COOL-DOWN The purpose of the cool-down is to gradually return your body’s systems to homeostasis, reduce the core temperature, metabolize some of the waste products, and relax psychologically from the focus of the workout. The higher the intensity of the workout (or race), the longer the cool-down should be. A long, low-intensity workout may not require any cool-down other than a couple of minutes’ walking at the end. After a high-intensity workout or race, a typical cool-down should be twenty to thirty minutes of the Recovery Zone or Zone 1.
