My legs are really sore and achy for days after the big days, even with two rest days and stretching and massage and hot tubs.
I'm eating 150g of protein per day (1.5g per kilogram of body weight).
advice welcomed. Antifreeze comments will not be replied to.

You should ice if you feeling sore. You will feel refreshed in the morning. But If you are feeling a sharp pain then take a hot bath as hot as you can stand it for at least 15 min. Then ice for 15 mins and repeat if you can. The sharp pain won’t be as bad
