hi guys, i'm now back into mtbing after a 3 yrs absence, in this 3 yrs i have gained 3stone in weight! I am on a strict diet and have lost 1.5 stone. I bought a mtb 3 weeks ago and have been out quite a few times each time returning exhausted with burning muscles after pushing it a bit harder each time,my question is how long does it take till riding gets any easier I seem to have forgotten!!!!!

thanks

Depends...what do you do? do you sit in an office or are you a manual(hard) worker?..;)...what other training do you do? do you get up and go runnibg/training before work?...it all depends on you really, but not too long if you get into some sort of regime...just ride...lots...;)

Remember to recover fully! Rest is just as important.
