Hi all,

Battling uphill after an ACL reconstruction last September. Got to the point when I had a solid couple of months training in April/May out at 30k per week but slipped back into plenty of joint pain for the last 6 weeks.

A bit of background, used to be a competitive powerlifter (75k class so I'm not a big guy). The main issue I seem to face is that unless I give my quad/hamstring a lot of strength training on my bad leg, they waste pretty quickly and I end up using my calf to compensate. It's only a couple of weeks of this before my knee lets me know!

Anyway, I'm getting on top of it for now, just was wondering if anyone else has had an ACL reconstruction and what you do to maintain it longterm for training out in the hills. Looking to learn as much as I can.
