Yesterday the legs felt decent on the commute even though the previous two days they were achey from the race. Those two days were hard so I thought they'd still be achey but they felt snappy on the commute today.
I think I do well the week after a rest week. Last week was somewhat of a rest week that ended with a race on Sunday.
Last week
Mon-Off
Tues- Off
Wed-1hr with some hard efforts
Thurs-Easy mtb skills work
Fri-Off
Sat-1hr Zone 2 with 5x1min on 2 off
Sunday-Race
Mon- Off (though my legs felt decent)
Tues-Tough Butt Kicker workout 4sets 12min on alternating 2mins MSP with 4x:15 on :15 off leadout intervals. Only able to complete 3 sets
Wed-1hr hard MTB, legs ached didn't ride too well
Thurs- Commuting.
I think I need to adjust the cycles to put a race the week after a rest cycle and not at the tail end of a rest cycle.
