Hey everyone, I injured my knee (ACL/MCL) 26 years ago and this past winter I decided its time to stop running (after 24 years of post-injury triathlon and trail running) and replace that with indoor rowing.
Two things in this post:
- I’m looking for others who have already made this sort of transition or are facing a similar decision. Its really hard emotionally to give up running and I’m looking for some community around this.
- I’m building an indoor rowing app specifically designed around my love of power and cadence training. Most of my cycling training the last 10+ years has been based on power and cadence targets and I’m applying what I love about that to rowing. Happy to share what I’m building with anyone who might be interested. Would love feedback!
I’m about 6 months into this transition and it’s going OK so far. But I really miss running outdoors. The physical and mental benefits from running have been hard to fully reproduce.
Thanks and hoping to connect with other!
