The Cyclocross Workout Of The Day for Monday, 12.14.15. “Yeeesh”
Howdy folks,
If you did yesterday’s workout, I know you’re feeling it today. That thing was nuts, eh?
So, no surprises today. It’s time for a nice, relaxing…
Recovery Spin –
– Get on your bike. Roll out into the street – or into your living room if you’re on the turbo watching the vid – and just spin around for an hour. Or more. Or less. Whatever it takes.
– 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 easily and aimlessly. At a certain point, your legs will start to loosen up.
– When that happens, turn around and go home.
– If you’re doing these on the trainer, same deal. Just spin. No hard efforts, just make the legs go around in circles in a small gear.
– Follow up with as much rest as you can. Eat, stretch, and put your legs up. Get a massage if possible.
Videos from the weekend’s racing? Well, there isn’t much out there from yesterday, unfortunately. I’ve got a copy of the full race sitting on my hard drive, but I’m not allowed to post it. If you want to download it, drop me a line in the comments and I’ll send you the info so that you can do so. You’ll have to jump through some hoops, fair warning.
There’s a pretty good highlights vid up though, enjoy!
How about that start hill, eh? Holey-moley, how’d you like to have to recover from that effort right off the bat in your next race?
Yeeesh.
Happy Monday!

Hi there…
Thanks for following my blog!
This thing started off as a lark, and over the years that I’ve been doing it, has become a little bit of a monster.
It takes a fair bit of time – and a wee bit of money – to keep this thing rolling, and as you may have noticed, I’ve recently started asking for folks to chip in a bit if they feel like what they’re getting her is worth something to them.
Honestly, it’s not like I’m trying to get rich off this here thing… or really even make any money from it at all.
It’d just make my life a fair bit easier if I didn’t lose quite as much money doing this as I currently do.
It’d just make my life a fair bit easier if I didn’t lose money doing this!
So, hey… if you feel like you’ve gotten anything of value out of this blog, please do me a favor – and yes, it’s a favor, and I will be truly thankful for it – and send a buck or two (or five, or whatever…) my way.
How do you do that?
