A lot of my Monday commutes are recovery rides (depending on just how many km I do on Sunday). For me it's just a case of backing off the intensity a little and not pushing the tired muscles too hard. Something I've noticed on these days - if I take it easy on the ride to work in the morning, by the afternoon I'm usually back in form.
