Yeh I promise no cycling for a few days 'til I feel it's better. Definately no activity til it stops cricking.

ice it. the cricking is swelling internally.
Do you stretch off after biking?
TBH biking is one of the better exercise to do if you have dodgy knees!

it's good for bulding up the muscles that support your cruciates and medial ligaments
not so good if you've tore them in the past aswell though :laugh:
Stretch? No but figuring I maybe should. Will give that and ice a crack
Defo, if i don;'t stretch after basketball i get messed up in the morning with all sorts of pain.

Also check your riding position. Runners need gait analysis and the correct shoes to avoid injury and I would imagine for cyclists the wrong seat height, or bike set up could also cause problems.
erm, confession time. Diet on hold again as I've just had some fish and chips. They were bloody gorgeous too even if they were home made 
Mine is all off the plan too. Meh.
No cycling the past few days, as per above. Feeling a good bit better, so if its dry tomorrw (unlikely) I might venture out again. Had a properly shitty start at work today, so ended up getting out of the building for the entire hour of lunch. Que a trip to the 'van

Not a good idea. Leave it until the end of the week at least.
Ok it's looking like Saturday before I venture out on the bike.
Relatively speaking the healthy eating is back on again. Sandwich for lunch, cereal for breakfast. Will see what the scales say at the weekend!

Very wise.
Did a 3 mile run a bit faster than I should have tonight so it may be next week before I venture out again. I have iced both shins and I may get away with it but won't know until tomorrow morning at the earliest.
I did not turn the air in the house blue when I was applying ice

Weighed myself yesterday morning...definite (I hope) weight loss. Result.
That or the scales are acting up again..
Route cause of knee trouble does indeed look like my seat is set up too low. Going to fix that later and put the bike away 'til tomorrow. Didn't remember to stretch pre-cycle, but did a quick warm-down so I reckon if I incorporate these I'll be fine. Hopefully!

Has the pain gone from your knee now?

No, not entirely.
I only went to the Duthie Park and back, very gentle run bar dodging the various idiots with prams/dogs who seem to think the whole path is theirs and theirs exclusively.

I'm not sure you should be cycling yet. Even though you've sussed how you got the injury you should still be resting it until the pain has completely gone. Google knee pain and cycling and see what the experts say.
Suppose I had better give an update of what I've been up to. Weigh in on Thursday was not good as I've put on 0.25 kilo. It just added to what was already a crap day and I wasn't impressed. There was a suggestion that I may now be building muscle with the distances I'm running but I suspect it was probably more to do with the little lapses I've had recently. I've resolved to stick with my original plan of no alcohol, crisps or chocolate Sunday to Thursday (well, tomorrow there may be booze but not too much) and keep adding distance to my runs. I've signed up for the Baker Hughes and have to start taking things seriously.

Just back from swimming, been a long time since av been in here! Been eating not too badly lately, still biking/walking to work too. Will get on the scales soon enough to see if there has been any improvement

I aint medically trained, so I can't say, but I'm just wondering if it's less knee pain and more surrounding muscle ache, due to the fact I'm excercising and my body just aint used to it.
I've behaved all week, and rather than going full pelt on a long cycle decided to take it easy. I'll monitor and see, honestly compared to this time last week the difference is chalk and cheese.
Away to have a walk round the corner to ASDA, got a few things to do in the afternoon including raising that seat a bit. All being good I might try a gentle route again tomorrow, but we'll see what the knee/legs say.
