Once you get to your 30s in your chosen sport, your skill levels are peaking, you have established your mum/dad strength base from carrying your kids around and/or weight training for c. 10 years
So your priorities should now switch to RECOVERY.
Not very glamorous but essential for longevity in your sport, getting the most out of your weekly game or event and not feeling like you have been in a train wreck for the first part of the week.
Recovery is multifaceted: - How you refuel and when - this shouldn't limited to just after your game has finished but everyday of the week - How you socialise on Saturday night - I am all for this BTW but be sensible about alcohol and water intake and how much sleep you get! - How you move on Sunday - go for a walk, swim, cycle. Play with your kid in the garden. Any low intensity movements will help ease any aches and pains - How you structure your training throughout the week - having low, medium, high intensity sessions - How you sleep - fat burning, muscle building, reduction in inflammation and many more happen when we sleep
Its simpler that it might seem and well worth a little time and effort.
