It's important to dedicate time to recovery. The better recovery you have, the more stress you can endure, and ultimately, the faster you can achieve a positive adaptation. Two vital factors are sleep and nutrition; however, other protocols such as a float, sauna, or a massage can also have tremendous benefits for your physiological and psychological readiness.

Going to your local pool or finding a floating company near you are two options.
Q: What is floating?
A: Floating is a practice where you enter into a float tank, which is a well-engineered enclosed tub filled with 10″ of water that has 800 pounds of dissolved Epsom salts in it. All forces of gravity on the musculoskeletal system and nervous system are eliminated from the extreme positive buoyancy. Imagine a space where you don’t feel, see, or hear anything. The tank’s environment is designed to allow for a minimal amount of sensory input to enter into your nervous system.
