Huddle Workout Warriors Part deux

Old thread got archived so figured I'd start a new one for relevant workout discussions. 

 

Any other runners/tri-athletes in the crowed?  After taking 3 months off running to rest a slight right knee injury, and a solid month returning running/biking to I've began my 70.3 ironman training in earnest. But so far I seem to not be making any head way from where I started a month ago. right knee still seems to be bothering me a bit while running. but not enough to stop or really slow me down. but I'm conscious of it not feeling 100% while I run.  My stamina just isn't there when running, I struggled today to finish a 3 mile run on a 10min/mile pace, which is something I would have laughed at just before my knee injury. This time last year I was 8min/mile pace, while running 5-6 miles 3-4 times a week. 

I was wondering if I have just been running or biking too much, but my legs are just fine when biking. and there I have made noticeable improvements over a month when I started out just biking 20 miles/ride, and now I'm riding 30-40 miles and have boosted my MPH average by .4. So I'm making noticeable improvements on my bike but none while running....  would also think some of the endurance from the biking would carry over to running and yet I've seen none.  I have recently tried adding more carbs to my diet to see if that helps some. but still.

The surgery and follow-up rehab may have possibly changed your running motion. You will compensate and not realize it.

It sounds dumb and I can't speak on it, but maybe try running barefoot for a while to reset your running motion.

I ran the Charlotte marathon and I'm currently training for a half marathon in June.  When you start back running you have to take it slow.  2 days a week to start until it becomes less painful.  Do not stress out over your time it will get better as you become stronger but you have to take resting and stretching seriously.  Also if at all possible ice any aches and pains for 20-30 mins after each run.  Oh and running bare foot is not a good idea at all unless you are an elite runner.  It was really just a fad because some guy wrote a book about barefoot running but the truth of it the subjects of the book were too poor to buy shoes.

Barefoot running is more than a fad. It promotes arch health and strengthens the muscles of the feet. I recommended it because it forces you to strike with your forefoot, which helps correct many issues with form.

Granted, no, you shouldn't just start barefoot running if you're not at least accustomed to walking barefoot.

The Harvard study funded by Vibram lol.  That "study" resulted in a class action law suit that now has Vibram offering full refunds to anyone who bought their famous five fingered shoes.  Look at the disclaimer at the bottom of the article. Bought and paid for by Vibram.

1 - I block all ads so I can't see what you're talking about.

2 - I didn't recommend any product or brand. In fact, I recommended the opposite.

3 - Running shoes are a very modern invention for a species that historically ran its prey to death.

4 - Believe what you want. I've been around enough to know that running in shoes is a foreign concept in many places in the world.

I guess we should stop driving cars around since that is a new concept.  I didn't say you recommended anything and there was no ad to speak of.  There will be about 30,000 people running the Boston Marathon this year.  I bet you cant find more than 1 or 2 idiots in the whole bunch running barefoot.

Started "Starting Strength" a week ago.  I'm literally starting, as in, I'm trying to get form first.  I had quit running in November because of a nagging knee. Gained a few pounds of fat from sitting around through the holidays.  Decided I was tired of being "skinny-fat" and running wasn't going to do anything to make me stronger.  Haven't lifted a barbell since high school and even then I wasn't "lifting".  Considered going to a gym but everything is so damn expensive.  Ended up with a decent barbell set, squat rack and bench for like $300.  After a few workouts, I can already tell I'm going to like this.

I am down to lifting only about 2x per week, just trying to maintain strength.  Life is getting in the way.

I feel ya there, I was doing good on my training for the half ironman, and then life and bad weather has kept me from doing anything for the last two week almost. I'm really bummed about this...

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
