Here are my week's steps.
I completed them after getting in a strenuous workout at the gym.
Now begins a week of rest and recovery before next Saturday's race. A week of rest allows us to replenish energy stores and repair damaged tissues. Remember: The greater the training intensity and effort, the greater the need for planned recovery. That said, there's a fine line between doing too much and too little. Regardless, this coming week will be a rest week for yours truly. As we get older, we simply have to rest up more to stay healthy and uninjured. Tomorrow I will have a complete rest day. Then Monday through Friday I will not worry about getting in my 17,000 steps per day. Rest and recovery give your body the chance to heal those tears and to build even stronger muscles. If you don't allow yourself adequate recovery time, your recovery process will not happen as it should. The hard effort I've made to this point demands a recovery week. The greater the training intensity, the greater the need for planned recovery.
