I'm trying to figure out how my body adapts to and recovers from two different kinds of exercises. Right now I'm cycling 200+ miles per week and weight training once per week (going up to 3 times per week next month). My recovery day from cycling is the day that I do weight training, and my question is: will my body be able to recover from cycling all week AND recover from weight training? I'm using soreness as an indicator... I'm sore for 2 days at the end of my cycling week, and sore for about 3 days after my weight training day. Is my body able to repair itself sufficiently from both of these activities in time to be prepared for the next interval of training? Am I missing out better, more complete recovery?
I'm a 24 year old male who has been cycling and weight training for more than a year.
