Bah Humbug

I keep getting stronger and doing my exercises...but it seems on injury leads to another.  Patellar tendonitis has been healed and given way to upper hamstring tendonopathy.  It seems the physical therapy has that nearly licked.  I ask about running again and here's what I get.....

 
Week 1
Walk 5min / jog 1min, build to 5 sets on alternating days(ex. 2x5min/1min, off, 3x5min/1min, off, etc.)
Week 2
If no pain, walk 5min / jog 5min, build to 5 sets on alternating days
Week 3
If no pain, advance to 20min jog, no more than 5 days per week
Week 4
If no pain, advance to 20min run at normal training pace, no more than 5 days per week
Weeks 5-8
If no pain, gradually increase running speed, volume, and acceleration as tolerated

 
BAH!!!!!  this is one tough comeback!!

  1. I have had more comebacks that you have had girlfriends.....anyway, what is always amazing to me is that just bye adding tiny bits every week, in three or four months you are accomplishing a heck of a lot.....relax, 40 is still 18 months away.....Pop
