Felt really tired in my legs today on the way home from work, struggling to get much above 10 mph on inclines I would normally do around 14-15 mph, plus felt the need to freewheel down every hill, even the smaller ones. Average was 14.6 mph, which is the lowest ever for a commute home (it is a net descent, normal average is 16.5-17 mph). It is really odd as I had a rest day on Sunday which is the first time I have rested fully on Sunday for several weeks. Aren't you supposed to feel better after a rest? I'm hoping I feel better tomorrow, it is only Tuesday today and there are three more commutes until the weekend. At least next weekend I get an extra day off.
The only thing that was really different last weekend was that Saturday was a really full day with a 5:30am start to help marshal a local TT. Other than that, everything else has been normal, eating habits are unchanged from the week before, when I felt much stronger; the previous Sunday I had done a ten mile walk and 34 mile round trip on the bike and managed to cycle to work the rest of the week no problem.
Hope it is a temporary blip.
