6/21 - Week 12
Base Week 4
Recovery Week

This is our first "recovery week." This means we will actually do slightly less this week, allowing our body to "absorb" the first three weeks of training. For us this means no workout on Friday and a shorter bike on Saturday. We get stronger when we rest, not actually during our workouts. This "down" week not only allows our bodies to rebuild and recover from the prior week's training, it also prepares us for the increased training to come. This cycling of training volume and intensity is known as "periodization." Those who don't take recovery weeks get injured, burned out, and have decreased performances on race day.
