Do anyone elses legs constantly ache? I've been riding 30mile a day commute 3 times a week for a couple of years, doing a couple of 10mile runs twice a week or so, few rest days in between,

Had a lot of rest days lately as were moving house so not much time to be out on the bike, thing is after over a week of rest they still feel hammered – is this normal?

I sometimes find when I do nothing I stiffen up and feel worse than if I carry on and take it easy.

They just kind of tingle and feel a bit drained rather than stiffness,
fair point though, I usually just ignore any aches and pains and carry on.

When I was doing much more riding earlier this year, my legs ached constantly.

I like to think of it as a small price to pay for having so much fun.

been a few threads about this recently.

compression tights/socks
recovery drinks (rego etc)

help stop DOMS

foam roller is a cheap alternative to a deep tissue massage.

all of the above help stop the dead legs feeling.
