Parents Days off…

[Gymnast2017]

My child is a UK gymnast, age 8. She is on a typical competitive pathway, competed Prep 1 this year. She trains for 10 hours a week over four days. She then does conditioning on two of the days off, the final day she has as stretching only. Does this seem about right? Is it enough time to recover having the one day off? I often wonder how long she should be doing conditioning at home on her days off too?

They're not really days off if she's doing conditioning on them... I guess it depends how much/how intense the work is on the "days off".

I don’t think that sounds like too much, so long as she scales it back if anything starts hurting.
