Runner's Knee and Cycling - Cycling Mob: Road Cycling, Mountain Biking and More

07-22-2004, 10:03 AM

A LRS person told me that my runner's knees are caused by imbalance in
strength between two upper-leg muscle groups, namely, quadricep and
hamstring.

If I complement my running with cycling, will it help?

Also, one burns about 100 cal per running mile. In cycling, is there
a similar ballpark caloric estimate (or chart of variables) per
cycling mile?

Thanks for your pointers!
