This week is all about recovery for the Critical Power test this weekend. Today I did 45 minutes on the CompuTrainer, keeping the cadence up and heart rate down. Pretty much just spinning my legs, hopefully getting some blood flowing through them. Average heart rate was 130, average cadence was 93 and power was 158. My legs have been a little sore the past week, especially my calves, so I’m hoping this mornings ride and the one on Thursday will help them recovery sufficiently for the test on Saturday.
Speaking of sore, the rest of my body is feeling it from the workout in the weight room yesterday morning. I definitely have to keep that up so I don’t get so sore and I don’t lose muscle mass while I bring my weight down.
