This may sound stupid to some of you, but I gotta ask...what does lactic acid buildup in your muscles feel like?
The reason I ask is because I'm not sure if I've ever had it. I do hard rides sometimes, and my muscles feel sore in the evenings sometimes, but I always figured it was just muscle soreness. I have noticed, though, that doing a light recovery ride that same evening after a hard ride during the day makes me feel better.
So have I been experiencing lactic acid buildup? Or not? How do you know?
