I have noticed that in my training my 2nd workout of the day, usually 10-12 hours after my morning workout, that my legs are just heavy to pick up.
What is weird is I feel great. Like today... I did 90 minutes on the trainer at 80% FTP inside a 1:45 workout. I felt great. Right now, I feel great. I'm excited about running this afternoon. But, when I standup my legs are hard to lift to take a step.
Yesterday I did 2x30 @ 85% FTP inside a 90 minute session. Felt great and excited all day about my evening run but legs were super heavy. Could only run 5 miles instead of my 6 miles that I planned all because of my legs.
They aren't sore, just heavy.
Is this nutrition based? If so, what should I do to be recovered. Mentally I love the training, but I don't always have the legs.
This happens regardless of running or biking in the morning session.
