Me too! smile

It's a be-atch. If you've never had it, the pain occurs on the outside of the knee, and around the back, and once it starts it seems like there's nothing to be done about it.... then after feeling like a major injury, a day or two later NOTHING! No swelling, no pain... just gone.

Found some supposed stretches but I'm skeptical. They don't seem to actually "get to" that area. Very difficult area to stretch. Guess I'll continue to research, and roll the crap out of it on the foam roller in the meantime. As long as I keep my rides under 30 miles it seems to not be an issue.... but....

Maybe I'll ask on the cycling forum.


The CENTER will hold.

is your foam roller a firm one? I had one that turned out to be a little too soft; my current one is quite firm and has little nubs in the foam to even add more to the "pleasure" laugh

Runs on pause for shin-splint/muscle issues in my left lower leg. Talked to a buddy who's a PT who made some suggestions.....nothing serious wrong with the leg, but have to take care of it.

Been on my bike more....13 mile ride on Sunday....doesn't sound far, but got 1100' of climb, which was a good workout. Severe storms here yesterday, so I did a 45 min indoor trainer workout with my bike focusing on cadence. Indoor cadence workouts are fun....usually leaves a pretty good puddle of sweat under the bike when I'm done.

Heart rate is showing great improvements, both while working out and at rest. Need to manage the leg issue and get back in the saddle on the running. I think I can hike through it, as it's running specifically that is the problem.

Yes, here's what I do--select a good-looking 20-something therapist and go let her massage your legs once or twice a week.

That way, even if it doesn't solve the problem, you don't care.

Seriously though, get a good PT to show you a few stretches.

PS, I learned from the master--Battue.

If you're willing to spend a couple bucks, I've found a mobility workout plan called ROMWOD that is pretty cool. They program a new workout daily that takes 20-30 minutes, and it'll hit IT pretty often, I've found. Costs like $13/mo, but it makes mobility work pretty simple. Just watch the daily workout vid and follow the directions. It's helped my mobility a lot....as mentioned in my post above...un-freezing my hip flexors and such has sort of "confused" my ankles and led to some other stuff I have to solve. Long term it'll be good....short term, it's a project getting the mobility/stability stuff sorted out.

it was a little warmish today, well just plain hot; but Tiny Elvis managed to get a 5-ish mile hike/jog in- little cooler with some elevation gain and some tree cover mixed in

I got in nice 6-ish miles in this evening. I went back to where TE and I went yesterday and did a little more recce and was able to add 3 miles of new trail. No one has used this faint trail in some time, but it takes you up to a top of ridge with a big meadow- now full of lupine, monkey flower, arnica and a dozen other wild flowers in bloom. Life is good smile

4.5 miles on our new "secret" trail with my wife and Tiny E- it has a good climb (1500') to get to the top of the loop

2.4 mile 800' climb last night with a 40lb pack....maybe 1/3 was in some serious glacial rock and the last half mile was murderously steep. 53 minutes to the top.

That'll get better till I get through the summer and train some more.

Random, double blind studies, have proven difficult cases like Jeffs will almost always respond to your suggestion. However, best case results are usually seen with a practitioner with a few more years experience. Expense not being a consideration.

The woman, Val, who did PT on my neck after das wreck was a bit of a blonde Amazonian goddess. I bet she could work a mean.... IT band.

Upper body today, lower body yesterday, cardio the day before.

In between, got a great workout at Red Rocks Amphitheater watching the Infamous Stringdusters and climbing the stairs to the top several times. That's where the shortest beer lines were.

I was greatly torn today- temps were a pleasant 70 degrees and wanted to run, but haven't been in the gym all week and don't want to turn into a pu$$y laugh

so...

warmup
squats 3x5
bench 3x5
deads 3x5
dips 3x20
pullups 3x10

My hands have developed a thick layer of lifting callouses. Broke a few PR's lifting this week. Proud of myself for those. Gets me ready for the next phase.

^ good deal- congrats! smile

got a nice 12 mile run in this morning- it's a pretty tough out and backs w/ 2600' gain (divided into 4 climbs) w/ some technical rocky stuff thrown in for good measure; not the quickest I've run this route, but far from the slowest- pretty satisfied with the pace (just over 11 minute miles)
