About two weeks ago I did a pretty hard ride. There were some stiff climbs towards the end, I was definitely straining, and my knee started hurting. The pain is on the outer side of my one knee and below the knee cap. The pain wasn't too bad and I just pushed through. Well, today I go out for one of my regular rides and maybe 20 relatively easy miles in I get the same pain. This is the first time I've been out since that hard ride.
The bike is a custom Serotta that I got 10 years ago, it's got thousands of miles on it, and I've never really had this problem until now. I've been using the Time Impact pedals on it for maybe 5 years. I haven't done any major adjustments recently.
Any ideas on what's going on and what I can try?
Some other history: I think I do have a tendency to over-pronate and had a set of orthotics made years ago after I developed a bone spur. I used them for awhile (in regular walking shoes), wasn't getting any more spurs, and stopped using them.
