You got a point mate its as much about a state of mind as the fitness I have learned its bad to push yourself too hard.
I had not trained hard enougth for the level of training I was doing.

Just posting to let you all know of my progress my legs appear to have cleared up so tomorrow I will be starting my training up again.
