recovery is totally important! rest, too!
as far as pushing through....well, it might depend what your goals are. 3 days in a row is a limit for anybody, I think, unless that 4th ride is total fun and recovery, not strenuous at all....
I have less than 4 weeks until my first race, and the trails here are just opening up. I"m doing loads of road riding, riding, but some days I have to take off, too....today my legs felt sore on the very short ride to work and home (only 5.46 km!!), but I did it faster than yesterday, so that's cool. tomorrow is a fun, kind of intense group ride - mostly guys and I'm hard on myself to be near the front... - so I knew I needed to give 'em a break. they're happy about that. if I can get my chores done soon I'll do some yoga. wait...chores? I can't do that while I"m reading and typing!! :eek:
namaste,
