Knee Arthritis Pivoting to Swim/Bike/Row

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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!
