Hi

Have ramped my cycling & running in the last few weeks (time & intensity) - big nono but I couldnt resist.

I have noticed that I have a bruise like pain on my VMO muscle near the knee cap.

Doesnt hurt to run,but very slightly noticable when I cycle. Mainly notice it when standing (in normal day life, not standing on the pedals) and I tense that muscle. Does it sound like overuse?

Thanks

    I've had a similar thing with running and cycling. Its my cleat position/natural foot position on the bike which pulls the muscle into a certain position. When I run, the muscle relaxes back to its natural state......with a fair amount of pain. Lay off one or the other activity and see if it subsides.
