Work, travel, illness, family demands, and plain old life can knock training off track faster than most cyclists would like to admit.

And once a few weeks slip by, the temptation is to make up for lost time with harder rides, longer sessions, and a schedule that looks impressive on paper.

But jumping back into hard training is rarely the answer, especially when the body has already been under stress from everything else going on in life.

The body does not care much about feeling behind, it only responds to the stress you apply and the recovery you allow.

When you go from little structure straight into full training, you usually rebuild fatigue first, not fitness.
