Post climb and ride wiped out

[Sa Calobra]

Didn't feel bothered about riding today but did.

Went up a fairly steep climb and I was out of the saddle the whole way and my lower quads burnt like crazy. Really suffered.

Post ride now I feel like I've hit the deck.

Is it just a combo of things?

I've noticed recently that my legs aren't strong at all.

I'm not fluey. Lots of coughing at work but I'm 100% compared

Are you taking Statins? If so then weakening of the legs and/or aching can be one of the side effects.

I was prescribed them after my heart attack 4 years ago, within a couple of weeks I could barely stand, they were changed to a different make and all was well for about 6 months then my legs started to ache so I have been off them since then.

Since then my father came off his as his legs were getting weak , same for my father in law (both in their 90s)

In fact pretty much everyone I have spoken to that take Statins has admitted to some level of leg pain/weakness.

Have you been over doing training?

How does running up stairs feel?

Take a couple or three days off and see how it feels

"Lots of coughing at work" tells me something IS wrong with you in spite of what you think.
