What is this?
"Whoulda thunk there was more than 1 way to take a rest from training and allow your body sufficient time to recover?"
What is "whoulda thunk"? Is it "Would have thought" but wrote it wrong on purpose? Think thunk thunk? Whoulda > woulda > would have?

Thunk is used as a pseudo-archaic past participle of think (by analogy with drink/drunk.)

Hey Tiger. You almost got it right. You have a really tricky sentence there.
"Whoulda" is a contraction of "who would have." "Thunk," in this context, is really informal way to say "thought." So the sentence could also read "Who would have thought..."
It's a phrase I might use in a Facebook post or a text to a friend. I wouldn't use it, however, in a business memo or a professional document.

You are correct.
Trying to sound uneducated and with a "rural" accent, probably.
Could be sarcasm.

It's basically short / slang for "who would have thought"
