Cycling is not walking.
Specificity in training is the key to minimizing sport specific injuries.
The little balance muscles get exercised on uneven trails. When small muscles tire out, joints , tendons, ligaments take a pounding.
I’m a fan of “go slow to go smooth, go smooth to go far “.
Corollaries are:
Hard day, soft day.
Many overuse injuries are under recovery injuries.
Hydration helps prevent joint injuries (and the spine is a joint).
Just a few thoughts….
