How much is to much ??

[Andy clarke]

Hi everyone,
I'm getting missed reviews on how much to do,
I've been riding to and from work every day minimum 5.8 miles each way a little hilly. Some times on the return going out to 17 miles.
Then at the weekend doing 20-40 miles I only started to ride December on a road bike. Just lately I've been feeling soooooooo tired! I've recently read somewhere to do a couple of rides in the week then at the weekend do a bigger ride? I only had a kidney transplant this time last year! Thanks in advance for any help.

Everyone is different but if you feel tired then have a rest there is no point making yourself ill.

Hi thanks I've taken it easy this week! I just feel I'm not progressing almost going back I guess I need a riding buddy!

When I feel tired I just take a couple of days off and don't do much then when I get back on the bike I can notice the difference.

You need rest time to help muscles build (or something, I'm sure someone will put me right! )
You may well go faster after a proper break!

This is where I find keeping a not of resting heart rate a good idea, if you wake up and it is elevated then it is time for a rest. That is my way, others may be different, good on you for getting out and doing some exercise.

If you don't wake up - you may have a problem!

Make sure you do plenty of stretches and drink plenty of water.

I would say if that happens it is the end of your problems.

I'll put you right. Not for 100 miles a week you don't.

How much is to much?
I scoured the internet for an answer even looked in my Thesaurus but in the end it was just TOO much.

Not surprising using all those resources must have nearly killed you
