Say I've been doing ~120 mile bike weeks with 4 hrs of running. Say I do a week with about triple the miles biking and 4 hrs running.
I feel fine after the big week with the exception that higher intensities on the bike are more of a struggle than I remember. I'm operating under the belief that since I've returned to normal volumes my body will recover and adapt from the big week. This seems to be happening but I'm still feeling the effects with over 1 week of "recovery".
I'm hitting target intensities and durations so I'm not backing off. Just curious about thoughts contrasting what I have been doing to a really light recovery week.

Note to self: increase training load.
