Hey all,
So after blowing up my first turbo I now have my replacement and I've put in a couple days of decent rides (for me). I've been out of the biking game for quite some time. Bought a 29er MTB about 5 years ago but never really got back into it. Now I really NEED to get back into cycling for my health, and it's something I always enjoyed.
So this doesn't really matter in regards to my question, but I'm currently indoors on a trainer using Bkool.
My question really comes down to rest days and recovery. I'm starting out slow, doing 2 miles at night after I come home from work and I'll move up from there as I get my cardio and strength built up. However, what should I be doing for rest and recovery? At first, I planned on pedalling everyday that I can, but maybe I should have rest days?
Any advice on the topic is much appreciated, I want to get healthier and drop some weight but I know there can be a delicate balance between working out and recovery. It's been a while for me
