My sessions were timed around speedwork and I usually managed to recover ok. I'd get DOMS the day after my turbo session. Scherrit might have a contact for me but my riding is likely ramping up to the point where I won't be recovering for days so I need to manage it. Like skinny said, it's the first thing I'll drop if I feel I can't manage it along with the cycling.

I am a very weak and puny man with legs like twigs. I write enjoy 'strength' work in the gym for the legs an core conditioning for variety and to add a little power and robustness.
I do sometime question why i'm doing it though...
It can occasionally feel detrimental. The DOMS if i've not done a session in a while or if i've upped the weights can fuck me the next day, but if you get a regular routine its ok. If i had less training time i would ditch the gym though.
