MIA
I've been MIA and have no excuse. So, let me give a quick recap of last week and this week to date. Last week a couple things of note happened. First, I did a 50 mile bike ride (back and forth to chateau Hall) and it killed my legs for several days. I bit off way more than I was ready for and didn't properly take nutrients. Second, I started getting a pain in my knee. It killed when I ran but was okay when I was around. Turns out it was due to kicking to hard while bending at the knee with my swim. Now I'm working on that.
Yesterday was a pool workout. Did a 300m warm up and planned on doing 10x100 on the 2 min. Got interrupted after my third set by the swim team and had to cut it short. Felt good to be back in the pool. The knee was a bit soar so I went on the elliptical for 30 min and then the bike for 15. Totally exhausted after not sleeping last night.
Tomorrow I'm up early to run and hoping to get in another run in the evening.

Any idea what the knee pain is? I'm dealing with some patellar tendonosis that's limiting my running. Hopefully I can get back to it with a few weeks of focus leg exercises and stretching.
ReplyDeleteGentlemen, I suggest a good icing right after running for the knees. They should have some type of ice at the places where you swim (I'm lucky with having a physical trainer at ERAU.) From my classes at BYU, I would deter you from using those ice packs that Dad always has in the freezer and use ice itself (small little cubes like the stuff you would find at Jimmy Dean's.)
ReplyDeleteIt turns out the knee pain is from my poor swimming form and that my leg is twisted/at an angle when I kick.
