When you have consistently heavy legs, do easy runs help cure them more rapidly?
Because this week my legs have constantly felt heavy....to be specific my strides/minute like 130-140 rpm while just a week before I averaged around 180-190. And My 1200x3 repeat times have fallen from an average of 3:45 to a 4:10-4:15.
130-140rpm? That is essentially bounding. That'd give anyone heavy legs if done repeatedly.
Sleep as much as you can.
If you don't lift weights, and aren't at the end of your competitive season, starting lifting once you aren't in the red anymore. Just 2 or 3 key lifts a few times per week to work the muscles in your legs that see the eccentric contraction. Specifically, the quads/hip flexors, calves, outer glutes and lower back.
