Assume that you are on some kind of 'training plan' with a goal/important ride/event say in 6 weeks. It is day 'n' and your plan calls for a rest day. And you can tell that there is built up fatigue and you need a rest day.

HOWEVER, day 'n+1' will be a rest day regardless - the plan doesn't call for one but there will be no room for a workout of any kind on day n+1.

So what do you do on 'day n'? Do you just make it an 'active recovery ride day'. Do you try to do the day n+1 workout as best as you can, knowing that you will have a rest day following? or ??

Just curious - thanks.
