Winded, in my legs?

[RoadRaven]

Like Eden, my first thought was lactate build-up...

But also, what is your recovery between rides like?

Sometimes if I have ridden hard the day before and then gone out for another challenging ride the following day, my legs have not fully recovered and they feel a range of things... sometimes one, sometimes several...

- like mud
- crampy
- empty and hollow
- unresponsive
- "hungry"

With me, these are caused by one of two things (and probably sometimes both at the same time)... insufficient recovery (which includes rest, liquid and fuel) or accumulated lactic acid...

Good luck with identifying the cause and "managing" your legs
