    Yea I thought riding everyday at first was good, I thought I'd recovered by the next, well it sure turned out to be wrong, I started to wonder why I was not getting any better eventually, then I took a week or so off and did a 37mile loop round Manchester area and averaged nearly 20mph and that told me rest is important.

    It is good, you just have to give your body time to adapt to riding every day.

    Apparently, if it happens a lot, days after the training, which i'm showing signs of, it could be "super-fast-twitch" muscle fibres which are rare and only present in the very best of sprinters.


    Cav better watch himself then eh?

    No. Even if I do have them, it's only an indication that I should perhaps specialize in sprinting, it's not an easy free-pass to sprinter-ville.

    ... I occasionally get a similar twitch in my eyelids....
    i'm training more of the fast-twitch muscle fibres associated with sprinting,

    I didn't realise fast twitch eyelids were important to cycling! How do you train your eyelids up to superblink speed then, you winking at everyone you pass?

    dammit, you've got me at it now! :wink::wink::wink:

    You can give up the hills most of the time then can't you.

    How long does it take? I must have being at it for 4 or so months and then I stopped improving and performance dropping untill I decided to rest.
