Coach Note
This full rest day is essential for recovery and should be utilized to allow muscles to repair and adapt. Incorporating active recovery through light activity helps flush out lactic acid and promotes blood flow to muscles. This aligns with the current block objective of building endurance while ensuring the body is well-prepared and recovered for increased training loads in the upcoming workouts.
