Big week riding

What do people do after a big week of riding. In the summer I am going to do a block of training with twice as many "training" miles as usual with about a 66% increase in tempo/threshold time compared to a normal week (based on previous training camps).

I am not sure weather to take an easy week after or just bat on as normal?

Thanks

    I would suggest that would depend on how the weeks leading up to the big week were and how you actually handle the increase in training load. If there is a substantial increase a week of easier riding might be a wise option, as if you do ramp up by as much as you say, especially in the higher intensity stuff, you might well be more suspectible to getting ill by just going back to your normal load.

    There is no one answer for all unfortunately, there will be a bit of suck it and see how you handle it.
