The festive period is for family, food, and switching off — and you should enjoy it.
But completely stopping your training can make January a lot harder than it needs to be.
You don’t need peak fitness over Christmas.
You do need consistency.
- Short runs
- Light strength sessions
- Mobility & recovery work
- Proper rest for the mind and body
Staying active through the holidays means:
✔️ Less injury risk
✔️ Faster return to form in January
✔️ No panic trying to “catch up” with the competition
Recovery isn’t about doing nothing — it’s about doing the right amount.
Enjoy the break. Fuel your body. Look after your head.
And give January less work to do.
If your body needs a reset, Manchester Athletic Recovery is here to keep you moving.
