35 min turbo session in the bike shed, switching a gear up every 5 min (for 20 min) and then back down for the second half.
Was testing if the knee was ok and it held up, but didn't put too much resistance on and just kept it nice and smooth.
HR Avg 138, HR Max 157
Had some trouble walking stairs though, so ice and arnica cream treatment continued.

Took the day off. Knee got slightly worse and all I did today was walk a bit. Stairs are particularly painful. Not happy about this, but nothing I can do about this now.

More fun in the bike shed on the turbo. I'm finding this quite Zen, like lane swimming, you get in the zone and the time just flies. Knee trouble contained, woke up with no pain, though it sometimes still flares up. But exercise in one plane seems to work.
10 min easy warm up spin
5x 3 min (2 gears up), 3 min easy (Max HR 160, HR rest 140)
10x (10 sec fast (gear up, 20 sec recovery) (Max HR 166)
10 min easy warm-down

Travel day. All well, I'm gonna be home tonight. :-)
