Rest days get talked about a lot… but rarely in a way that actually makes them easier to understand or use.

In this episode, Coach JK offers a different way to think about them...one that shifts the focus away from “time off” and toward something that can directly impact how you show up in your training.

If rest days have ever felt confusing, inconsistent, or like something you’re just guessing your way through, this will give you a different angle to approach them from.
