sore legs, then knees
So I started at a higher cadence... and ran for the whole 17 at a higher cadence, hopefully in the right way but for the next day following, my thighs were far more sore than even when I started on my bike by mashing. Then as night approached my knees started to ache for awhile, bad enough that I needed to pop some ibuprofin. They're feeling a lot better today, like a couple days later, but would the soreness just mean I over did it on my Sunday ride?? I was starting to pull up on the back stroke with the straps around my shoes in addition to pushing down with the opposite leg so I wasn't sure if what I was doing was right... but it seemed to help me carry a high cadence a lot better. I counted for a timed minute and came out to about 85... which I tried hard to carry out the whole ride... anyways, I'm feeling a lot better now, still a tad sore- but tempted to go for an easy ride today or go play tennis with a pal..
