I train with a racer (I dont race yet) who is in Pro level shape at 41 years old yet is is alway sgetting sick. Once I heard his weight training routines I realzied he was not getting enough recovery. The reason Pros use drugs is not to perform better, it is to recover so they can hammer their bodies the next day and the next. Older athletes need an extra day of recover (light work or none) to be able to hammer again. NEVER do 2 hard workouts back to back, even young bodies need to recover. YOu get better not with the training you did today, its the recovering you did after wards. :-)(Good luck,Michael My friend,all the answers are correct if you are allowing one simple thing…REST AND RECOVERY.

I commute to work about 21 miles round trip on a road bike. My feet start going numb sometimes 1 mile into my ride. Other days I'll go the 7 miles with no numbness. I can handle the numbness in the summer but in the winter, the cold mixed with numbness...Ouch! I keep my shoes semi loose at the toes, concentrate on spinning/using up-stroke, but no consistent relief. I wonder if the problem is the pedal/shoe. Should I be using the more standard cleats such as the SPD-SL on a road bike? Are SPD cleats specific to mtn bikes or are they interchangeable? I don't want to buy new shoes/pedals and still get foot numbness. Numb in Glen Burnie Maryland My LBS suggested I get Shimano SPD pedals since I was new to clipless.
