Recovery of the Week:
Recovery Strategies: How to Know When to Take a Day Off (and When to Keep Going)

For seven years, Elsie Jahn pushed her body to the limit. She started CrossFit in 2011 when she was 21, and by 2012 she was training six or seven days a week. Jahn spent the summer doing a CrossFit competition every weekend, and by September she was so exhausted she took an entire month off. When Jahn returned to training, she didn’t feel recovered. Even after a month’s rest she felt an overwhelming urge to nap most of the day and had trouble regulating her emotions.

Then in 2015 Jahn’s life got even more stressful. She opened her own gym and continued to train for at least two hours a day. The aches and pains accumulated. A shoulder injury prevented her from lifting any weight overhead, and she found her strength decreasing, even though she was training more.

In 2018 Jahn decided she’d had enough. She completely stopped training and closed her gym in 2019.“
I was sick of working all the time,” Jahn said.

“I was sick of training. I actually barely trained in 2019. I just was not excited about it. I didn’t want to do it,” she said.

Rest and recovery are essential parts of training, but it can be difficult for some CrossFit athletes to strike the right balance. Some athletes, like Jahn, push themselves to the brink, not realizing they’re sabotaging their own progress by training too often. Other athletes struggle with motivation and take too much time off then wonder why they aren’t improving.

Recipe of the Week:
Often times we struggle to consume protein throughout our day. Especially during lunch or for a snack. This Tuna Salad recipe might be just what you need to incorporate more protein into your diet.

Ingredients:
4 x 6 oz cans tuna packed in water
2 small dill pickles diced
1 large celery rib diced
1/4 cup red onion minced
1 garlic clove grated
1 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar
1/4 tsp salt
Ground black pepper to taste
3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2%+ fat
1/4 cup mayo

Instructions:
1) Drain cans with tuna well. I usually press hard onto the lid while draining the can completely.
2) Transfer to a large bowl and separate into flakes with a fork.
3) Add pickles, celery, red onion, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, yogurt and mayo.
4) Stir well with a fork and refrigerate.
