Speed Recovery Workout
By: Patrick Beith
What do you do the day after a power or speed training day? Since you want to give your body's CNS a rest because of the heavy stress from the day before we perform a Recovery (or Conditioning) day. This is to get the heart rate up and flush out the metabolic wastes while getting a non-CNS taxing workout.
Here is an example of a Recovery Day:

Exercises can be added or subtracted depending on what the goal of the workout is, but our Conditioning/Recovery days will be in this outlined form. General Strength circuit exercises, volume and even the way we perform the jogs and the rest will be also be dependant upon the phase or season we are in. Tempo runs are also used as conditioning/recovery and can either replace or be in addition to GS circuits. Our core workouts still change daily depending on what types of exercises we used the day before.
