Oh, absolutely!
I do like 'rest is something (to) plan and prepare for'. It's PART of the bigger picture.
In my more fanciful moments I like to think of myself as a big cat. A small big cat perhaps - like a clouded leopard, they're quite dinky as big cats go, and are good jumpers.
I digress.
Big cats rest and sleep a lot but are VERY FAST.

Rest / recovery is something I’m thinking about a lot for my return to running (currently one short joggy walk) after ten days away with shin splints

Note for mainly halfpint - don't know if you're still doing Jennis fitness (I am - at £9 a month or less it's very good value) but they've just brought Lina Nielsen in with yoga sessions.
Lina is the twin sister of Laviai, a fantastic young 400m runner. They both train at Lee Valley and Lina's yoga is fitness/athleticism informed rather than overly spiritual. Suits me! There are just two circuits up now - a 20 min recovery session and a 40 min power one. I shall sample the recovery one later today or tomorrow.

Oh thanks for flagging that. I still have the app but struggling to fit sessions in at the moment. I do yoga on weekday mornings so will have a look.

There’s no such thing as failure, only learning opportunities
- no idea (but I used to say it to QP all the time. He just loved that).
