The Role of Sleep in Endurance Recovery

[VO2Commander]

Sleep is arguably the most powerful recovery tool for endurance athletes.
During sleep, your body:

• Repairs muscle tissue and consolidates memories.
• Releases growth hormone, crucial for recovery and adaptation.
• Replenishes energy stores.
• Boosts immune function.

Aim for 7-9 hours, or more during peak training.

"You can't out-train poor sleep."
