Eat a lot of your favorite foods and rest. Sleep, get in a pool, a lawn chair, relax. Dont just sit in a chair though, get comfortable. Replacing training with a few bacon cheese burgers and a serious nap can bring you back to life stronger than ever. You need rest to repair and rebuild, but if you rest without food, you will take materials from your brain to heal your liver, your muscles to heal your bones, etc, and you'll wake up just as bad. So eat a lot of food you enjoy drink water and rest and hit it again soon. Dont try to eat super healthy if it stresses you out, just eat what you really look forward to. But take a day and rest.
If your training is doing it, you need rest, not different training. When you adapt to greater new stress you feel shitty before you get stronger. The wise figure out how to make their recovery time as smart and purposeful as their training in these situations. That means rest!
If you stretch before bed you will get much more subjective muscular reocvery from sleep and feel better waking up and getting going.
But the Big things for you are:
1. Lots of food you really enjoy
2. Lots of sleep and relaxing today instead of training
Consistency in those things are actually what makes the best athletes, not training. Anyone can train hard for a week or a month. How can you do it for your whole life, for years and years? Lots of food and sleep. It is possible but it's sleep and food #1 and #2 and everything else is far #3. These are the most neglected among regular people.
