The good news is that the PT is working, I am on a 90 minutes a day stretching regimen. I am actually really enjoying the cycling and the extra range that I have on a bike, as opposed to running, (see my latest post on last Sunday’s ride), as for swimming well unfortunately I have the aquatic characteristics of a stone. I noted to someone the other day that the running had become a bit obsessive and that I had probably overtrained. I had lost my mental sharpness and I was showing several classic symptoms, so in addition to the physical harm (knees etc) there was the mental harm as well. </p> <p>I know there are a lot of people who would like the Nike+ to work on a bike – and I just added myself to that list!</p> <p>There have been lots of lessons learned in the last month or so and are never to be repeated! It just goes to show that it is all about balance; hamstrings/quads, cross-training and life in general!</p> <p>Hope to be back in the Starling Challenges soon, albeit at Level 1…watch this (well my) space</p> http://www.starling-fitness.com/archives/2007/08/14/the-road-to-recovery-for-slb/#comment-122429 Dana Tue, 14 Aug 2007 21:22:19 +0000 http://www.starling-fitness.com/archives/2007/08/14/the-road-to-recovery-for-slb/#comment-122429 <p>I've yet to really investigate Nike+, but I know bike work and swimming in particular are great for those who can't run for awhile. I'm wondering if you can get him set up with a biking version of Nike+? Just something on his bike to monitor his progress? Great blog by the way!</p>
