Ive just started training properly so my stamina is fairly woeful. After a heavy session i need probably 3/4days before i feel 100% again. Because the gym is awkward to get to due to buses,work hours, cost. i only want to go when im feeling good otherwise its not really worthwhile. Anyway point being. If i train 2days after a heavy session id likely have some tightness in my legs, back, shoulders depending on what i worked particularly hard. The question im asking is how much benefit would i get from training (sparring, bag work, skipping etc) when im already slightly tight, ignoring obvious reduced performance?? Would it be better to wait another day and go when i felt nearer top form or get the extra amount of training in??
If you go every 2 days, your body will get used to going every 2 days and you will recover by then, but if you're only going every 4 days then your body will have no reason to recover on the days in between..
As suggested by Virus, train as normal and gradually increase your intensity depending upon your stamina levels, your body will tell you. Take plenty of rest as well, I am currently recovering from an ankle injury, happened during my conditioning training, I probably pushed it too hard. No training for 4 weeks and its killing me.
cheers ill just have to work through it. I went the other day when i was fairly strained from some training id been doing at home, its strange how you ignore those aches and pains when your trying not to get punched in the face.
