Hi ladies,

I’m hoping you experienced riders/racers can share some of your recovery methods. I ride up to 5 times a week during the spring/summer months. I like to go long and hard and don’t see value in going out otherwise (I know, first mistake). At least long for me! I tend to do 60km during the week and up to 80km on the weekends. For those that ride on a daily basis, is it realistic to go hard two days in a row? I am pretty good about drinking a lot of liquids and eating right after. I’ve actually started to do research on foods that help the body recover faster, ie flush lactic acid.

Additionally, I try to spray my legs with ice cold water in the shower right after. Anything to speed up recovery!!! I am very rarely sore because I spin at very high cadences but I can definitely feel slight fatigue the next day.

What do you ladies do to recover and most importantly, recover quickly?

Thank you in advance for your tips!
