Hi all,

I have started riding again after a 3 month break. I noticed that I am nowhere near my pre-winter pace. You might think that's normal but:

- I have kept running all winter (3x per week)
- I have lost around 9 kilos.

My running performance is constantly increasing, I have better VO2Max and less weight. I notice a serious drop in the cadence. I was easily spinning 90-95 rpm before but now I can sustain max 85 rpm for a short period and I'm quickly out of breath.

Is this a muscle issue? Did anyone experience anything like it?
