The Workout of The Day for Monday, 9.20.10 – “Yeah, rest.”
Hello again from Vegas!
I haven’t done any riding, but I’m tired as hell, so I can just imagine what you folks who did the double this weekend feel like!
The workout for ya’all is pretty obvious, right? You’re doing a 1-2 hour Recovery Ride –
– Get on your bike. Roll out into the street, and just spin around for an hour.
– Really small gear, no hard efforts – heck, no medium effort.
– Spin. You’re looking to move your legs around in circles, almost like there is no chain on the bike.
– The idea is to get your body moving, flush the systems out, and speed your recovery.
– When you do your recovery ride -if you have the time- just get out and spin aimlessly. At a certain point, your legs suddenly feel better.
– As soon as that happens, turn around, go home, eat, stretch, and put your legs up.
Relax.
Remember, this is a good day to get some core work in if you aren’t totally spent. Lots of info up on the topic in previous posts.
Also, don’t forget to follow up after the race with your post-race assessment list! (info on that at – https://crosssports.wordpress.com/2010/09/07/the-workout-of-the-day-for-wednesday-9-8-listless/)
I’m off to bed,
G’night!
