If you're a former athlete who keeps breaking down every 4-6 weeks, this episode explains exactly why - and how to fix it. The single biggest mistake former athletes make is ignoring the recovery gap. You're applying a 22-year-old training model to a 38-year-old nervous system. And it's breaking you down. In this episode I break down: What the recovery gap actually is Why your body doesn't recover like it used to The six signs you're ignoring it How to close the gap with intelligent programming What deload weeks actually are (and why you need them) Why 15 minute warm-ups are non-negotiable after 35 This isn't about training less. It's about training smarter. If you're stuck in the breakdown cycle - train hard for a few weeks, something flares up, stop, restart - this episode is for you.
