If you keep doing the same things you can't expect different results.
Proper recovery is vital for improvement to take place. Graeme Obree is a great advocate of the importance of recovery. He wrote about 'rest' days when he would be on the bike forcing himself to go slow at low effort, ignoring the cyclists overtaking him on MTBs. It takes a lot of restraint and discipline to do this but is a necessary factor in improving.
I like the idea of going extra hard on Mon and Fri, and going extra easy from Tues-Thurs.
However 2 days at the weekend may not be a long enough recovery period to enable any over-compensation gains/improvements.
Now if only I could get faster too...!
