I believe you are on the right track, but the more you tell him you are right, the less likely he will try your idea of resting.
Let him do what ever he wants to do, even though it sucks to watch him in pain. Wait for him to ask for advice before you give it, and he might just follow your suggestions.0 -
My husband just did a 100 mile ride today - in the highlands of Scotland!
During his few months of training we realised that he needed more fuel during his rides in order to be OK when he finished. Therefore (to the amusement of 'serious' riders, sure) he used a very large camelback (4litres) but filled with a carb/electrolyte liquid mix, rather than plain water. He also took several snickers bars!
He is a pretty serious runner, so his legs are used to endurance distances - but cycling requires the use of different muscles. He ached pretty hard until he made sure he was getting enough nutrients *during* his rides.0 -

I think he should rest, eat more and drink more water. Also go for a nice massage.0

my hubby is the same way, he is a Marine (in the army now) and as he approaches 40 he realizes, I can't do the same things or eat the same way I use to and get away with it, lol0
