no energy today

[gavroche]

went for a ride today but could only manage 8 miles as I was strugging all the way. Managed hills en route but all in granny gear. Dont know why really as I feel fine and dont think i am going down with something. Even a MTB was about to pass me but turned right a he was about to. Didn't want to give him the pleasure.

I usually feel like that after lots of sex. Dont worry about it, you will feel better in a week or so...

It happens now and then, probably a sign to just take it easy for a few days so your body can fully recover. Even if you havnt been doing lots of training lately, we all get the days we feel like we cant be bothered too.

You may be a little run down, or fighting off a virus. I've had times like that. And then I go out the next day and I'm feeling much better after an early night. It happens to us all I think.

I felt exactly the same way on Sunday, but forced myself to do 25 miles, and spent this week with a sore throat, aching joints and a stomach upset.

You made the right decision with stopping at eight.

And that's eight more miles than me you've done this week as a result.

I've felt like that for about a week. The commute feels like riding through treacle and I simply can't be arsed heading out on longer rides. I'm just knackered I think. The three punctures and one mechanical I've had in the last couple of weeks hasn't helped the motivation.

I blame the acupuncture I had last night. Knackered today.

I felt like this the other day i had a couple of hours spare to fit a ride in but i only managed 11 miles of a regular 20 mile route i put it down to lack of sleep
