The Workout Of The Day for Monday, 12.19.11. – “R.”
Howdy folks!
Did you get some good, hard riding in this weekend?
Sweet… I’m jealous! 
If you finished up your Cross racing in the last two weeks or so, you should still be off the bike, or, if you *must* ride, please take it easy.
Avoid the temptation to jump into the roadie cutting-contest pre-season insanity. Go out and spin by yourself, easy-like.
Better yet, stay off the bike a little bit longer, and give some thought to putting in some gym time cross-training.
If you’re still playing out the string, and you’ve got some racing coming up today, you’re doing a…
1 Hour Recovery Spin –
– 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.
– Just get out on the road 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.
Have fun,
M
