Recovery day

  • Id: 2026-06-01-recovery-day
  • Title: Recovery day
  • Kind: rest
  • Discipline: recovery
  • Surface: off-bike
  • Priority: key
  • Planned time: all day
  • Duration: off
  • Location: Severn, ON

Objective

Absorb the first updated Ghost-specific build week and prepare for the next threshold block.

Goal

  • Restore freshness after the first cornerstone gravel ride.
  • Keep the athlete fueled and settled before the next overload week.

Reasoning

A Monday recovery anchor protects the quality of the block. Sidney needs a hard professional build, but the hard work only matters if she absorbs it. This day keeps the plan from becoming blunt fatigue accumulation.

Event details

  • No structured ride.
  • Optional easy walk only if it feels restorative.
  • Optional 15-20 min movement reset: hip flexor opener, thoracic rotation, glute bridge, dead bug, calf mobility.

Recovery

  • Prioritize sleep, meal regularity, and hydration.
  • Keep the day genuinely light.

Fuelling

  • Eat normally and keep carbohydrate intake adequate.
  • Do not start Tuesday depleted.

Constraints

  • No additional gym work and no unprompted intensity. If something extra is on your mind, message first.
  • If fatigue, appetite suppression, poor sleep, or back symptoms are present, skip optional movement work.

Notes

Recovery is the training today.
