The 48 hours or 2 days of recovery.
What are you looking for ? I really don´t see the danger of a quite compete answer that inform both aspects, the general norm – 48 hours, and the other undeniable aspect – the need of recovery individualization.
Coach Cabral, we agree without qualification. In fact nicely stated Antonio.
the science that supports the 48hours/2days as common length of recovery is inaccurate, imprecise, it´s poor science because the length of recovery depends of the quality and quantity of each stimulus.
Is this in your 48hours opinion more correct than his one ?
We already agree. There is the standard baseline of 2 days and then there are all the individual variables that might alter this time frame. I said something along these lines on the previous page of this thread
"Referring to any normal example we find that 48 hours is a very good amount of time for recovery. However, this is not conclusive because we are still really only talking about a single training session and what we are interested in is repeatable training. For repeatable training and to ensure workload is optimal throughout, 48 hours appears to be the right amount of time to fully recover from a training session that requires about 85% of our reserves, which is generally what a continuous training program would require if one was operating optimally."
Here i was hoping for something more advanced that an answer about recovery length that is more advanced that we might read in any run book or run manual or hear in a class by a teach.
as always me too.
However let me essay one answer like a good class student. There you might comment if there's what is wrong and what is right and classified me as you would be the teacher and I would be the student, a good pupil.
It´s common-sense and generalized literature that the length of high distance training stimulus recovery to able correct overcompensation/supercompensation is about 2days or 48hours eventually. However we shall take care of the generalized conclusions, took from the most common cases. Since training requires training individualization if we think about different individuals the same kind of effort stimulus might need shorter or longer recovery that the standard 48hours. Another point is that the same training effort done by the same individual in different occasions might need different recovery length, and also different kind of efforts might need different training recovery length.
I agree, so there is no teacher or pupil in this case, as we are both covering these roles.
So how about we look into this recovery interval/period between efforts, whether they be the intervals between repetitions, sets or sessions.
Whilst i rely on the standard 48 hours to create a rhythm in training, each day presents new factors that may or may not need to be accounted for in adjusting recovery. It would be interesting to outline these factors.
Prior to that i would like to propose a situation to you, to see your opinion. An athlete trains a solid session that would normally be repeated in 48 hours. Say the first session was on Monday at 5pm. What differences do you see between doing the repeat session at 10am on Wednesday versus 6pm on Wednesday. I propose this because i believe that sleeping twice between such sessions is more important than the 48 hours.
