Indoor power work still needs real recovery
Dear [Team Name] Families, Indoor season often includes more speed, power, and weight-room work than families realize. That means recovery still matters a lot, even if the workout does not look like a long run. The post-session goal is still simple: - eat within the first hour after harder work - get carbs and protein in instead of waiting too long - do not let lifting or speed work become a session that "does not count" nutritionally - keep dinner predictable if practice ends late Sprinters, jumpers, and multi-event athletes often miss recovery because the session does not feel as visibly draining as a long aerobic workout. The body still has work to do afterward, and delayed recovery still shows up the next day. Families help most by treating power-work days like training days that need support, not like optional nutrition days. If the athlete lifts before or after practice, or has multiple pieces of work in the same day, the first-hour recovery habit becomes even more useful. This week, we are keeping the message simple: indoor power work still needs real recovery, and the habit should be visible.
