Going EASY

Well... it seems any time I make a post about training, some asshole comes out of the woodwork to make a rude comment. It's my blog, so I can delete whatever comments I don't like... it's already been deleted from this post. Honestly, if you have to post anonymous abusive comments... what does that say about yourself? A bit insecure perhaps?

As to what was in this original post, i'm going to rephrase a bit:

I (re-?)learned the value of going VERY EASY this week. I was forced to ride a VERY EASY two hours last Friday... think MTB pace, or not much faster. Well, I woke up Saturday and my legs felt good, almost too good for the volume I had already put in that week, and despite downing several beers the night before. My 6 hour ride that day, I was much stronger than I expected to be. I can only attribute this to the ride the day before. Or maybe I'm just killer fit. ;-)

My conclusion.... easy sometimes isn't easy enough. I do plenty easy workouts for recovery, but I'd benefit on some days by dropping my HR 10 beats further and just going "cruisy pace".
