6 months out of the saddle due to other commitments, and not really missed it that much to be fair, winter and spring here weren't great in the UK. Roll on an epic summer and my maiden voyage back on the Heckler, and i'm madly in love and addicted to cycling again! The passion has been reignited like someone putting gasoline on a fire :madmax:
Was looking over my Strava results earlier, i've only been riding again for approx 3 weeks
Heres a half mile run towards the end of my ride, I genuinely struggled when I first got back in the saddle, and pushed up a lot of hills, and found maintaining good speed was a real chore, legs burning, lactic acid build up, heart rate through the roof, breathing heavy, just no stamina or power whatsoever :shock: I'd even get worst results on consecutive rides! I'm now finding loads more power on tap, huge stamina improvements, I feel like i'm seeing 3 months of progress in as little as 3 weeks!
Anyone else have stories of epic passion and fitness rekindling after a break?
