Legs won't work

[Peteaud]

Out for my normal weekend ride today and the les just dont want to know. Although i dont feel unwell i do think i am a bit rundown.

Anyone got any remidies to get a bit more energy without munching sugar or caffeine?

 

[lukesdad]

Rest.

 

[Peteaud]

but i find resting is boring, hate being stuck indoors (i work indoors all week so i have to get out)

 

[lukesdad]

Whats got you rundown ?

 

[Peteaud]

Dont know, mental pressure at work maybe, or perhaps i am coming down with something.

Sometimes I find it helps to forget about speed/distance and just pootle: that way I'm still out and about on the bike in the fresh air but I'm still giving my legs a break.

Oh, and cake always helps

Yes - but Mr Kipling and I are no longer on speaking terms since i went on the "cut out the cr*p" diet

 

[coffeejo]

No no no no no no no no! I said CAKE! not polystyrene.

+1!

Cake is a healer of all things.

If you need to get out though, like already said, pootle. But there's a lot of viruses going about too. Go get a lovely load of fresh fruit and binge the lot!

A quote from 'the Cyclists Training Bible by Joe Friel' ...... "Train hard-rest harder".

They were the last four words in the epilogue and, perhaps, the most important four words in the book.

Sardine’s on dry wholemeal bread, will run you at 29 mph for 15 miles. The down side is you will need a wife and two girl fiends, to cope with your extra activates. But I think that’s a small price to pay for a big raise: in you average speed!
