Hi again, been away on holiday for the past two weeks hence my absence!
When sat in the back of my mate's Discovery for a few hours every other day as we travelled from one campsite to the other, I'd find my knees would start to ache. The knee itself doesn't ache, but rather the exact areas that sometimes can be sore after some intensive quad exercising. It was just above the knee cap, and the impression I was getting was that it was the ligaments or tendons were aching because of being under constant loading. i.e. the quad muscles were cramping up and pulling ever so slightly.
It then got me thinking that I need to probably strengthen my hamstrings as they're one of the parts that are now lagging behind a bit to everything else. Not wanting to sound like a bodybuilder (because I'm not), but my quads have become considerably larger whereas side view the hamstrings are visibly lacking. Could this be the cause of my discomforts?
Bear in mind my legs are almost ninety degrees in the back of this vehicle. When I get out and walk about the aching begins to fade away and if I'm in the front passenger seat I don't suffer as I can have my legs further out forwards.
Thoughts anyone? It's the only time I've experienced this, and really the only time I've had my legs almost stationary for long periods like this for years.
