  • @andyp not really. i do these occasionally but get bored and should probably give it a go again.

    @TTM, the fatigue has only kicked in during the last few days; hasn't been a long term issue.

    I feel fine in my head and energy levels, just the legs feel super-tight and stiff. And I imagine it's from a combo of gym and bike.

    Obviously i can't isolate the effects of the gym stuff. I only go twice a week, but have been quite focussed with it, and yes, I think the leg stuff has been worthwhile. I certainly feel i have a stronger punch over 1-5 secs for example. I'll definitely step it to three sessions a week in the winter. And I do core work too which i've done for years - so hard to say about this - but i rarely get stiff back / neck on long rides.

    And i've just been for a sports massage at Cadence in Crystal Palace, so fingers crossed it helps.... legs feeling slightly jellyish right now!

  • +1 for recovery rides.

    Find a HR/Power limit to stay under and spin for 90 mins. You will stimulate recovery by pumping more blood to the legs, while not loading them very much. Works Wonders sometimes.

  • Any feedback on the massage at Cadence? I'd like to give one a try but don't know where to go.
