Ah, a rest week
Last week was a full week. Sure, the riding made it busy, but there was plenty of other stuff going on to make it a hard week. By the time Sunday rolled around I was ready for some time off the bike. Then I saw that I had a 90 minute workout scheduled. Thankfully, I also saw that this week will be a rest week.
Now that doesn’t mean that I am off the bike entirely, but it does mean that I have less time on the bike. I know my body needs it and I believe my mind will enjoy it too. We’ll see what it does for me the following week.
- Monday – No bike
- Tuesday – No bike
- Wednesday – Core workout/30 minutes on bike
- Thursday – 60 minutes on bike
- Friday – 90 minute endurance ride
- Saturday – 2 hour 45 minute endurance ride
- Sunday – No bike
Only 6 hours on the bike certainly seems like a rest after 10+ hour weeks for the last two. I realize that even 10 hours is a rest week for some cyclists. However, I’m not at that level.
So, what do I plan to do with those four hours? I’m going to catch up doing some of the things I wish I could have been doing while I was on the bike! So, the rest week won’t have a lot of rest — but I know I’ll come out of it with a bit less stress.
Let the rest week begin!
