Pain

Soup said:

I am an overweight unfit returnee yesterday I cycled up
the local hills (Pentlands), for those that know the area
I cycled from Balerno to Glencorse and back, via a flint
/crushed stone path thing and today my thighs are
screaming in agony .

You don't say what kind of agony? Muscle-pain or chafing?

I'm an overwieght unfit beginner. Some of the worst
pain I have had was tailbone injury before I learned to
sit properly.

Eh??? Call me old fashioned and traditional, when I sit on a
bike I put my bum on the seat and, errrrrr, that's about it.
Works for me...

Sorry about that was muscle pain, mostly gone now after
another shower and some gentle exercising.think it was just
a lactic acid build up (didn't warm down properly).

She didn't say it was caused by sitting on a bike ;-)
(Oh, and insertion of an 'h' in the right place is
interesting, too.)

Hmm, I have a slightly different problem. Having progressed
from an unfit beginner to, I suppose, a reasonably fit
regular commuter cyclist whose speed has gradually
increased over the years, I now find that it seems the only
way to get faster is going to involve pain of the searing
lungs, throbbing heart and lactic acid aching of thighs
variety. I have always ridden at the limit of what was
'comfortable' for me, albeit that as I got fitter that
became faster, but now I don't think more is possible
without willingness to undergo pain. It may have to be.
