Cyclists with a "Running" Problem

[ScottCM]

Sorry to hear about your loss bud. 

[SwissVan]

It was a hard two weeks, the run gave me some release, but the funeral was only the following Saturday, so I was in a state of emotional limbo for the week before and after the run.

 

All I can say is cherish and treasure the time you have with your parents while you can. No-one lives forever.

Very true Paddaman

My pops passed in 2012 while I was in Switz and now my mom is in frail care in SA.... not a day goes passed that I don’t feel guilty for being so far away.

I am so so sorry to hear that. Time is so precious

Any Garmin users having issues with uploading activities? My device is syncing to the Express app, but doesn't seem to be pushed to the Garmin servers and neither to Strava. My wife is having the same issue.

Hey guys,

 

Jeeeeez, any of you battling to get going after Comrades? I have had my running clothes ready to go but getting up in the morning has been VERY difficult! haha

[dave303e]

its all in the mind, you may have waited too long to get going again...

 

The guy that came fifth at Western States 100, won the Hardrock 100 just a few weeks later...

I haven't run the comrades, but the temperatures in your part of the country would keep me in bed too.

 

Don't be so hard on yourself, you'll pick up in no time

Nothing wrong with the temperatures if you dress accordingly!

Been rather hot here lately, so this morning we got up at 5am for a jog instead of after work.... it’s been awhile since we ran before the sun came up.

 

Saw a lady riding her horse and a man walking/swimming his husky in a fountain... all this before breakfast ????

Washie winning time was ridiculous!

 

Hour faster than last year, over 2 hours faster than second place.

So we are up to 85 members on the strava group, well done everybody     

 

However this means we definitely have more than just one or two silent members who read, follow but don't feel comfortable with asking or sharing. While this is perfectly fine (But please do become more vocal and let us into your world, we not that bad ) , it also means the time will come that these silent members will struggle with injuries and be to afraid to ask as they might be new and think they will be a drag. So here is a basic guideline from Runners World relating to injuries and who to see, hope it's helpful to someone.

 

SPORTS-MEDICINE DOCTOR

Physicians with added training in sports medicine are often the best place to start, especially for a new problem. Sports docs can give you a comprehensive evaluation that includes diagnostic tests, from blood counts to bone scans to MRIs. They'll help you resolve issues like vitamin deficiencies or exercise-induced asthma, and may refer you to a specialist to rehab injuries such as runner's knee.
Best for: Mystery ailments, fatigue, and health issues affecting your running
Not for: Therapy for an already-diagnosed muscle or joint injury

ORTHOPEDIST

Orthopedists treat issues affecting the bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments, which makes them a smart choice if you have an ongoing pain that acts up during or after a run. See an orthopedist with a sports-medicine specialization who works with athletes to prevent and manage injury. While orthopedists often perform surgery, look for one who is rehab-oriented and operates as a last resort.
Best for: All types of running injuries—muscle strains and pulls, joint pains and sprains, stress fractures
Not for: General health problems (fatigue, anemia, etc.)

PODIATRIST

Podiatrists specialize in feet. During an exam, they'll check the wear patterns of your running shoes and watch you walk and run to look for biomechanical issues that could be contributing to your injury. Sports podiatrists may recommend a shoe insert or custom-made orthotics.
Best for: Foot and ankle-related problems like plantar fasciitis; chronic injuries that often result from poor foot mechanics (runner's knee, iliotibial-band syndrome)
Not for: Acute nonfoot injuries

PHYSICAL THERAPIST

Often, physical therapists work with orthopedists to diagnose problems. They most often design rehab programs and prescribe exercises to keep you injury-free.
Best for: Rehabbing known injuries, both acute and chronic
Not for: General health problems (fatigue, anemia, etc.) or if you suspect you have a fracture

CHIROPRACTOR

Because the medical establishment hasn't always been accepting of this profession, you may be wary of chiropractic care. But many runners go to sports-trained chiropractors. Most will watch you walk or run to identify risk areas that can lead to injuries. Then they'll press on or around joints, which can alleviate pain and strain on surrounding muscles and joints.
Best for: Back pain; injuries that may not be responding to other methods
Not for: Traumatic injuries like fractures or torn ligaments

You are not alone... Tomorrow is D-Day for me.
