Did you try the light dolphin kicking sets in the pool on front, on back, on each side, with and without fins yet or does that hurt? Also in terms of biking, are you talking TT bike, or road bike. Its really funny, because I have had friends with these issues who are worse in a TT position. Others like me are better in a TT position with more weight on shoulders and less on butt. I would expect that riding outside is better due to variation and not that static position on the trainer. Not sure how much swimming you are doing, but if you can, I would replace some of the trainer time with swim since your feet and lumbar spine are not locked into fixed positions....more give in case there are small aggrevations. Half IM watts for half IM duration sounds like you are almost on the path that you can do Kona watts for Kona duration and you have 10 months to go. So maybe less bike is fine for now.
Walking is always good for range of motion and gradual torsion (depending on nature of your problem).
Did you try super light rowing machine for range of motion and core yet, or is that too hard?
Dolphin been scarred to try, maybe will try today. Fins general put to much more pressure on the L5 for some reason; just started using them again around 4-5 weeks ago.
TT vs road bike with my lower back has been interesting. Generally outside TT seems to for. whatever reason be a little easier on the back and road bike on trainer is easier. No clue why.
I walk more then I ever have no: figure thats a great way to just get some blood flowing. From what I have gained in knowledge the disc does not have a very good blood flow so the more you move the better the blood flow is and the faster it can heal.
Been scarred to try the rowing machine: you said just try to go light, so maybe will try that today too.
I use my 3 hours Zwift race on the weekend as more just a release to go out and feel like a athlete again and push some power...... also dont want to be embarrassed when I make it back out on the roads with my normal riding crew.
Edit:
- Really big overnight change for me was drinking water! Sounds crazy I know; but my pilates instructor asked me one day how much I was drinking a day (not including workouts) and I was around 15-30oz. I raised that to 80-100oz and general lower back aches almost disappeared overnight.
