Yes it does. Generally that "sore" feeling is lactic acid buildup. As you become more fit, your body produces less LA at the same exertion level. If you change the exertion level or the type of exertion, that adaption won't be as complete.

Distance runners that start doing speed work generally find this out in a big hurry.
