VO2 Max Booster Program – More Active Recovery

May 10, 2009 by Jesper Bondo Medhus 2 Comments

When you train hard, the importance of recovery is more pronounced. I guess most readers will agree that the VO2 Max Booster Program is challenging, so there is also an increased need for recovery. Today you will do an easy ride of just 30 minutes, so use your extra free time to think about how you can improve your recovery.

I like to optimize recovery principles because that helps you to get stronger without working harder. Work smarter, not harder.

The proper use of simple recovery tips can accelerate your recovery and help you to reach a higher level of performance. If you rehydrate, eat carbohydrates and proteins, change clothes and do some easy rolling immediately after training sessions that will help you a lot.

You can read more on recovery tips here.
