Riding every other day
At the end of August I had my foot operated on for a bunion and plantar fibromatosis. I’m on week 3 of getting back into shape after 5 months of no riding. I find riding everyday aggravates my foot so I ride every other day and that has been working out great. Having fresh legs makes the ride better for me. I’m just curious if any of you ride a similar schedule? I plan on returning to riding consecutive days but after a few more weeks. This week I trained on Mon, Wed, Fri and plan on riding Sunday. Average ride about 30 miles and trying to ride 100 miles per week minimum.

I'm recovering from damaged tendons and back which flared up when I was running earlier in the summer. And of course, you know Rowan's situation.
Right now we're riding on weekends, but I'd really like to get some after work riding in too. My Sports Dr has cleared me for easy riding, but these days I'm so tired by the time I get home from work, and it's not just a matter of riding out the door ... we've got to drive somewhere to find easy riding.

You're likely recovering better with day off between rides. I'm so old I need two days between hard workouts.

The good part is, even with my measured pace of advancement, I'm still improving after three years. So, pluses and minuses.
