Full spin class
February 15, 2012 | |
This morning I made it through a full spin class. I did not do everything but I was able to do quite a bit. I have not been in pain either so that makes me quite happy. Last week I overdid one day and paid for it the next day. My trainer is challenging me. The PT wants me to get up to a 3 mile walk before I try to run. Tomorrow I am scheduled to walk 2 miles so I am within weeks of possibly trying to run again. I never thought not running would be this frustrating.

Congratulations on completing a spinning class, and on doing it pain free!
Awesome!!! it sounds like you are doing great
The only way to know where your (always improving) limit is, is to bump into it every now and then. I think it’s good/necessary to feel like you over-did it occasionally. Just don’t over-over-do-it
Sound like you’re making great progress!
For those first few attempts at running, a tip I can offer is to start out going downhill. It will reduce the necessary push off with each foot.
Thanks. I ran a little yesterday. I run on an inside track and just tried a short distance on the straight sides for a couple of laps. It felt pretty good but I am not going to push it. My PT wasn’t thrilled with me for doing it.
