Today is an ACTIVE REST DAY. Active rest day workouts involve low intensity training and are limited to 90min. There will be a HR limit of approximately LT minus 20 bpm (upper Zone 2) so choose a route that is not very challenging. Your gearing should encourage a brisk, but smooth, pedal stroke (around 90 rpm) for most of the workout. If your breathing begins to pick up or you feel noticeable tension in the leg muscles you are going too hard. Learn to utilize rest and recovery days--they will make the hard training days all that more productive. Train smart today, go easy.
