Mike,
You might want to think about adding some easy cycling as a recovery workout. I've found that comuting on my bike with focus on "sweat management" is a great way to flush the system and increase your overall pedaling effeiciency without adding much further training stress (You also get the added benefit of moral superiority). Form personal experience I have found that if you keep your efforts to about 60% MHR you wont have to worry too much about loosing muscle mass.
