Knee update
Its been a week of mixed news on the rehab front. On the plus side, I managed an 8 mile hillwalk on Sunday followed by a 1hr 20 min bike ride on Monday with few problems. I can run for 15 min on the treadmill and my knee feels pretty stable in general.
Less good was my latest physio update. I seem to be a bit behind on strength training, which is a result of spending too much time on the more enjoyable aerobic exercises and less time doing hundreds of dips and stretches. I get to try the Cybex machine next week to check the strength of one leg against the other, and then again a month later to see the improvement.
When I asked about the possibility of climbing by the end of October, the answer was a firm no and the comment made was that I was potentially only half way through rehab. Probably rules out any lrp fighting or caving until the end of the year..

I'll also be ultra fit due to spending about 5hrs a week in the gym!
