Sprinting is one of my weaknesses and I want to work on this over the winter, inspired by Andy's post of how much he increased his peak power by standing starts I was going to try incorporating these once a week into a 2 hour low intensity ride.
However, I have a dodgy knee so I am a bit concerned incase this type of effort, eg standing start efforts 10sec from almost standstill in say 53x16-17 will hurt my knee again.
Any other suggestions apart from this type of effort? similar efforts sat down in a small gear? that works the leg speed part of the equation but not the overall power i think?
Any knee-friendly suggestions welcomed!
