faster recovery

sirdjango

how do we recover faster after sprints and climbs?

Zachariah

By doing more of them in training.

Garz

Or allowing the body to rest adequately then trying harder on the next training session.

good recovery drink, eat well ,stretch and rest

I think we're talking about two different things here - I assume the OP means immediate recovery in the minute or two after high-level exertion? I think this is just down to basic cardiovascular fitness and HR recovery rate, and Zacharia has it right.

If you mean recover WHILE riding - then it comes down to fitness. Do more of them, get fitter and your body will recover faster from them.

if you mean how to recover after a training session - recovery drink, fluids, protein/carb meal, good night's sleep. Massage if you can get it!

I find a massage after every ride does me good.
