12 miles of crosstraining (stationary biking for 35 mins.) to allow my IT band to heal up. I went to the sports therapist here at school, and they showed me some recommended excercises and stretches to help heal and prevent this injury from occuring again. As for my workout, I tried to keep my heartrate as close to 180 bpm as I could for 30 mins, which turned out to be quite a task. I had to put the resistance on high had to pedal like a madman, but I think that I got a decent cardiovascular workout. After a few more days of this, I think I will be ready to and run again! |
