recovery

"There is no such thing as overtraining, just under-recovery"
Some suggested formulas:
Week 1-3 WOD as Rx'ed
Week 4 50% volume (either reps, time, distance, or weight or any combo that makes sense)
Repeat
Week 12: Rest week / no WOD's
Repeat

Tools for Recovery
Sleep (8 hours)
Nutrition
Self moderation of stressors (life balance)
Fish Oil
Active Recovery on Days off
Contrast Hydrotherapy (5 rounds 30 seconds hot/30 cold)

How can I tell if I'm underrecoverd/overtrained?
Sleep disturbance
Lack of Focus
Retrograde Performance
Irritable
