As such I really don't want to overdo it right out of the gate and frankly its been a long time since I've been this out of shape.
So.. days off. Good or horrible?
Personally, I found I made better progress when I took at least one day a week off from cycling. Then I found that I made even better progress when I found that a day off from cycling didn't mean no activity. I have since reduced my riding to five days a week, and go to the gym the other two. The off days seem to help a lot. One thing is that I don't do two off days in a row. For me my off bike days are Monday and Friday...
