Update for this thread:
I had a marathon race on Saturday, which was my first of the season of racing XC in the fall. I did the Dans TR workout for a recovery on Sunday, and admittedly, I probably should have just rested instead of doing an active recovery. Then Tuesday (yesterday), I attempted Mount Field, and I had to abort the workout 20 minutes in. I was COOKED. I even tried backing the intensity down about 10% but my legs were straight smoked.
My plan at this point is to rest 2 days and attempt Baxter on Friday. Then either rest three days to get back on the Tu, Th, Sat schedule, or attempt another active recovery on Sunday. Thoughts on this plan?
Again, this is my first experience with TR, so while I’m excited for the workout plan, I’m definitely disappointed that I started out on the wrong foot with the first workout.
