When you train hard, the importance of recovery is more pronounced. Most readers will agree that the VO2 Max Booster Program is challenging, so there is also an increased need for recovery. Today you will do an easy ride of just 30 minutes, so use your extra free time to think about how you can improve your recovery.
I like to optimize recovery principles because that helps you get stronger without working harder. Work smarter, not harder.
The proper use of simple recovery tips can accelerate your recovery and help you reach a higher performance level. For example, if you rehydrate, eat carbohydrates and proteins, change clothes and do some easy rolling immediately after training sessions, that will help you.

I just noticed that this workout is only 25 minutes long! Should this workout include an extra 5 minutes of warmup/cool down, or 5 more (30+30) intervals?
Thanks!!!
