Since I am doing my taper down for the race this weekend, I did some light weight training today. I usually perform resistance training at least twice a week. Even during race season you want to make sure you keep your core strong and can push the big chain ring on your bicycle. During the off season, I will work on my strength training more intensely.
When I am less than a week out of a race, I will keep the amount of weight used during my session to a much lower weight and perform the exercises with smooth controlled repetitions. This way I still get the wonderful burn, but lower my risk of injury considerably.
I still feel great and injury free.
