Athletes often think of recovery as a weakness or liability to their training. We see the hours that the competition appears to be logging and feel compelled to match or even beat it. Unfortunately, our\\xa0barometer of success is often a simple accumulation of training hours without regard to the quality of those hours or what we do in between. If we do give a thought to recovery,\\xa0it\'s usually in the form of a rest day or a little foam rolling after a tough session. But, is this true recovery? Are we really allowing our\\xa0body to adapt to the training stress?\\xa0
