ONE revolution is the time between ONE knee hitting the same position.
Just get a cheap speed/cadence meter.
Then work on pushing yourself to run 10rpm over what normally seems comfortable.
Once that becomes easy, push yourself to go 10rpm higher.

Back when I got knee trouble I was doing 50-80 rpm.
Now I normally run 85-105 and have had no knee trouble in years.
