Hello Veterans,
I’ve been riding MTB, but I fell in love with road bike and had to switch. Before I talk about my problems, I’d like to give you my background.
I’m a 20 yr old, 160 lbs, and 6-foot male. I’m from Korea and also a college student (2nd year). Since I came to college I’ve been running a lot, but I’ve noticed that it’s very hard on my body. So, I’ve been biking since then. I’m in decent shape. I run 10k in 40 mins (maybe under 40). and I enjoy playing many other sports.
I’ve been training for a month and I’ve been riding the same loop everyday except 4 days off from spring break. It’s a 20-mile loop. It takes me about an hour. It’s about 30 mins of climbing and 20 mins of flat and 10 mins of downhill.
The problem is, I have burning quads since last week, and it seems like there is nothing I can do about it. Pain hits me after riding about 10 mins and I have to ride in pain. It’s a good lesson but I’d like to get rid of this. Also I tore my hamstring 2 years ago, so I can’t put a lot of pressure on my hamstring.
Any advices welcome.. Thank you!
