HOW I KNOW WHEN I'M ARE RECOVERED
IT'S BEEN FOUR DAYS SINCE NATIONALS, and I've been taking it easy all week. I have been out on the bike for three of those days, not for training...
... to give myself a mental break from work.
My legs have been sore every night.
Way more than I'd expect.
So, the rides have been very easy.
Just spinning.
This evening, I got a glimmer of the good leg feeling.
Does that mean it's time to get back at it?
Nope.
I'll know when I'm ready to start training f'reals when...
- I can't stand the slowness
- I am aching to push hard
- I'm feeling caged
... then, and only then, is it time to start adding some intensity.
Is there a race on this year's calendar?
Maybe.
We'll see.
