rebuilding form after exams?

[Michielveedeebee]

As a student I'm forced to stop cycling for a month and a half right now. So after the exams, i wonder how i should start rebuilding form? doing long slow rides with 5 min intervals or just long rides. or should i start training intensivelly from the beginning? Now I just run for about 6 km once a day not to lose my condition, but I was told by a teammate that running isn't good. Am I doing the right thing?

Why stop training just because of exams?

 

[RedheadDane]

Yeah. Excactly! I don't hope you have exams every day. In fact going for a short ride daily could perhaps even help you concentrating on the studying.

(And I should probably consider following my own advice...)

because of the huge amounts I have to learn

 

[RedheadDane]

Sounds evil!
Still... a ride to unwind could be a good idea sometimes...

Why not try learning the stuff during the semester and train consistently, too? You'd be less stressed.

And... of course you can ride your bike out to your exams (Unless of course you have a lot of books to turn in... or has to bring computer, printer and such if for a written exam...)

[RedheadDane]

Sounds like a plan to me!

Harden up and get up early and go for a ride for an hour, or hell even 45 minutes if you have to. Organise your time.
