Recovery Day Template
A recovery day is not “wasted.” It is the day that keeps the trip functional. Education + planning support only.

Decision rule: if symptoms spike or function is blocked, switch to recovery day shape immediately (don’t negotiate with the schedule).
FAQ
How often should I schedule recovery days?
Conservative default: 2 recovery days per week on longer trips, or after any high-load day.
What if I feel better and want to do more?
Add one small “bonus” block, not a full second anchor. Protect sleep as the priority.
Is a recovery day just staying in bed?
Not necessarily. It’s low-load: short distances, seated options, minimal logistics, and quiet recovery windows.
Is this medical advice?
No. Education + planning support only.
