I don't normally cycle, but when I do, I cycle for 2 weeks. I have a cheap mountain bike from Target or Walmart. It's nothing special. I'm not concerned with speed, just effort. I ride for an hour at what I think is an "Easy" effort, which in running, is up to the maximum effort you can still hold a normal conversation with someone without being out of breath. I probably should check my heart rate on my easy runs and just target that on my rides but I haven't. Question- is it normal for my legs to feel like jello afterward? I remember feeling this way last year and being concerned enough to hold back every couple days. What's normal for fatigue with cycling?
