- Not likely to be a problem at all.
- In some workouts, Coach Chad even mentions taking back pedals for short periods of time to aid in recovery.
- The main point of continuing to pedal in the recoveries (forward or backward) and instead of stopping pedaling all together is to keep the systems in your body working in an effort to reset from the prior work, and in anticipation for the pending work.
- Differences can come into play with specific workout types and possibly short recoveries, but there is not much sacred about the pedaling cadence in recoveries.
