I'm starting to think I take too many recovery days (typically 2 per week, monday=off, friday=1 hr easy). Today, normally an easy spin, I did 2x20's at a solid speed on the trainer (compared to other sessions) with low PE (I think my PE monitor is broken). Are there any adaptations that happen over the course of a recovery day? Is there any reason to take on other than if it's needed to train properly for the next few days?
Alternately, maybe I should take RDO's stance, and say that 2x20's ARE a rest day!
