Tom Hampton. Wow. I was told Slowtwitch was a supportive place. You're cyberbullying someone you don't know, whose body, level of fitness, and history you don't know. If I followed your advice, I'd wind up with quadriceps tendonitis and shoulder impingement in a day. Two, tops. I've been working steadily for years with a few doctors, therapists, and trainers to overcome a few niggles and I need to be careful. For everyone else, here's a morning after report: I took the combined advice of the hivemind and made a few changes both last night and tonight. I made sure I was drinking enough water later in the day, I stretched more than usual at night, and avoided sitting too much. Felt much better this morning, and used the morning coffee time (usually spent in partial stupor, again sitting) to walk around, loosen up, do both static and dynamic stretching, whatever felt good. I felt way better. Much better. I think that I can play around with a few of your ideas and see what works for me. In the meantime, thanks for all the advice!
Who told you that lie?! ST is where you come to learn a great deal about the sport but often only after wading through piles of crap. If you think telling someone to HTFU is "cyberbullying" then you might need a flak jacket for some other threads. Meanwhile, welcome to the forum.
