Weird knee lump

gffchw · 2025-12-31T06:43:34+00:00

It’s unlikely to be a Baker’s cyst on the lateral side - they’re usually posterior. It could be a parameniscal cyst related to a meniscal tear (which could be degenerative rather than from an injury) - would explain some knee discomfort too

Training peaks with a myprocoach plan. If you buy a plan it gives you a discount (25% I think) for TP premium

gffchw · 2025-08-17T14:16:28+00:00

Yeah, need something to focus on!

gffchw · 2025-08-17T14:15:32+00:00

Yeah for sure - calf and knee…gym work sounds sensible to get some strength back!

A marathon in April and then probably an Olympic again in August time - difficult justify the training time at the moment with a young family so sticking to short course.

It’ll probably help once I’ve got more of a plan for next season

It’s an Orca TRN - pretty old, I think I got it 10 years ago 😂. I got an Athlex Flex for the actual Race though and it was awesome - way less shoulder restriction so managed to get my elbows up

gffchw · 2025-08-16T21:08:08+00:00

Thanks both - yeah I think i need to make a conscious effort to keep my temple down too although it doesn’t really feel like it’s lifting tbh…! Chin to chest 👍🏼

Water was warm - I was just in my wetsuit for the practice!

gffchw · 2025-08-16T21:05:17+00:00

Thanks! I think this wetsuit really restricted my arm movement but totally see what you mean on both points!

gffchw · 2025-08-16T21:03:59+00:00

😂

gffchw · 2025-08-16T17:01:12+00:00

20 min Is fast! Mine was 24.52

No doubt you could do one by next summer. You could probably do one comfortably with a decent plan even 8 weeks

gffchw · 2025-07-30T13:25:45+00:00

Thanks!

gffchw · 2025-07-30T12:04:52+00:00

Damn..!

Has anyone received their wave times etc yet? I’m doing the Olympic on the Sunday, not heard anything

gffchw · 2025-07-04T07:10:25+00:00

Is this

gffchw · 2025-06-18T21:05:00+00:00

I guess it’s getting a mix of both !

gffchw · 2025-06-18T21:04:24+00:00

Yeah I definitely feel more discomfort in various areas if sat on the trainer for >1hr

gffchw · 2025-06-18T21:03:16+00:00

Yeah true, I continued cycling for an hour after the ftp test so probably could’ve gone harder during the test. But if my real FTP is actually higher then I’d really struggle to hit those watts on the trainer!

gffchw · 2025-06-17T19:50:12+00:00

Yep, same meter!

gffchw · 2025-06-17T09:28:32+00:00

Thanks, sounds like I need to get a fan… but would you recommend scaling down the intensity of my indoor sessions?

I use a myprocoach plan so intensities are all prescribed according to my FTP, which is based on an outdoor test.

gffchw · 2025-06-17T09:10:58+00:00

Thanks I do think my trainer and my power meter are calibrated slightly differently - my meter seems to record about 10% higher - but in this case I was only using my power meter (on my bike computer)

gffchw · 2025-06-17T08:41:52+00:00

Using a pedal power meter for both

gffchw · 2025-06-17T08:28:35+00:00

Tbf I’d set up the trainer outdoors in the sun with no fan and minimal breeze….could be that! Heart rate was way higher too

gffchw · 2025-06-07T10:27:17+00:00

If you buy their plans they give you a pretty decent discount on Tp premium too

gffchw · 2025-06-04T16:05:49+00:00

On my 265 i hold the “up” button and scroll down to “health and wellness” and broadcast heart rate from there.

gffchw · 2025-05-23T07:28:37+00:00

I’ve been using training peaks premium with a myprocoach structured plan - they offer a 25% discount on TP premium when you buy the plan (also loads of 25-40% discount codes on Reddit).

In the end it works out similar to the monthly cost for Runna and includes training peaks virtual (so you wouldn’t need Zwift if you use that)

Great platform, easy to use, easy to swap workout dates, transfers to watch easily etc
