29/04/13 - Turbo Session Start week with a quality turbo session but a big but.. on the power reps I felt a "tweak" in my knee, not a good tweak either. It hurt and made me stop in my tracks, I could feel a niggle through the remainder of the session, I hadnt felt a pain like that since I ruptured my knee ligaments about 10 years ago. I hope its nothing to serious... The set was 15 warm up 15 Max reps (1 min on 1 min off) 5 warm down Session Details Duration 00:50:00 Distance 11 Miles 30/04/13 - Rest Day 01/05/13 - Rest Day 02/05/13 - Turbo Session Low resistance spin, as the knee still doesn't feel right after 2 days away from any strain.
