Good question.With near daily training, how and when do you decide if you are going to train?
In the morning, before the usual practice time, or after the warmup?
And based on what?
I have a rule for myself - if the choice is between training and taking a nap, I take the nap. Otherwise, I train. The point for me is that I don't train when I'm feeling so tired that, if I don't train, I'd go to sleep - for me, that's an indicator that I'm tired and need rest. The older I get, the more I pay attention to this rule.With near daily training, how and when do you decide if you are going to train?
Ha, that's a really cool rule! I have come to adopt this too, actually.I have a rule for myself - if the choice is between training and taking a nap, I take the nap. Otherwise, I train.

The older I get, the more I pay attention to this rule.
And I'm not saying it works for everyone - might need other metrics for some folks who aren't nap-adapted.

Do you feel that it is a reliable tool?I tend to follow my Whoop-metrics. If the recovery is very low, and I feel really tired, I skip the practice, doing OS only. If recovery is low, but I feel ok, I tend to practice two-arm swings. Otherwise, I just go for it
