A 'Recovery' Reminder...
I just got back from spending 2 weeks in Palm Springs and Encinitas with Trent and our friends Dave and Monica Nelson. The four of us went to California to incorporate some cycling into our holiday together. As it turned out, I think we ended up incorporating the 'holiday' around the cycling because we were having such an amazing time on all the different and beautiful routes we found. We rode through deserts, scenic communities, Camp Pendleton where military helicopters flew overhead, past stunning coastal views and dabbled in a few of the local shop rides.
It was hard to keep the principals of rest in perspective during our workouts. Let's face it - we didn't really want to 'rest' with all the awesome venues to ride or hike in, however we wanted to come off this holiday stronger and fitter, not exhausted and overtrained.
So for all of you who still live by the old 'go hard or go home' philosophy, here are a few of the key points I tried to remind myself of during our cycling holiday. Maybe these will be a friendly reminder for some of you too:
* An overload happens during workouts, but adaptation occurs during rest.
* Repeatedly short-changing your rest and your body will not continue to improve. You will actually lose fitness.
* Ensure you balance out a well-planned overload program which will result in positive adaptation.
'If it were not for fatigue, we would all be champions'
