In this episode of the podcast we explore when its time to plan a rest day or deload week. The body often shows signs that it's time to pull back well before an overuse injury occurs.

We discuss what causes the body to break down, where most people lack understanding as well as when is the right time to include extra recovery day or add a deload week.

We also discuss what else you can do to reduce injury risk in season.
