An update on progress on the PowerCranks. Up to 1.5 hrs with the cranks, so overall pretty happy with the progress. Have done all my recent rides with Relic. Riding with someone else is actually easier than riding solo. When you sit on a wheel it naturally allows for some non pedalling time which is a nice break. Also I have found being distracted with some good chitter chatter helps keep my mind off my screaming hip flexors. One big thing I have realized is you really have to be consistenly riding the cranks to adapt well. I had some stints where I would ride them during the week but then ride track on the weekends or take a couple days off. Returning to the cranks after more than a couple days off is painfull!! Ideally you want to be on them as much as possible.
