I have hardly ridden bikes in the last 12 months due to a extremely busy schedule.
I have recently got back onto a roadie to ride to work, its a aweful old Giant Kronos, but it works.
I realize I am totally un bike-fit and smashed my self a few time trying to hop up gutters on the roadie,
but me knees oh god my knees, work is only a few Kms away with a decent hill in the middle. I have tried every way of climbing it but my knees are constantly wrecked,
went for a ride on the hardtail through some single track, again my knees were shot.
So I'm looking for some off bike training and possibly diet tips to improve the way my body is handling the riding.
My calves are also wasted 90% of the time as my work has me standing and walking around alot. again diet /off bike training tips to try and get them feeling at least OK some of the time.
also thought i should add, Im riding flats, so poor cleat position isnt a factor
