Summary

We can't go hard all the time. Movement is medicine and those movements should have different speeds. Today we get into Zone Zero or active recovery or supplemental movement. It doesn't matter what you call it, it's a key piece of the big picture puzzle. And often it doesn't even include motion directly related to triathlon. We'll go over simple ways to ensure longevity and even race better by giving your recovery the attention it deserves.
