You've got to do at least some high intensity interval training with your heart rate near maximum in order achieve any significant performance improvements.

Ice and cold therapy has been largely debunked for the conditions you mentioned. Your advice is generally outdated and not aligned with evidence based medicine or successful endurance sports coaching.

If it wasn't clear from my wording, I'll say it again:

If you're getting sore joints you fucked up, please stop doing that. Take some anti-inflammatories for today and sort your shit out.

Also I'm pretty sure you're wrong about the ice. If anything they're using more of it (but for different reasons).

Nope, I'm not wrong about the ice.

Acute inflammation isn't something to be prevented. It's a helpful part of the healing process. Ice might feel good, but it doesn't produce improved medical outcomes.

so what's the new RICE?
