most over used word in sport , as we speak and in triathlon has now mantra status .
it depends on what type of work u do
on a heart rates basis
i worked for a time as a bricks laborer and i never done it before but , i wasn't given any time to settle in , and build up to 8hrs or was i given any recovery
i do remember my boss saying when i was very sore early on ,
stop winging you weak bastard , go home have a hot bath , get a few drinks into you will numb the pain and get to bed early and be here at 7am
and you be as right as rain .
haven't heard much better advice since ,

Hey doc only bricks? For only 8 hours?

How about 9m long steel pipes - for 12hours!

When I first started to ruff neck.
Our tool push used to force drink us at the start of our 14 day hitch.
He said it help forget about the hard work still to do and enjoy the simple things!

At the start of each hitch.
The ruff necks where slow, rusty and chunky.
But as we got into our rythym.
Our work rate got better and faster - so did our thirst Wink

The only extra rest we got, was a "short change" which transitions from daylights to grave yards.
We only got a 8 hours shift - and then back at it.
Better than ever, our tool push loved it.
Then near the end of our hitch, he would whip out the hard liquor!
Our last shifts, where always our best!

Then came time for days off, tool push hated that.
Because he knew, we would get soft, lazy and forget how to REALLY work.
It break our rythym.
And have to re-build our speed all over again.

He always said to us ruff necks.
"if you SOB's could work 30 days strait, you'd be paying 10$ less each fill up your on new F150's"
Because we would probably get so efficient and productive, with such a long hitch  Grin

haha matt
beautiful application in the real world on what we were talking about ,
low hr work keep on keeping on .
and to answer lion heart
the worst thing you can do is the day after an ironman is to do nothing  to recover , the absolute worst
i try to get our guys to do up to 5  20 min sessions
and if your so sore you can't jog or shuffle , then walk
that and a spa  strait after a race ,  massage take it or leave it , its good for the head i suppose , but for the body hot tub light shake up of muscles
2 days of lots of little things
then id take a day off with a decent massage then into sauna steam or spa routine
makes a massive difference
