Number 1 from the 10 commandments of training[size=150]1. Keep stress (training and otherwise) and recovery in approximate balance. Fitness gains are maximized when you are adequately (if not completely) rested for each workout; the more effectively you manage recovery, the more productive your workouts will be, and the more progress you will make. Diet, rest, stress levels, massage, and even the time of day you work out (e.g., try to avoid the heat of the day) all have a direct impact on the extent and quality of recuperation. [color=#0000FF]A good rule of thumb is that you should feel fresh several times a week, just before a long or intense ride/race. Avoid going too hard/long on easy days, and then not hard enough on intense days[/color]. [/size]
