The High/Low Training System: A Guide to Neurological Recovery

Show notes

The provided text outlines the High/Low Training System, a methodology designed by Charlie Francis to optimize athletic performance by respecting the central nervous system’s recovery limits. This philosophy advocates for a strict separation of intensities, alternating between high-effort days for speed and power and low-effort days for active recovery and aerobic health. By avoiding the "moderate intensity" zone that often leads to burnout and injury, athletes can maintain peak neurological freshness and consistent output. The source details specific training components, such as max velocity sprints and tempo runs, while providing a comprehensive 52-week annual plan for implementation. Ultimately, the system transforms training from a "more is better" mentality into a strategic balance of extreme stress and deliberate regeneration.
