Three straight days of moderate to high intensity workouts lead us to today's recovery workout. Enjoy your Friday and get ready to ride this weekend. Focus on good nutrition, stretching, and a smart recovery workout. Make sure your intake of protein is adequate for recovery and rebuilding of muscle tissue.

Eat as clean and as well as you can so your body can absorb and adapt to the past few months of training.

	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.
