It's a rest week in the 'ol training plan. Normally it's needed mentally and physically. I'm actually feeling pretty strong and solid and all of that, so I rode with a little more intensity earlier in the week.
The last couple of days, though, have been all about rest. Recovery, too. For about a week or so, my left knee has been a little angry; a little irritated.
I think I may have found the culprit, too: stretching. I've been focusing on flexibility and core strength, given my back issues. And while I wouldn't say I've been aggressive in my stretching, it has been done regularly.
Of course, for the previous 33 years of my life, I've been doing no stretching whatsoever. So some hamstring stretches on a semi-daily basis ... yeah, that'd do it. The pain in my knee is consistent with that type of stretch.
So today was an easy spin on the trainer and some core work that didn't involve the hamstrings. I'll probably do the same thing tomorrow and hopefully get out on Sunday. If not, I'll live.
On Monday, finally, we get to real workouts.
