baby but woke with legs as stiff as a board. So I went downstairs at 6am and did my 15 minute yoga practice and realised my legs felt fantastic! With hamstrings like mine this was a real surprise and it makes me realise how important that early morning yoga session is. So no more exercise for the remainder of the day and plenty of good food and hydration, without the wine! Tomorrow morning my yoga teacher will be putting me through my paces in a 1-2-1 session which will set me up for my return to swimming training in the evening.
