Equus123, thank you for you suggestions. I do believe sprinting in class is what caused the problem. I don't cycle in to winter and we moved to a new town last summer. I didn't have any classes to teach, so I started taking classes at a local gym. I never did the zero resistance super fast sprints before. My body immediately said NO! But I just had to beat myself into submission. I have always found things out the hard way.

I understand training those fast twitch muscles, but I never taught anything in my class that wouldn't be taken from the road. To some extent, the two aren't enough alike to really mimic a road ride.

Is the Stick similar to a foam roller. I have one I used on my hamstring after an injury last year. Ouch, it is a bit painful, but it reall worked out the kinks.

I believe I am on the road to recovery, I am so glad I caught it before it started to effect my running as well.
