As race season approaches Ive been pouring on the mileage and intensity. I usually take one full day off and have 2-3 "easy" days with the others being quick group rides, hill repeats/intervals. Last week I had a hard group ride wendsday, hill repeats thursday, longer mileage on friday. Yesterday when I got on my bike to do an easy ride and my heartrate shot up really quick and I felt dead for the first 8 miles of my ride. Took forever to feel warmed up. Suggestions for how much to rest? I think im taking 2 full days off, but want to prevent this for later. Should I rearrange how I do my rides? what do you guys do?
