10 days in a row on the bike; its a start. Last year between January to mid November I only had 5 days off.
People freak out all the time about rest days, etc. and I've been lectured several times about how important it is. Of course they're too busy to actually read my training log, they may gloss over it and ignore the TSS values, etc. Yes, studies say you need rest, and you can't go full gas all the time. The thing is, the most important thing in training is consistency. When riding your bike is as mandatory as brushing your teeth everything else falls in place. You can ride everyday, provided some are under 40 TSS (and many of mine are under 25).
All those guys that lecture me about riding too much have always had training lapses. You take a day off, decide that day you're going to knit a quilt, then suddenly your knitting 3 hours a day and haven't ridden in a week.
