Give yourself a recovery day here and there. Your legs will thank you for it by growing stronger


Spring has sprung sporadic spurts of warm temperatures, and daylight savings has blessed me with an extra hour of sunlight.

Tomorrow will be sunny and in the 70s. I'm looking forward to my first weekday evening ride of the year and finally being able to get off the indoor trainer! Sunset is at 7:20pm - that gives me about 2.5hrs so I'm hoping to cover 45-50 miles before dark.

Yeah I do take some breaks - sometimes my legs just say "I need a day off"

 

[Biaxident]

30 minutes with my makiwara tree.

Indeterminate time chasing a horny male cat away from a female in heat.

Go cardio!

You listen to your body - nice!

Pushing through fatigue is good some days as well. Your body responds to training stress by becoming stronger. However, enough of that leads to overtraining and total burn out that takes months to recover from. I speak from experience - I feel like I wasted the best part of my year last summer by training through too much stress in the winter and spring.

From that experience, I've learned that training is a fine art that takes a lifetime to perfect. I'm going to do it smarter this year!

I like to take "active recovery" days where I do light activity - resistance stretching, yoga, core conditioning, etc.
