Weight Training Lower Body During "Down Time"
Do any of you weight train your lower body during your macro rest/recovery phases?
I just finished Carmichael’s TCC program (I’ll post my thoughts on that when I have more time). According to the program, I'm due for a 6-week rest/recovery period. I’m done racing for the spring and plan to do 4-5 more races clustered in mid-late-August.
Other than some less intense riding over the next 6-weeks and catching up on some upper-body work, I’m also thinking about adding lower body gym work since I have not done that since early March. In other words, treat this 6-weeks as a mini-winter for training purposes.
Thoughts appreciated.
