Spartan Sprint Starts Recovery Week Off Right

Its not too late to join us in Amesbury, MA for the Spartan Sprint on Saturday, August 27th. Dean and I are in the 2pm wave. In fact here is a coupon code for $10 off your entrance fee – 2111  The Warrior Dash was held here in June and it forever changed the way I look at 5ks.

Recovery week is scheduled for Monday, August 29th – Monday, September 5. While we love to see each of you weekly we know for  your best health and training ability we design “Rest” weeks into the training calendar. For some of you who need a bit of convincing jump on over to I Hate Recovery Weeks!  If you’ve trained with us for any length of time you’ve discovered the benefits and joys of recovery week.

How can you best use recovery week?

You’ve already set aside the hour to train your body, here’s 20 different ways to use that hour during recovery week:

1. Plan your meals and snacks for the week
2. Find a new recipe and try it
3. Have a massage at Chichester Massage and Body Works (remember Get Fit NH members receive a special price, just ask)
4. Go for a hike with your family
5. Roll on a tennis ball
6. Spend extra time with your kids and spouse
7. Prepare your ingredients to make next week’s mealtime easier and faster

9. Stretch
10. Take a bike ride
11. Have game night with your family
12. Invite friends over for dinner
