| Dmitriy: | Hi Boris - just noticed the glute discussion thread and decided to give some feedback. I had hip and knee issues back to years when we ran intervals on the Fort Hamilton track and Owl's Head park hills. However, cross-training and adjustment of my running technique helped to avoid major training injuries. Well, I don't count broken bones due to accidents. I guess, it will not hurt to check out the following page Gluteus Maximus Injury. According to this article one of glute's functions is "Stabilizing the body when the foot hits the ground". I noticed significant reduction in injuries after switching from heel to forefoot/midfooot running. It takes time to adjust - for me it took about a year. Now I can comfortably run a marathon in racing flats. Recovery after racing or tough excersises is a must. However, even easy runs have impact on joints. Biking and swimming help me recover after tough running workouts. BTW, I always swim after my morning runs and stretch in the pool. I also reduced my running volume, but increased intesity. It works great so far. If you teared your glute then it needs time to heal and there is not much you can do to speed it up. I believe, you should keep training to maintain your form. Check if the following makes your glute better or worse:
1. Stair walking 2. Leg press Mountain biking as you described is not good for you. However, biking on roads or good trails is okay. In general, the rule 'keep going unless things get worse' works for me so far... |
