Soccer has really paid off in that my endurance has greatly improved. I have recently noticed that when I am playing my legs seem to get sore before I am phsyically out of breathe. This also happenend on the recumbent bike in the gym. I was wondering why this is occuring. Shouldn't I be out of breahte before the soreness? Is it a mental thing and I just need to push myself through the soreness?

I got a pair with a good arch support. Also, are you stretching enough prior to the cardio? -------------- A broken clock is right twice a day

Does anyone know any sites were I could learn about which stretches to do. There are many of them I know and it's always good to learn new ones. I'll check this site to see if there is any information.
