Training Twice a Day

[cropf]

Hi, I'm 29 and have trained Muay Thai on and off for 2 years now. At the moment I'm in Chiang Mai and considering signing up for a months worth of training where I'll be training twice a day. What was other people's experience been with this type of training and at a similar age? Sometimes I find myself very stiff on weeks where I'll only train 2/3 times.

I want to improve at Muay Thai but is this way of doing it the most effective or should I prioritise my rest?

  @Sylvie von Duuglas-Ittu has talked at lot about the myth of over training, under recovery, and consistency. https://8limbsus.com/muay-thai-thailand/why-we-quit-early-fatigue-long-runs-learning-from-runners

 @Kevin von Duuglas-Ittu usually recommend not to prepay for training. Instead, train at a few different gyms. That way you can see which gym you like best and you're not locked in if your plans change. Gyms in Thailand change fast.

I'm just a Sylvie fan, I don't train or fight Muay Thai. These are just my thoughts from follow Sylvie's social media over the years. 

Try 1 session/day for multiple days in a row instead of 2 sessions/day every other day. If you're feeling good, you can always add more sessions/day. Take privates, to get more focused, individual attention. Stetching, foam rolling, heat, and massage can all help stiffness.
