Workout Of The Day for… well, for a week or so…”Not A Damn Thing…”

Howdy folks.

Thanks for following along, and I hope you had a great ‘Cross season.

I’m going to be writing a fair bit in the near future about the transition to the upcoming season, weight training, cross training – a whole myriad of topics.

If there is anything you would like me to write about, please drop me a line and I will do my best to accommodate.

Right now, the biggest question I seem to be getting is “what should I do now?”

The answer is pretty simple.

Not a damn thing.

Take a minimum of a week off.

If you raced an entire road or mountain bike season, and then a full cyclocross season, take more than that.

What I usually recommend for folks crazy enough to have done the full-meal deal is that they take the rest of the month off the bike.

Mark January first on your calendar.

That’s the next time you should touch your bike.

That doesn’t mean you should sit on the couch and eat ice cream for the rest of the year.

Go skiing. Play some football. Go hiking.

Take a full week to blow off  steam, relax, and eat junk. Have a few beers.

Next week we start cross-training.

More on that soon…

Have  fun!

  1. “Please Sir, may I have some more?” 🙂

  2. I’d love to see a half hour long weight training guide to strengthen all the leg muscles that you don’t get by cycling. You know…to counterbalance all the inequity. Thanks, Rob
