Hi, I've been cycling for roughly a whole year now mainly for pleasure just started commuting 5 mile's each way I've got a light bike so there's no problem with weight.
After cycling for that time my fitness has obviously improved a lot but I just cant seem to get any faster, As soon as I start pushing the Lactic Acid starts building up and just slows me down again.
The longest ride I've been on would be a 40mile with a group and even struggled with that couldn't keep up with the group because of the Acid.
Every time I go up any hills no matter the size or the gradient I can feel it building up, Am I just pushing too hard too soon?.
Is there anything anybody would recommend to reduce the build up or even stop my legs from producing as much so quickly?.
