Anyone know how you modify the training categories to add "cross training" so I can keep track of my ellipticals? Anyway, I hit the elliptical for the first time. I have no idea what I was doing and the programs made no sense. So I just got on and pedalled, played with the resistance a bit but kept it pretty low and easy. So I "ran" at about 80 rpm for one hour, keeping my heart rate at about 150. Paul- if you are reading this- any suggestions for modifying that? Seemed like a decent workout anyway. My feet were kind of numb when I finished but that went away fast-maybe these spenco arch supports I have been wearing at doctors advice?
OK- my foot is starting to feel better and the tendon is not as irritated down there. I have one really, nasty sore spot on my left interior of shin, right on the muscle against the bone, just in one place, probably 1/3 to 1/2 the way up my calf. If you touch it just right, and not hard, it induces huge pain, the type that makes you scream and hit the roof. Does not seem to be improving. But doesn't hurt when I run, but the PT guy said it is a shin splint injury and not to run til it improves. Has anyone experienced anything similar, and any advice on how to deal with it? I wonder if it is knotted, inflamed or something worse? Why just in the one spot-is that good or bad? Anyone out there who can help me out?
