I suppose the title says it all, did 60 miles today faster than normal as I was keeping up with a stronger training partner so I was already in some discomfort before tackling the hills.
I am used to being dropped and catching up on the flat/descent as I am quite heavy, but after 3 tough hills in quick succession my thighs were screaming at me. So I got out of the saddle and they screamed even worse (I swear my entire quad muscle cramped at the bottom of my stroke).
I got over that totally wrecked and caught up but that was me finished after than any sort of incline and my thighs would burn ans I could barely push the pedals.
Even over an hour later my legs were burning on inclines but I was holding 22 mph on flat sections for long periods. I felt like such a chump struggling up roads that weren't even steep at ridiculous slow speeds
I normally climb slower than fast guys but never that slow it's like I did something to my legs and that was it they were gone and I could not get them back.
What do I do?
