Training Log: djsanton97

Rested a few days after the visit with the physio before testing the runability. So today I decided to go for a try. Warmed up my leg for 10min and then I did some of the hip and knee exercises and then some rolling that the physio suggested. Then it was time to head out...

Honestly, I walked most of the time. I started with 5min of walk and then I ran for as long as it didn't hurt and then walked a bit again until I felt I could run again. The runs were ~30seconds and walks ~2min. But after 25min of run/walk it hurt too much so I walked back home.

Before ^^ this I knew I have to back up a bit and start slow from way back but this bad? I can't really put it into my head that I might have to go through it again. Starting from the bottom and under, back to just pool running and core I guess.............


(Maybe I should just start raking the forests for Californians for recovery training??? Any thoughts?? JK)

Physio visit:

So I think he found out the issue(after serious pain): sitting and driving the car all day isn't a problem but sitting in the wrong angle is. I've used the thigh pad on the car seat and I've set it too high so that my thigh has been in a higher than 90degrees angle which has lead to my glute being in a stretching position for the whole time I'm driving. This causes the glute's smaller inner muscles to contract and that presses the Sciatic nerve which caused the numbness and dull pain in my whole leg. So hopefully he is right and now after the treatment he gave me it feels a lot better.

He also advised to use a ball to roll the glute's smaller inner muscles just before running(especially on days when I'm working). So rest today and easy try-out run tomorrow.
