The good news is that the PT is working, I am on a 90 minutes a day stretching regimen. I am actually really enjoying the cycling and the extra range that I have on a bike, as opposed to running, (see my latest post on last Sunday’s ride), as for swimming well unfortunately I have the aquatic characteristics of a stone. I noted to someone the other day that the running had become a bit obsessive and that I had probably overtrained. I had lost my mental sharpness and I was showing several classic symptoms, so in addition to the physical harm (knees etc) there was the mental harm as well. </p> <p>I know there are a lot of people who would like the Nike+ to work on a bike – and I just added myself to that list!</p> <p>There have been lots of lessons learned in the last month or so and are never to be repeated! It just goes to show that it is all about balance; hamstrings/quads, cross-training and life in general!</p> <p>Hope to be back in the Starling Challenges soon, albeit at Level 1…watch this (well my) space</p> Laura, thanks for the coverage.

I know there are a lot of people who would like the Nike+ to work on a bike – and I just added myself to that list!

There have been lots of lessons learned in the last month or so and are never to be repeated! It just goes to show that it is all about balance; hamstrings/quads, cross-training and life in general!

Hope to be back in the Starling Challenges soon, albeit at Level 1…watch this (well my) space

I'm wondering if you can get him set up with a biking version of Nike+? Just something on his bike to monitor his progress? Great blog by the way!</p> I’ve yet to really investigate Nike+, but I know bike work and swimming in particular are great for those who can’t run for awhile.
