Active Recovery Cycling | MyWhoosh Pre-Race Workout
What does the day before a bike race look like? In this video, I take you through my Saturday pre-race ride on MyWhoosh and show how I use active recovery, a natural cadence, and short efforts to prepare for Sunday Racing Club.
Today’s session was 57 minutes at 165 watts average and 108 bpm average. I rode three 3-minute blocks at 199 watts, then four 20-second activations at 120–123 rpm. I let my legs find their rhythm, kept the efforts controlled, and eased back to about 150 watts between activations.
Month after month, I’ve made those easy blocks a priority. That’s the routine I’m taking into tomorrow’s race. Get the legs turning, recover between efforts, and save the harder work for race day.
