I know you're supposed to take a day off now and then to recover, but I don't like them just the same. I'd rather be on the bike.
Would someone please remind me again why I should take time for recovery now and then? I had a somewhat challenging 26 miles today and my legs are sore. I've had a great first week of the year, riding every day and reaching 104 miles or so already. For me, that's a Very Good Week.
So why should I take tomorrow off? Is even a little ten miler that bad for me? I know there will be days when I just can't ride, because of the schedule, or business travel, or torrential rain or something, so why can't I ride all the other days?
Recovery, Shmuvery.
