This may sound a silly question, but I can't help wondering.
I don't know if it's a good or bad sign.
But basically, for the last 3-4 weeks I've being doing racing/ chaingang on the Saturday and a hilly ride on the sunday, then 3 sessions on trainer on tue, wed, thur, tue will be chaingang soon. Now after each of these 3 sessions, my legs ached abit until the morning, same after the rides at the weekend, but like tonight, I gave it a good thrashing on the turbo, Sunday I also pushed hard, and Saturday I did in the race, we averaged nearly 25mph over 31 miles which was tough for me.
Anyway, my legs aint aching that much any more, since like the middle of last week, they just feel a little stiff/tight until the morning after and feel totally normal again, on Monday and Friday my recovery day has a 30min spin on the turbo not going over 130bpm.
And I was wondering if on my recovery days I should actually not even do a steady 30min spin on the turbo as it might be hampering my legs ability to recover and repair the muscles?
Or am I just worrying over nothing and it's probably a good sign? I know on Sunday my hill performance shown signs of improving as I was flying up the hills until I was forced into the big ring for the rest of em due to an error I made which bent my front mech.
Thanks
Will.
