I really hate recovery weeks. Since I'm riding less, I burn fewer calories so I feel like I can't eat as much so I'm hungry. But they do seem to prepare me well for the next block.
Well it seems to be working for you! Maybe I'll give it a try... but I don't want to give up Stahl Ride every 4 weeks haha!
