I happened to have about half an hour spare yesterday evening, so jumped on the rollers for a high cadence session. I managed to get well over 100 revs for a change, and maintained it until duty called and I had to go and fetch the Chinese. At least I could justify the extra calories!
After Monday's sore knee, I'm favouring cycling over running this week, I can't risk that knee getting worse although I don't want to rest it completely. I might get half an hour this evening if by better half doesn't need attention.
This morning, the intention was to do 1.25hrs on the rollers so I set the alarm 15mins earlier than normal. Alas, my sit bones couldn't stand it (sit it) so I gave up after the hour. I didn't put any cream on prior to the ride, so next time I need to do that to see if it helps. Tried standing up to relieve that area, but as usual struggled to balance and the only way I could support my weight without over balancing was to stand with slightly bent legs which was difficult to say the least. I guess that's where a static trainer would be better than rollers, although I would expect a static to be even more boring than rollers.
One thing I have been doing is taking my laptop down to the bike shed and watching various films to make the time pass. I had a copy of The Armstrong Lie' to watch this morning, and so far (half way through it) it's not bad, although there have been no new revelations that I didn't already know. I'll give you my critical review when I've finished it.
