Recovery for cyclists: Get back in the saddle faster

Magdalena Bürk

Cycling constantly challenges both body and mind—whether on the road, trail, or trainer. However, progress is made during recovery, not under stress. Here, you'll learn why Recovery matters in cycling, which pro strategies work, and how you can easily integrate them into your training routine.

Why Recovery is so crucial in cycling

Cycling means constant strain: legs, hips, back, and circulation work at full speed for hours. This creates tiny stress stimuli in the muscles, known as microtraumas.
Only through conscious recovery can the body balance these processes – and thus improve strength, endurance, and cadence.

However, those who skip Recovery risk a drop in performance, muscle stiffness, or even overtraining. Smart Recovery ensures you stay strong longer and can consistently improve your performance throughout the season.
