In my great (lack of) wisdom, I thought arbitrarily bumping up my run volume to last season's high (50mpw) from roughly 20mpw in the matter of two weeks was a fantastic idea.
Well, now I've been dealing with a sore knee for the past two weeks. I thought some time off from running and only riding would help it. It doesn't necessarily hurt when I'm riding (I did an FTP test yesterday and felt fine throughout the entire workout), but I have noticed that when I get done, it starts to hurt and generally gets worse throughout the day, even sitting down for the majority. It's not excruciating pain in the least, but it's definitely enough for me to know that I shouldn't be running on it.
What do the resident ST "doctors" say? I make a half-assed effort to stay consistent with rolling/stretching/strengthening, but it never really sticks. Ideally, I think it's from my severe lack of flexibility and lack of glute/quad/hamstring strength... Should I just do a swim block and focus on stretching/strengthening? Should I ride?
