Overtraining

A foam roller is a self-myofascial release tool that cyclists can use to temporarily improve range of motion and reduce how sore their legs feel, but it doesn’t fix overuse injuries, poor bike fit, or pain that needs proper assessment. In plain English, it can help you move and feel a bit better, which is useful, but it’s not a magic wand for recovery.

You can tell a lot about a cyclist by how they talk about being tired. Some say it with a shrug. Some say it with a quiet sense of pride. And some say it with that hollow-eyed determination of a rider who has been pretending their legs will magically bounce back tomorrow.
