Rest week every 4 weeks

What does it mean to do a 4 week rest period?

It means that your ride 2 or 3 times that week and don’t kill yourself doing it.   Your body needs this break even if you are feeling good. 2. Schedule a rest week after the second 4 week period of training (i.e. do a 4 week period, rest week as above, another 4 week period).

How often do you take a rest week?

Schedule a rest week after the second 4 week period of training (i.e. do a 4 week period, rest week as above, another 4 week period).   At this stage I will usually take the week completely off the bike.

What does a rest week mean to you?

This rest week doesn’t necessarily mean no riding.   It means that your ride 2 or 3 times that week and don’t kill yourself doing it.   Your body needs this break even if you are feeling good.
