Started this week off as I meant to go on. A fourty five minute run followed by a one hour spin session on the bike was just the start I needed. Once again the knee problem was present but not a big problem.
Tuesday was Pilates day and when ever possible I ride to and from pilates on the bike, as quickly as I can to get the heart racing. Nice light gears and spin very fast.
Wednesday saw me doing some running drills to improve technique and therefor speed. I topped this off with a similar set on the turbo trainer to improve my bike skills. I've been riding bikes for years yet I'm learning so much at the moment simply because I'm analyzing every peddle stroke. All I'm learning about running however is that I need to rest my knee more. The problem isn't getting worse but it's not getting any better either. So I've decided to stay off the running for yet another week in the hope that it improves.
A nice longish ride on Thursday blew away any cobwebs and gave me a chance to practice what I've learned.
Got some aero TT bars for the bike and fitted them before my ride on the weekend. They are going to take some getting used to. I've not found the comfort spot for me just yet, but I'll keep making small changes untill I do.
