If I have a poor sleep the night before a training day, would it be best to perform a tier 1 MR day instead of a planned loading day to decrease the CNS stress of that session? Or are they about equal in that regards? Or in that situation would it be best to take the day off of training entirely and train the following day?
Obviously addressing the sleep is paramount and I'm working on it!
Do you notice less recovery with 7 compared to 8+ hours?
I'm not an expert, only on my second blast... but if you feel good I'd say go for the loading. I always get 7 during the week, so i guess I'm just used to the minimum.
