  1. January has been a very, very lean riding month so far. Between weather, obligations, and health, I've barely been on the bike.

    So how do you guys approach it when you've been away for a short while, say two to three weeks?

    Do you:

    a) Ease back into it
    b) Hit it hard right out of the blocks with recovery days in between
    c) Hit it hard with no recovery days
    d) something in between

  2. I normally resume my pre-break volumes but cut the intensity of all high-intensity efforts about 10% (watts). So, if I was doing my L4s at 250W, I would probably back off to 225W for the first week back.

  3. i do a) and i blame myself for it and try not to brake my riding again, at the very least try to do random training here and there to avoid a complete lost of condition,

  4. I usually do an easy day and then go right back to my schedule.
