In integrated periodization, recovery occurs after which stage?

In integrated periodization, the high-demand phases (peaks) are followed by a recovery block to reset fatigue and consolidate gains. After completing the second peak, recovery is placed to allow the body and mind to rest, repair tissues, and re-establish readiness before the next cycle starts. This timing helps prevent overtraining and ensures you’re prepared for future peaks. The foundational base block and the earlier peak are part of building and testing capacity, while the recovery after the second peak specifically serves as the reset point between cycles.
