Title: Help with training program coming from an injury Post by: Eric Day on October 24, 2008, 07:31:59 pm In march I suffered from aquilles tendon -tendonitis. Right now I'm doing a little over 20k per week and feeling better slowly. Before (and after) every run I do plenty of stretching. After run and at night I apply cold ice pack to the tendon. A couple of months ago, we I got up from bed, I could hardly walk, felt like weak ankle-tendon. Now I feel better but the pain is much milder but still there.
Any ideas on how to get better faster? Title: Re: Help with training program coming from an injury Post by: Sasha Pachev on October 25, 2008, 12:19:20 pm Cross train in addition to the limited running you are able to do. Cross-country skiing, aqua-running, elliptical, rowing, bike, swimming would be my order of preference. Remember to be patient, do not force it, there is no hurry, you've got your whole life ahead of you.

Also, what would be a normal recuperation rate for aquilles tendon problems? Would you considered OK to keep doing 10K races? I have one next weeked and another almost at the end of Nov. These races offer a lot of motivation in order to continue the running...

If you ever feel limited by English, feel free to post in Spanish. Muchos corredores aqui hablan Espaņol. Sin embargo, pienso y toco demasiado despasio in espaņol y con bastante errores tambien y por eso voy a usar ingles.
If you can get through a race without making your injury worse, go ahead. But be cautious. Start out slower, and listen to your body.

I learned my english through my parents, they're canadian but lived in mexico for over 40 years.
By the way...I think that by 'toco' you meant 'escribo' (type). Felicidades a todos los corredores por alla que hablan espanol. Animo y adelante. La mejor inspiracion se logra por el ejemplo de los demas. Title: Re: Help with training program coming from an injury Post by: Sasha Pachev on October 27, 2008, 04:04:23 pm Eric:
Gracias. Lo aprendi leyendo el Libro de Mormon en espaņol y hablando con mis vecinos aqui en Provo, Utah. Mi idioma natal es ruso. La diferencia de ruso y ingles es bastante grande que para mi despues de aprender ingles espaņol fue bastante facil - parecio un dialecto de ingles. |
