Hello everyone and welcome back to tempo talks this is coach

0:10.6

Stone Bellis and this coach Rory Wigan. And today we're going to talk to you about recovery and specifically the recovery between your interval sessions and workouts and how how long what type of recovery this should be whether that's walking jogging

0:27.2

running at a certain pace and how we can manipulate this to ultimately achieve the right goal or purpose of the day.

0:36.6

So Rory, when you're heading into a workout, tell us what is the first thing that we should

If your focus is the five key or not necessarily training the system as specifically as you could be.
