Like the start of most Zwift races, lol!
Muscle exertion and minor strain, in my case. Can be 5-15mins transient. Like any strain, however, it can last awhile if severe enough. (ie, pulled hamstring, which can take a few months to fully heal; abdominal/diaphragm/chest muscles can get similarly strained.)
Agreed, than 60mins of aches, from such a thing, would be a rarity. Altogether likely to be something else, in the OP's case, if experiencing regular 1hr aches following such workouts. Could
easily be heart/flow related problem.
