HOW DO YOU SCORE YOUR WEEKS?
THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A REST WEEK for me. After 5 brutal Saturdays, basically the equivalent of racing BWR, it was time to take a break...
... 'cause next weekend we're racing.
Here's how I'd rate it...
- Training Volume - backed it down about 20%, 30-40% would have been better. My legs are shot.
- Intensity - Monday's easy mountain bike ride, would kill most riders, Tuesday was pretty chill, Wednesday I promised myself no pulls on the group ride - broke that promise and got shot out the back. Thursday's high zone 2, low zone 3, shoulda been mid-zone 2 at the most, Friday actually did an easy spin, Saturday's (today) ride was much shorter, but couldn't help myself and put in 4000' of vert, Starva called it Tough Relative Effort - hardly spinning the legs out.
- Strength training - kept up the upper body stuff all week, which is fine. However, total fail on not skipping the leg work.
- Sleep - pretty good, always over 7, not enough 8s
- Stress - running a business is always challenging, 'nuf said.
... I'd give that a solid C.
Average.
Yep, average people screw up rest/recover weeks.
Don't be average, like me...
... be exceptionally pro, especially at recovering.
