The day after hard workouts, do recovery workouts. On recovery workouts, keep your heart rate under 70%, even if that means toddling along on a MUP barely peddling.
I like this technique because it works and it's really simple. There are more advanced techniques for racers, but I'm improving, having fun, and not worrying so much about the numbers.
Ron - What is this technique achieving? Is it improved cardio health? Improved endurance? Increased strength? Increased speed? I'm not a racer, but am interesting in all-around improvement.
Thanks all!
