Burning lungs
My legs are hurting my lungs.
Now that I can keep a good constant speed, my lungs are burning. I had to slow a bit today, my legs felt great but my lungs weren’t. Brings back memories of long road rides and trying to keep up with a fast group of riders. It’s a shame we lose fitness, I’ll just have to ride longer and more often.
MTB: distance 17.27 miles, average speed 14.3 mph.
Charlotte, NC
Spent 10 years in Charlotte, a block away from an entrance to the McAlpine Creek Greenway.
Switched to a mountain bike from the road bikes I was accustomed to riding for 15 years.
The time spent on these trails was most appreciated.
