      For some athletes shutting down after a rest week is a big hurdle in training. It is a well known pattern, so you are not weird. The problem is, yes, you absolutely do need rest weeks! The solution is to put a longer aerobic based ride mid-week if you do not have a test or race or some other intense session inserted already into your rest week.
