    Overtraining, according to my teaching at moment. Good thing to take a restie. Bad for you really.Know what it is like, did it myself. Maybe add some strength training , squats and stuff for strong quads and hams - also will up your metabolism helping along with your cardio. You want to do some ST, if you want to lose kilos, cos you will burn hard earned muscle too, unless your helping it to be put on. This will cause your metabolism to slow, making it hard to lose weight.

    Give yourself some time between rides. Hydrate. Drink lots of water. I've found that if I drink plenty of water that I don't have sore muscles or pain at all the next day. And I mean alot. Do some mild stretches before riding to warm up. Back pain could be do to riding position. Change your hand positions or fiddle with seat height, bar height, etc. That often helps solve mysterious pain.

    Keep on trying. I've lost lots of weight through cycling. I'm quite proud of how if you change your outlook, you can change your life. Don't give up.
