Use it or lose it. Not arf

I have a similar thing every year. As winter approaches I stop cycling outside and go to the gym where I can do 45 minute spinning classes. Then as spring comes along I head out onto the roads again. However, for the initial few weeks in the spring my body starts complaining at about the 1 hour mark, since I have spent the last 4-5 months stopping at 45 mins. 2-3 weeks later its all back to normal where I can just keep going forever as long as I have something to eat every 25 miles or so.

After some sort of flu-like bug that left my with knees made of glass for late Feb and early March, only today I'm starting to get back within ~10% of my 5min VO2 max numbers from early Feb.

But things are improving, I'm starting to compete a little bit in the Zwift Insider Tiny Races and stage 6 TT for Zwift Games went better than expected earlier this week, onwards and upwards... Just in time for improved weather outdoors for the coming week!
