Pushed too hard. Legs are throbbing! MEDS????
I decided to add on to my route today. BAD IDEA. I was climbing for 43 minutes straight. NOT JOKING.
What do you guys use to eliminate the aches and pains? |

Eat a diet with good protein content, elevate the legs, stretch exercises and massage. If you really really want to dope, then some NSAID would help.

Are you dehydrated? Anyway, drink some milk and have a nice shower. Go and sleep!

Looks like you overextended yourself. Nothing you can do except take it easy and the soreness and fatigue will pass. Once you get really fit, there will be little you can do that will make you sore. |

I can feel A LOT of improvement. But currently it seems as if I'm doing a hard day, followed by a day off, and the same thing for the rest of the week. I think this will soon prove detrimental. |

...I just started myself and know I pushed to hard when my quads burn from just standing up the next day...be sure to drink a recovery drink as soon as possible when you get home...right after the shower works best for me...cool shower...sit on the sofa under the fan and drink away...usually the next day is tender in the beginning...but goes away quickly...slow your pace down a little...if you associate pain with cycling you will have a bike for sale pretty soon... |
