At your height and weight, I'd say that you've got massive lung capacity, but very little muscle. This means you can easily overdrive your muscles before you're even winded. So some strength training would help you not tax your muscles so much and you'll be fully recovered by the next day and ready to go. You can try weight-training in the gym once a week and do one day of sprints and one day of anaerobic intervals on the bike. Within about a month, you won't have the residual soreness the next day.
