Recovering from hard training

This was an interesting question we had in

 

Actually made me think

 

Because its not quite as straight forward as you think on first viewing

 

Anyway this is what we got asked

 

=================================================

 

Hi Guys

 

What is the best way for a fast bowler to recover and bounce back quickly after a hard and long training session?

=================================================

 

On the surface I was about to answer with the usual things about recovery

 

Going into nutrition, contrast baths, vibration treatments, compression etc

 

But then I read it again

 

And realised this could be pretty problematic

 

Because we aren’t talking about recovering from a hard game

 

Bowling 20-30 overs in a day

 

We are talking about recovering from training

 

Which poses different questions

 

Recovering from a lot of overs is like an occupational hazard for fast bowlers

 

You have to bowl

 

But when it comes to training it has to be smart

 

And everything be put in place to allow you to be able to bowl a 30 over, and be able to back it up the next day

 

What we have to remember with training there is always cause and effect

 

I did a video about having a full glass and keeping the balance between training and recovery so we aren’t in a deficit that might have a very negative effect and lead to injury

 

So to bounce back quickly after a hard training sessions isn’t something id necessarily look to plan

 

A training session that has a high metabolic cost (i.e. leaves your ass on the floor) you cant expect to recover quickly from

 

So plan them on a day when the following 24-36 hours you can plan

 

During the off season the biggest session for our guys on the new 1-1 plan is on the Friday, where they have the weekend to recover fully

 

Put a high training day back to back and you start to fry the CNS too, and again we get into murky waters

 

Another thing to think of is putting more money in the Aerobic bank too

 

If you’ve seen the data Steff has taken over the last year youll realise the importance of a well developed aerobic system for both the game and recovery

 

So get planning the timing of sessions first, then on days off maximise the recovery work

 

Or let us do the planning for you on the new 1-1 program
