Cheers Phil. Ah, that's interesting. I'm doing one week on and three off. That would explain my increase in kg per watts.
Regards.

Lol😂

Just ended my third rest week in a row. Time to get on the bike again...
I live in England, I have 2 months off, one week on. We have weather.
English weather is better than no weather - as in space.
i've been recovering for 33 years
@@KrazyKrzysztof 🤣
This has come at such a good time when I'm starting my recovery week
Same here 😂

Super helpful! I really need to stop feeling guilty when taking a rest day
Thanks Phil. Great advice. :) Was just going into a rest week and decided to reduce the load further. Keep coming with these great tips
Great video, thanks Phil! Especially the bit about eating during the rest week! Such an important reminder ⭐️
one week prior to a race, I usually do 3-4 short taper rides with few short effort, the day before a little wake up ride with 2-3 kicks , ever since I do that I have never had really bad legs on race day... when I started cycling/ triathlon I used to take 4-5 days OFF prior to races , that was terrible in comparison. In normal training I do the 3:1 ratio
Phill, please come to Seattle for some segments! We have tons of hill climbs!!!
Hey Phil do you have any tips on cycling with a heavy manual labor job ? Cycling has helped me get out of depression but Im having so much difficulty now that im back at work..
I'm afraid your posting in the wrong channel. I feel there is not much personal experience in this area from the author. Maybe try submitting the question to Trainerroad forum or other online places where people mixing day to day jobs and training gather up.
@@gtom84 good idea
Tricky to balance a physical job and cycling.but it's doable .train efficiently and rest really well.cheers 🍺

This is really good because I think recovery and rest is overlooked
25 hours! Much more than 12 and bit's of me start falling off and I am too fatigued to train .... still I am 54 year old trying to keep my 4.5wkg benchmark. Optimal is 8 hours rest week is 5.
Thanks Phil!!
Really enjoying your RUclips videos!! Take care of YOU!!
Stay safe!
Awesome video! Great info! I really need a rest week, but felt guilty doing it. Time for a nap! THANKS PHIL!!!
Anyone else do better with 2 on 1 off? I find I can actually handle more load and recover better with 2/1 than when I’ve tried 3 on 1 off.
I came here looking for this comment. I was doing 3/1, but now doing 2/1 and my body seems to like 2/1 better than 3/1. But maybe that's because this sort of feels like the off-season and i should do 3/1 again when racing comes back. Or maybe that's because I'm getting older and I need more recovery...
This comment is almost a year old lol. For me, 3 on 1 off works perfect if you are doing progressive overload. Makes you get really toasted on the third week, but doable.
Well i'm currently having enforced rest after getting wiped out by a car. Lucky to only have a contusion in my left quad but looking like a few weeks off the bike. Apparently you have SOME experience with injury layoffs... any tips for staying sane? Keep up the good videos!
Excellent advice from a pro 👍
Hey Phil! Can you make a video about base or long low intensity training. And on how can you experiment on your training program ( with base training )
Pretty apt seen as I'm just starting a recovery week! Three weeks on, one off and I always struggle to "slow down" enough.
Thanks! Honest question. I have a hard time eating enough to recover. And the more tired I get, the more I seem to lose my appetite. How do you get in enough calories with feeling sick? It would be awesome with a video on the calories/nutrition side of recovery over a full training block, not just a single day :)
I know your question was directed at the Phil, but I would like to share how i consume enough calories. I use lots of oats, not the instant kind. I soak them in water to soften them in the fridge put them in a blender with some peanut butter and frozen berries then whizz up and drink, I find if I dont soak them it's like shitting glass. I find eating an effort but I can down drinks without much thought.
Cap your training at ten hours a week until you are pro. Train smarter and more specific . Not more hours. Isolated leg work. Low/high cadence. Focus on smoothness. Riding in the drops, standing/seated. Sprints. Climbing. I never made bigger Improvements than when I capped my hours, which forces qualitative training vs endless hours. My ftp was about the same as phil. If you're curious. Age 22.
Thanks, good logical advice.
What if you train 5 to 8 hours a week. Do you need it?
How about doing other sports in your rest week in the "cut-out" hours? Like upper-body weightlifting, swimming, climbing? Would that be ok? Also, how do you feel about sauna, is that helping?
Cheers!
I’m recovering from my recovery - I like 3 weeks build 1 week easy
Rest is more or as important than as the training
So when we put our feet up, how high should they be?
‘Peace’ is back! Thanks mate. Watched from my sofa resting.
So I was hoping you'd make it okay to lie on the couch for the entire week, with like DoorDash deliveries for extra credit. And thanks, Phil, for this, always fascinating to hear how it is done right, how all of it is done right, everything from truckin' up the big climbs to just chillin' out with those ice legs.
amazed by your perspective on this. mine was radically different. no way I can tell the story here. I'm in the process of mulling over my own channel, coming in the next year or two. this will certainly be one of the topics. cheers.
Yeah, I was gunna try every 6 weeks so that makes sense, then this morning week 4 I’m cooked, time to back it off.
Strained my tendon rlly badly so I can even do anything with my left forearm
Everesting is so yesterday; it's all about Trenching now!
Im a roofer:(
Bro I’m trying to recover from last nite 🇺🇸🧨🍻
My tip is to *never* take an easy week. I’ve just had one, riding Zone 2 only for whole week. An on Saturday I crashed - broken collarbone and end of dreams about a new PB FTP I was aiming in today’s test. Listen to my story.
*Edited*: this is an irony... Of course, regular easy periods are essential to get growths...
Speedy recovery! Now I feel good about being lazy, and mostly riding on Zwift xD
How is this the fault of the easy week
"eat like a normal person".........it's been 10 years since, tf is normal anymore
All processed foods like pizza, burgers, chips, icecream and beer!
You can tell this doesn’t have kids
