has anyone found that is playing footy (5s or 8 a side) and alternating days with medium sized rides (8km hilly stuff) that they are getting lower stomach muscle soreness?

any ideas why?

Cheers

    Because you're working the muscles...?

    Do you mean 8km rides? If so I assume you've not been at it long/aren't that fit (without wishing to insult!), stick at it, it'll get easier and the muscles you use will get stronger!

    on and off for years i've been at it... just kinda started up again... I think it's because I may not have rested enough?

    played 6a side high pace for an hour tuesday
    cycled to and from work 10km also
    went for a 2hr ride (500metre accent approx)

    today sore lower stomach muscles....
    legs are ok though, a bit achey....
