I had trouble last fall with runners knee, but after 3 months or so it finally gave way to normalcy by mid-December. Anyway, my first triathlon of the season is March 29th. I had this week off, so I decided to hit it hard with training before the race.
All during the week my right leg was stiff from running/biking continuously. In the last workout of the week, a 90 mile bike absolutely killed my knee, eventually where I was pedaling with one leg to make it home haha. It’s a little better now, but I would not dare get on a bike.
umm any tips on recovering as quickly as possible for next Sunday’s triathlon (its a sprint)? massage? Stretching?
can one overdose on glucosamine? jk (desperate here)
In the future perhaps you shouldn’t up the volume and intensity so much so quickly but now that the damage is done:
foam roller, massage, foam roller (if you don’t have one try a rolling pin - not kidding)
.
TC, you are like me with calf injuries, been there done it, want to help others avoid it.
I think I’m like that with any injuries LOL.
guess what type of cliff bar I had before running this morning ![]()
Chocolate Brownie? Grr.
any experience using the stick? I was wondering whether I should get “the stick” or a foam roller? which kind would you of foam roller/stick would you recommend? thanks!
