Riddle me this, Knee thread...
After track on Saturday, and then Monday last week my knees ached all week, so I laid off riding and just did some stretching... But they still hurt. I waited, but no results, so feeling a bit on edge I did a 55minute turbo session (3x10 min threshold efforts, around 95rpm with a proper warm up /down) before I went away for the weekend. Haven't experienced any knee pain since.
It's something that I have experienced before (last time was probably 18months ago, before having a cleat fitting with scherrit): knees hurting when I'm off the bike for a week. Is this just my knees adjusting to track cadences? My normal riding cadence is between 90-100rpm whereas I seem to be anywhere between 100-170ish on the track.
