As Coach Troy Jacobson points out in the beginning of Spinervals Competition 8.0: Recovery & Technique, an essential but sometimes neglected part of any cyclist's training program is recovery. Workouts like Suffer-O-Rama, Time Trial Special, The Zoot Challenge, and The Uphill Grind are extremely intense, intended to tax your muscles and cardiovascular system to the maximum. After workouts like this, an "active recovery" workout allows the body to rest and regenerate while providing the perfect opportunity to work on technical skills. Recovery & Technique is an ideal workout to do several times each week during your training program.
