Yes, this is what I'm working on at the moment too. I seem to need two or three times the recovery time that most other athletes who do what I do need. So they can Crossfit five days a week and build strength. I just get less effective, and if I push it enough, injured. I do better if I mix it up -- one day biking, one day rock climbing, one day Crossfit... but even so, I won't get the peak performance from any of those that I would if I did a week of sitting around and then did the thing. So at the moment, I'm trying to find the right balance between training hard and training stupidly such that I don't see the gains because I'm never letting my body heal.
