It is my understanding that a BreakThrough workout is a workout intended to cause a significant, positive, adaptive response. These workouts can take 24+ hours to recover from.

I think Friel states more like 48+ hours depending on the fitness levels and age of the individual. These are done above zone 3 in which a person can generally recover from in 24 hours.
