I turn 40 this year and am experiencing the old man syndrome. It takes longer to recover from hard
efforts, and I recently overdid my interval training. So I'm wary of overtraining now and have
probably NOT been training as hard as I could/should.
I haven't done a formal interval workout for a while, but I get into my anaerobic range at least
once on all but hardcore recovery workouts.
What's the standard for taking a no-bs recovery day(s)? X number of intervals in a workout at X
intensity. Or is it best to use my body as my guide? The legs will complain if I've worked them hard
yesterday - should I ignore them if my resting HR seems okay that morning?
