Will cross training in boxing, on what would otherwise be rest/recovery ride days, have any meaningful negative consequences on my cycling training?
I find it depends on what sort of session I'm doing and how much it impacts my legs. Heavy bag doesn't take much out of my legs (unless I'm kicking too), but pad work does, and sparring definitely does.

Will cross training in boxing, on what would otherwise be rest/recovery ride days, have any meaningful negative consequences on my cycling training? In the past I've only ever concentrated on one sport or the other, but would like to mix it up with both for a change.
Am currently transitioning to include boxing, in what was a purely cycling only summer, with the end plan to be alternating between the two for 6 days in a row, followed by one proper day off per week, in 4 week blocks. Is this a good plan or wishful thinking?
