This is the pro way to recover.
If you are feeling time poor, I'm going to be controversial and suggest running at some point should feature. I don't know what the mud levels are like on your "cx scene", the ability to run without thinking "fuck this" is a good thing to have in the "skills quiver".
If you've got an hour ish and you need a decent non turbo session then there's always the lovely 30 - 30 - 30 sessions which I think are :
30/30s For The Win: 1 block of 5 minutes of 30 seconds all out/30 seconds rest.
30 bike sprint
30 rest
dismount + shoulder
30 run
remount
30 rest
30 bike sprint
recover for a period of time
cry.
repeat 5 min block
recover
cry
repeat 5 min block
that kind of thing.
