How do they exercise so intensely most days with such small rest periods?
In: Biology
The more you train, the higher your work capacity and ability to recover gets.
High level athletes can train at the level they do because their bodies have spent years, often more than a decade, adapting to that workload.
If an inexperienced person tried to match their workload right away, they wouldn’t be able to recover and would burn out and get injured. You work your way up to that slowly and incrementally. And you do that by making sure you are getting adequate rest along the way so you aren’t doing more damage that your body can handle at any given time.
