Is it advisable to ride daily?
Back when I'd work out in the gym (now a fading memory) I'd obviously never work on the same muscle group two days in a row. Is the same advice applicable to cycling? Or is it not because cycling is much more aerobic vs anaerobic. Which brings me to my next question: what percentage of my ride, if any, should by anaerobic?

If you want your oil changed when you are 65, maybe not good idea to ride everyday.

Never let your boys go numb. That means you are damaging your nerves.
No nerves, no changing oil. It might be a crappy seat. Also crappy pants. Maybe you need to do a better job of moving around on the seat and getting the blood flowing. So the answer: no it's not normal, but it can happen, and you should prevent it at all costs. |
You can usually ride 5 or 6 days a week without too much problem, just so long as your workouts are varied. Most coaches recommend doing a hard, anaerobic workout no more than twice weekly, possibly up to three times weekly in highly trained riders. Even during those workouts, the anaerobic portion is in repeating intervals between 30 secs and 10 minutes. Other than that, most miles for fitness should be in the 60-85% range.
