The Workout Of The Day for Monday, 9.26.10 – “Blech.”

Howdy folks,

Well, I hope the weekend’s races went better for you than they did for me. Blech. Total disaster.

So, you know what I’m doing today?

I’m going to try and get some X-rays taken.

Yeah. Blech.

Hopefully you don’t need to do that!

If you aren’t headed off to the doctor today, you should be taking things pretty easy. Go for 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.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, don’t forget to keep up on your core work, and remember to do your post-race assessment –

Have fun, and tune in tomorrow for a new 2×20 variation…
