TWO REASON TO DO TWOADAYS
YESTERDAY, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A WHILE I rode two times. Once in the morning, once in the evening. Among the several reason to do so...
... these are the top of my list.
I had a race.
Reason number one then, is any time there is a less than 60 minute effort in the latter part of the day, it's beneficial to get out for an hour or so in the morning...
... it really helps loosen up the body and flush out the legs.
In my case, I had a blistering XC race on tap.
Normally, I would warm up for an hour or so before the race. But, with the hour of very easy spinning already, my pre-race warm up was cut to about 25 minutes.
And, I felt great.
The other reason to do a twoaday is because, and this could be a myth, but I like it so I'm going with it, placebo or not...
... the body generates HGH each time we work out.
So, while yesterday was an oddity in that I rode twice, I do a lot of twoadays...
- Crosstraining in the morning, ride in the afternoon
- Paddlesurf in the morning, ride in the afternoon
- Ride in the mornining, surf in the evening
- Run in the morning, ride in the afternoon
... I post most of it on Starva, check it it you like.
It's working for me,
might work for you.
