Recovery and sleeping hot during intense training phase.

Signed up for a half sim Hyrox with a group from my gym. I’m not in “real” hyrox shape, but have dedicated a lot towards my fitness this year and the workouts I’ve been doing the past 7 mos are similar. We decided to do this on a whim and with essentially 4 weeks to train. This isn’t my life goal by any means so it isn’t that serious but I’m darn competitive and I used to be an athlete. It is a lot more about commitment and pride.

I’m 40+ and trying to build my endurance both cardio and muscle quickly. I know I won’t necessarily see many strength gains in the short time, but luckily I tend to respond decently to hard workouts so I’m trying to push for ability for my body to work for a long time. This has sparked two-a-days.

If I were doing this forever I’d say I’m over training but this is just for a short time and taking precautions to staying healthy.

For those who compete or push really hard for a time, what tips do you have for quick recovery and my GOD I am now a furnace at night. Could be some hormones but definitely metabolism and adrenals I’m sure. It started during this push. Thanks!
