You had a day off, maybe your legs just shut down from having a day off. Happens to me. My legs normally feel like wood after a day off.

Yes. Also on days when I've been a dick and got very dehydrated, the 'hangover' of fatigue lasts for days.

I'm not an expert but if you're bonking despite eating well and then bonking again after 20 mins workout, there might be something else wrong.
Are you sleeping enough?

Went on a reasonably tough and reasonably long (70+ miles) training ride on Tuesday. I thought I was eating and drinking well, and more than normal...
Bonked hard on about 50 miles. Rested up and ate well when I got home.
Took it easy yesterday.
Got onto turbo this morning planning to do 2 x 20 threshold. Could hardly manage 10 minutes at sweetspot. Heart rate was responding well so didn't seem to be fatigue, more just that I had no strength in the legs to push the pedals.
I haven't bonked for a while, but I swear in past experiences I used to be ok again the next day. Anyone else found they've had a bit of a 'bonkover', i.e., still feeling pathetic a few days later?
