Timing of Rest Days (does it matter?) and Anatomical Geometry

Timing of Rest Days (does it matter?) and Anatomical Geometry

By Jerred Moon Get free updates of new posts here

Hey, Athletes! Do you have certain rest days for your training? Do you adhere to a strict amount of rest days per week? What if I told you it doesn’t matter as long as you got the work in? Listen to this week’s podcast to find out all about Timing of Rest Days and more! 

Episode 16 of The Garage Gym Athlete Podcast is up!

Timing of Rest Days (does it matter?) and Anatomical Geometry

This week on the podcast we dive into our weekly updates. Jerred is preparing for his upcoming 100-mile bike race and gives us a look into how he’s prepping for it. Joe is officially cleared from PT but might be implementing a few techniques he learned along the way. 

For this week’s study, we compare training over consecutive days vs spreading your training out. Does the timing of rest days matter and affect your performance? We also reveal a new concept and give a peek behind the curtain to our next cycle. 

This week’s MYS workout is Sally’s Revenge and we give you some good tips on how to tackle it!
