so i'm curious in other's routines...if you have a week where you are getting a lot of riding in...do you also add a day or two of lower body weight training?
i typically have gone to the gym for both cardio and weights, but now that i'm riding i definitely feel it in my legs when i ride. AND i'm usually out there 1.5 - 2 hours each any time i ride...so i am getting my cardio.
i continue to go to the gym 1 - 2x for upper body weight training and core training.
the one time i DID a lower body training session, the next day i went for a ride and found it not only a little harder to ride, but my legs were sore for much longer of a time. should i push myself like that and eventually the pain will diminish...or let the ride be my leg session?
