I usually don't race more than about once a month max. This works for me as I like to recover and get in another block of training before the next race. I don't ever use a race as a "catered training day" and push very hard.
My question is what would the experts recommend in terms of recovery and training during the following schedule:
8/18- Sprint
8/24- 5k Obstacle Course (this is with a group so should be easy aerobically but I do plan on some aches and pains afterwards)
8/31- Century Ride (I will ride with a paceline attempting to break 4 hours so very hard effort)
9/7- Oly
9/29- HIM
I am planning on reduced volume and intensity as I recover from each race... hopefully enough to flush out the soreness by the next weekend. I realize I may not be at 100% for every one, but i'll be happy at 95%. Is this doable or am I biting off more than I can chew? Thanks in advance for any advice!
