Pros used to race 100+ days a year. 3-4 days in the average week.

Not to step in where giants tread, but I had this exact same thing happen and the solution was much more mundane.

Turns out my seat had slipped down a bit. Whenever my seat is too low my quads tell me.

Make sure you carb up, a lot of stupid riders are following fad low carb diets these days and wonder why they have no energy or lack the ability to recover.
