I think so. During base, I don't ride as hard, but I go pretty much at the same effort level every day, and I don't want to inhibit progress in any way. To that end, use the 1/2 hr recovery window to your best advantage. My philosophy (right or wrong) is to cut calories off the bike, not while riding or immediately thereafter.
