Before I hurt my knee in September, I would stand in whatever gear ECT (Evil Coach Troy) said. If it was a really easy gear, it would be tough, but I think it really helped me get more strength in my legs. I do think it's something you need to be really careful with though and pay attention to how it feels. There's good hurt and there's bad hurt.

After I hurt my knee, I couldn't stand and pedal at all at first, not even outside. Now, as long as I'm in the big ring when he says to stand, I do. If I'm in the middle ring, I ignore him.
