Buff Posted January 28, 2008 Share Bruce and other wise ones, I need some advice plz:How much work should be done/not done in a rest week?I've been on a 3 week build block finishing with a 20hr week yesterday. This week is rest week. The idea was to do 3 x 1hr30min sessions this week (easy spins) and 2 x 3hr sessions on the week (also easy). Am I on the right track here or should I be doing more/less?

Jason Posted January 28, 2008 Share It's also my recovery week and I'm doing way less than that... Also easy spins with a few short sprints later on in the week but nothing close to 3hrs except for the weekends racing and "it depends" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brakkies Sport Fotos Posted January 28, 2008 Share captain, ek was saam buff, en ons het saterdag alleen net 7 ure gedoen. Bo op Du Toits Kloof was dit 39grade en op die Bottlary pad was dit 41grade. So, kom ry net een dag van die week saam ons dan jaag jy klaar jou ure op :-) Die wind was van voor, maar ook net so goed jy het aan 'n haar droe?r gesuig.popeye2008-01-28 06:33:31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce Posted January 28, 2008 Share buff: sorry, I didn't see this thread. I generally don't do rest weeks anymore. I tend to feel worse after taking a whole week off than I did before the rest week. I also generally don't do 20 hour training weeks either, which is probably why I don't need rest weeks. As the good doctor says "It depends". Post what your last 3 weeks training was, then maybe I can give a better answer than "It depends" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brakkies Sport Fotos Posted January 29, 2008 Share Lem, Buff hulle gaan, maar ek hoor maar slegte stories oor al daai sand en die bike repair kostes na die tyd. Ek hoop liewer Buff hulle vegeet daarvan en dan kom ry ons in jou toer. Dis in elk geval beter om teen Du Toits te dooi, as om in die kantoor te sit.

Buff Posted January 29, 2008 Share Hi Bruce, thx for the feedback. I had no choice but to rest, my body was going into total lockdown . btw, this is training for the Epic, not league rides. Training schedule (last week), built up to this by adding 10% per week for the past 3 weeks: Mon am: 30m run Tues pm: 2h15m Hill work Wed am: 45m run pm: 2h15m Tempo ride Thurs pm: 2h15m Hill work Fri am: 30m run Sat: 6h LSD with a few climbs Sun: 4h30m LSD Lem, ek en Henning gaan op vir die Lighthouse. Sal graag jou Boland trip wil doen maar die verlof raak nou bietjie min. Miskien kom ry ek in de oggend en kom werk toe om te slaap in die middag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
