Subject: high bike volume in a run recovery week
I have a recovery week next week. I been doing a run focus block for 3 weeks around 30mpw. 1 long run 8-9miles 1 interval run 4 or 5 x 1/2 mile and 3 or 4 easy runs a week, only swim 1 day a week and bike 2 days 1 spin class and one day on trainer. So next week is a recovery week and the running will drop 25 - 50 %. With the weather to be great I was thinking of doing 4 bike rides of 1- 3 hrs easy in the week. Question is will that be a recovery week for my running still. I have had the trouble of not taking time off and doing the same thing all the time. This is the 1st time I have done the 3/1 week plan. I don't feel over trained just not progressing. Any help thanks

Only you can tell for sure but not everyone needs to rest each 4th week.  If you are looking to just get out and ride I think some long easy rides would still allow run recovery.  If those rides change to moderate or higher intensity then that defeats the purpose of the recovery week.

generally when I'm recovering from running I spin on the bike and swim.
