I noticed after 2 weeks of doing this that I'm physically exhaused, and had to spend most of Sunday sleeping. I'm a young dude, and in ok-ish shape so I didn't think this would be an issue. The area I live is very hilly.

My question- how long is your commute and how often do you take days off? Do you ever worry about over-use injuries? Is it something you get used to over time?

Thanks!
