I’m pretty sure you’ve heard of the 2-in-1 concept, like shampoo etc. Well this entry is no different, it’s a combo entry. My fingers need to rest. You'll understand what I mean as we go along. I’m going to start off with training recovery and then my visit to Sam’s bike shop.
The past few weeks have been very productive for my recovery program. I’ve managed to stick to the plan and I can see incremental improvements be it fitness level, cadence, average speed, power output and heart rate zones. Plus the wether has been amazing. It’s sunny and chilly during the weekends even though technically it’s the rainy season.
But these couple of weeks I’ve experienced a couple speed bumps. It’s easy to be demotivated when there’s an apparent lack of progress. It’s very important to stay focus and persevere during lagging moments. The fact is, more training doesn’t make you fitter. Getting fitter isn’t just about busting your legs by increasing your training intensity, it’s about recovering from the workouts too. Recovery or resting is important in order to avoid accumulating “tiredness” as this will impede fitness.
