Today’s inspiration is recovery.
You do not sleep enough. You sit down, you eat a dinner that’s almost certainly too loaded with flour and sugar, you plop your ass down in front of the television and let it think for you for a couple of hours, then you jump on facebook to make sure that all you’re aware of the minutae of your friends’ lives, you dutifully check the always lucid and insightful posts on crossfitplayground.com, and then somewhere between midnight and 2 AM, you fall into bed, utterly exhausted, and attempt to “sleep fast” so that you’re no more dysfunctional than you usually are when you wake up.
If this sounds familiar, here’s some words of wisdom for you:
YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG.
If you want to progress as an athlete, you have to recover properly. Just like maintaining the proper intensity in your workouts is key, just like eating properly is key.
Try this: sleep 8 hours. Do it for a week. See how you feel. See how your workouts go. See how your mental attitude is. Our guess and our experience is that all of the preceding will improve. And if they do improve with more sleep, then stick with it, because it is amazing how being sleep-deprived can negatively impact our performance in all areas of life.
