Hey everyone, Ben Kumu Radio, how on earth are you doing? A short Monday show for your ears.

Hopefully I'll bring some quick wisdom. So you've heard me speak on the podcast before about

recovery. Recovery being obviously very important

from exercise and how I look at my own exercise and recovery and how I would often say, look, these days I don't really have the capacity to train more than

three or four times a week pretty intensely because I don't have the recovery capacity I
