I’m a healthy 33 year old. Run regularly without problems. Workout in the gym regularly- in good shape. Never suffer injuries athletically, to be honest, prior to this early 2nd ride cycling knee problem. Based on everyone’s experience, do you think this is just an early on overuse problem? Perhaps did I just push it too hard to try and keep up with this group on a 60 mile ride when I basically had never really cycled before?
how long do you think until I am able to start training again pain free? And should I just completely stop riding the bike for a while or should I keep training at low levels until I feel better? I’m out riding around my neighborhood today and it definitely still hurts. I’m fine to sprint up and down the streets and ride fast but I just feel a little bit of discomfort in the left knee (inside). Not enough to stop at all but just something there - but definitely bad enough that if I were to go on that long ride again I would be completely screwed...
