So far this week we did a gnarly Lactate Threshold test (LTHR) on Tuesday and completed the first workout in the Strength Maintenance phase on Wednesday. Two tough workouts. Today's workout will focus on recovery and stretching as we prepare for another LTHR test Friday.

Done correctly, recovery workouts are a very important link in the over all chain of training. Done incorrectly and you will be missing a link.

	Workout #1 (Cardio) Bike: Cycling - Recovery spin Planned Time: 45 minutes Workout Description: Very easy recovery spin on a flat course. Best on road bike. Small chain ring only. Zone 1 heart rates ONLY. If you have not completed your Lactate Threshold test for cycling, use the RPE scale.
	Alternate Cardio: Row: Rowing - Recovery pace Planned Time: 25 minutes Workout Description: Very easy recovery row. Do NOT go hard. Zone 1 heart rates ONLY. If you have not completed your Lactate Threshold test for rowing, use the RPE scale.
	Alternate Cardio: Run: Running - Recovery jog Planned Time: 30 minutes Workout Description: Running is NOT recommended as a form of recovery. The impact nature of running is not conducive to a recovery workout. However if you choose to run, do so with heart rate in zone 1 on a flat, soft surface. VERY easy. Embarrassingly slow. Best if done alone. If you have not completed your Lactate Threshold test for running, use the RPE scale.
	Workout #2 (Flexibility) Motocross Flex Program: Planned Time: 30 minutes Workout Description: Full Body Flexibility Routine.
Notes: For the cardio portion of your workout, you can choose to cycle, row, run or use a piece of gym equipment (elliptical, stationary bike, etc.). After cardio, complete MX full body flexibility routine.
