Recovery training
I'm wondering if there is a rule of thumb on how long it takes to get back
to the same level of fitness after some time off. I was off the month on November and after a month of "recovery training" am not really close to where I was before. I find that it is very easy to pump the HR up too high, and I usually back off when that happens. I had been hoping a day - for - a - day type thing, but it's looking more like a 2 - for 1 deal. -Scott. |

This sign is just that your body and your muscles are not in sync with each other. Your muscles can put a larger stress on your heart than normal (relativly speaking), this comes from that the muscles do degenerate more slowly than the central system (read body) which degenrate rather fast. The fine about this is that it also reacts fast to training. So if you feal that you have done your base training right then put in some quallity sessions also in the training menu and put some stress on the centra system. Start slowely and build up the intensity with each quallity session done, don't overdo it the first times othewise it can backfire on you. I'm in the same (or nearly the same) situation and i have started to do my quallity sessions yesterday, and ON SNOW ;-). My next quallity session is next week with some easier sessions in between.

I tired your suggestion; on a couple of my work-outs I upped the pace a bit
(towards the upper end of Zone 3) and it seems to be working. thanks, -Scott. This sign is just that your body and your muscles are not in sync with each other.
