Am I going too easy/low volume on my recovery weeks?

@jacemano

So what’s the rationale between keeping it up.

Why can’t I just spin z1 for say 4 days then retest (my block finishes tomorrow and then I have an easy week)

Yeah this or…why even ride at all for a few days? If it’s about letting the body absorb the stress and come back stronger, why add any stress at all until that has happened?

Why do we even ride during a recovery week?

So currently getting my butt kicked on short power build low volume + outdoor rides to get me into the TSS 500’s and have a quick one about recovery weeks. Why do we even ride at all? If it’s about letting the body bounce back and get stronger…what about just skipping all training for 4-5 days then getting back after it? I’m guessing there is a good reason, but seriously, why? Thanks
