This year I started taking cycling seriously and took on structured training. I improved dramatically and all went well until it didnt. I believe that I wrecked myself doing a few very hard and very long sessions. My current situation is as follows: My last proper ride was in October. It was a 205km solo effort at the end of a 860tss week. It broke me. I was tired that following week but nothing too bad. I waited for my legs to feel better but it never happened. Every ride thereafter was chilled but my legs would need a week to get back to feeling normal. I am now completely off the bike because even a Sunday stroll down the street would cause my legs to feel as sore and heavy as if I had done a 150km ride the previous day. I wake up with very sore muscles and as they warm up it gets better until the evening when it really starts hurting again ( all the cycling muscles are affected, quads, ITB, inner thighs, glutes). This is pretty depressing and I am just not recovering. So the question. Do I need to see a doctor / sports physician? And who would be best to help me through this ( prefferably in Pretoria). Thanks!
