Just as a follow up. Stopped medication and had no issues today on the trainer and running. Is it due to medication or just that I feel better in general? I don’t know. The next cold will come and I will report back.

I am lazy I basically drag my legs behind me with a two beat flutter 😂 so this might be the reason, yes.

I feel more tired but I relate it to the cold/sickness symptoms rather than my thighs. It hasn’t gotten worse with me at least. I have symptoms for a couple of days until the sickness is away and then can slowly increase load to the muscles. I will try again tomorrow. Funnily enough, I could...

With me it's not limited to riding. I went on the foam roller this morning (meaning applying pressure to the thigh muscles) and the pain started creeping up almost immediately. Genetics may play a role but I haven't found the SNP`s that may cause it and I have access to genetic testing and...

Yes the last two days actually. There is one thing both times have in common: I suffered from a cold. While I didn’t stop training this time as the cold wasn’t too bad, I tried running yesterday and when experiencing pain hopped on the trainer. Pain again. So maybe for me the issue is being...

I just came back from vacation and hopped on the trainer. 90 min Z2, no issues. Only thing I changed is that I went lower on carbs and didn't take creatine. I would like to think however that creatine has nothing to do with it, rather the carbs.

I wouldn’t say it was because of creatine as storages would have been not depleted at all after this short time. I just slowly increased training and stretched when the pain started to creep up. After three days no issues anymore at all.

I stopped it now for two weeks. To be fair, the problems went away after three days and haven’t come back. I am a bit concerned however, as I am currently on vacation and while I go for a run and the occasional gym every now and then it will be “interesting” to see how things are going once...

Quick update. I went for an easy run this morning. 30mins fine, pain started to ramp up afterwards. Stretched and it was fine for a couple of minutes. Repeatedly stretched and ran until I got home. Maybe I was too optimistic after yesterdays ride that its gone...

I know, yes. Hope I am fine for this time. To your last question, living in Switzerland Europe.

Shortly after writing the above, I thought I may try my luck and hop on the trainer. Pain started to creep up after 4 mins, as soon as I felt the slightest pain, I stopped and stretched the legs. I repeated this game for the next 10 mins and started to wait a bit longer until I stretch and see...

Joining the list of sufferers... Currently experiencing it for the first time in my life. 41y old, coming of a two month block of 20-25h/week. Triathlete. Same symptoms as everyone. Thighs feel like they will explode, like a massive lactic acid build up. I experience it even walking the dog...
