Sleep is arguably the most powerful recovery tool for endurance athletes.
During sleep, your body:
  • Repairs muscle tissue and consolidates memories.
  • Releases growth hormone, crucial for recovery and adaptation.
  • Replenishes energy stores.
  • Boosts immune function.
Aim for 7-9 hours, or more during peak training.
"You can't out-train poor sleep."
