HOW I KNOW WHEN I'M ARE RECOVERED

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.
