Resting
Hello, I took up road cycling about 5 weeks ago and have been biking almost every day since. I'm hoping to ride in the Little 5 at IU next year so my training right now involves riding about 30 miles a day. I'm hoping to get this up to 40 - 50 miles a day by september but I dont know if i should be taking a lot of days of rest. I bike virtually every day and rest maybe one day a week. Is this way too much riding and not enough resting? will this be detrimental in the long rong, keeping my legs from building necessay muscle?
thanks,
thanks,
