Hi Sean, its a good question. I am very fortunate that I have been training my entire life with very little time off. So I would say my body is well adapted. However, its still a fine line and my recovery has slowed a lot. Its the one thing I prioritise every day now. A well structured program, extra rest days if I need them, and a big big focus on sleep and quality food intake. As they say Sean, without our health nothing else really matters. I would be happy to share a 12 week program with you and modify it for your current age, time available to train and level of fitness.
I've been meaning to ask you Rod. How do you balance training hard in your 50s (i'm just about 57) but not hurting yourself. As you can imagine, I don't want to shave 5 min off my time but then be on the shelf for two months. What's your balance and approach?
