Me? Lungs, I'm asthmatic. I have kiwi farmers legs, 25% is the easy slopes :)
Realised after I'd posted it could have looked facetious - not intended.

For me, I have always struggled with getting enough oxygen - whether (trying to) run or do any other significant exercise. Yet never had anything to indicate asthma.

For me it's a bit of both and depends on how I feel on the day. On a good day my legs will outdo my lungs but On a bad day they won't. When my lungs tell me stop or die I can rest then carry on but when my legs call time then that's it..
I fully understand what you are saying. First few days of cycling, my legs were definitely complaining. Now, the legs have improved enormously, but I have had the odd stop on a steep hill to recover.
