Good advice Robert. I used to train my legs in the gym all the time, but now I use cycling as my strength training and conditioning.

The Guru has spoken, folks. Guess I need to bite the bullet and give that ice bath a try.

I find that ice baths are the best as are after ride compression tights. Of course massage and all of the rollers (self Torture) are great but Ice is the best for me.

Basically the why is because gluten is an inflammatory, so when you eat gluten your body is fighting the inflammation that it induces and isn’t helping your body recover.

I have found that strength/power training will help reduce the chance of sore legs after cycling. Squats, single leg squats, split squats, lunges, burpees, etc. However, these probably will cause sore legs after the strength training! But you want some of that, as it means the muscles are reacting to the training and will get bigger/stronger (make sure to eat enough protein to build the muscles.) The soreness rarely lasts more than a day unless you really go overboard, and as your legs get stronger you’ll have fewer and fewer days on the bike where your legs get sore, even on long rides. That’s my experience.

Thanks again for sharing your tip and how to create this. People should know that your twitter ID is @TheGreatLakes. I’ve also included the picture of your roller stick that you put up on Twitter today.

Sorry Vitaly, I read tights but was thinking socks. I guess that would help a lot better with your thighs. I personally don’t find my calves tighten up so the tights are probably a better choice.

No, no, not socks. Tights, like all the way up with a string that ties around my waistline . But frankly, I haven’t tried just the socks by themselves, so they might serve just as good of a purpose.
