is this normal in a warm-up and what is the remedy?

[khushy]

I track cycle 2-3 times a week - the first 5 mins on the bike is fking awful - I feel like my legs are made of lead and my body is struggling to keep up and in my mind I dont want to carry on - once through this first 5 mins, I am fine for a 3 hour session and never once feel like that again!!!

APART FROM MTFU . . . . what can I do to make my first 5 mins more "enjoyable" or is this just how it is/I am???

What's track cycling?

Edit: Just seen another post re the velodrome so I guess it's indoor cycling. Why not start with a lower (easier) gear to warm the legs up. Or do some squats or lunges or jogging on the spot.

Do a proper warm-up.

this IS the warm up - but I like the squats/off bike idea :-)
