He told me to ride 3x a week for about 1 hour and 60% MHR and to do this for 4 weeks. He said I can run/swim, etc but no more then that on the bike. Can anyone offer me some other advice? Has any of you gone through this before?
Thanks.
I was getting to that point. Normal rides would tire me out, I couldn't stay in zone2, and really didn't want to be on a bike. Taking a week off the bike did wonders! I was enjoying being on a bike again, and my power went up.
