Hurty knees? - Newbie question!

You need to change to a fucking massive gear. Something like 53x11, and 53x12 in the Winter.

It's a well known fact that peripheral tendon fibres in the patella region (both medial and lateral) generate fastest at cadences of less than 40rpm, particularly with a cashew-rich diet.

What a load of bollocks! It's pistachios.

The research has shown, time and time again, that it's cashews for the knees, and pistachios for increasing VO2 max. Then there's macadamias for lactate threshold, Brazils for anaerobic work, and hazelnuts for zone 2 endurance stuff.

Your researchers were obviously paid peanuts.
