Froggy brother's and sisters: Do you have any specific dry land exercises you do for your knees. I know extensions and curls are good to stabilise. Anyone have any other tips? Rich

    Because of babying my knees I do surprisingly little full stroke breaststroke in workouts.About 300 in my warmup and about 300 in my sets.The sets are all race pace and I do lots of breaststroke pull dolphin kick with fins as well as eggbeater kick sprints(which don't seem to strain my knees for some reason.) Well tomorrow will show me if I'm still OK. I can go easy on kicks another week or so I think. I plan to do more pulls and such Friday..still felt under par tonight but forced a mile of Free out of myself to try to heat myself up and fight off whatever it is. I actually feel much better.
