Days off!

Part of any good training schedule is an element of rest,its not just about pounding everyday you need to bring the traning adaptation on board and this can only be done through rest either sedatary or active.

Sedatary rest is completely off the bike while active recovery is a uba steady ride to flush out toxins and any metabolic waste that can accumilate in the body with reapeated hard training this is typically done during the racing season.

I have just had 2 days off back to back just cos i felt i needed it but now comes the tough part 3 hard days consecutive you can have the sweet but now comes the sour!!

Took the opportunity to give my old winter training bike a wash down this morning as this winter has really took its toll.The build up of shite was embarrasing and it took me a full hour of scrubbing to get it looking half respectable a quick squirt of WD40 and a good blast of teflon on the chain and she's now ready for a good blasting tomorrow 2 hours hilly with hill sprints......hmm nice!!!
