Other Aerobic (Elliptical) 10:00 [1]
ahr:90
@ Gym, elliptical backwards, resistance 4, height min., ~90 cycles/min (ed. note - must have been 45...)
Very little pain at the end of the Gym set, but I don't have ice at the gym and now it's burning more than normal (getting annoying to sit) about 1 hour later... Perhaps I should bring my own ice. Or only do Elliptical/walking every other day?
Walking (Treadmill, backwards) 5:00 [1] 0.13 mi (38:30 / mi) +20m 26:02 / mi
shoes: R-Champion Grey/Orange
Strength 20:00 [1]
Upper body, calves, ankles, eccentric hamstring, lots of hamstring stretching
Strength (Stretching & some hamstri) 5:00 [1]
Noon: Misc stretching an hour after the Gym. leg burning a bit.
1PM: Got to work after lunch just in time to grab some ice. That calmed the burn down.
6PM: Heat/Massage/Eccentric/Stretch/Ice - definitely burning during the Eccentric & Stretching - not severe but near the upper end of the last 2-weeks worth of pain.
Pain:In the last two weeks the improvement in pain has been less steady, with some days seeming worse than the day before. But I guess my leg-activity is going up a bit... At this rate though it could be months before running, IF it doesn't get suddenly (or gradually) worse at some point...
Note
BTW, I blew off swimming today. I am really, really am hoping I can start doing cardio on an elliptical or treadmill walking-uphill or something, but I'm apparently not there yet as I can only hit an HR of ~90 at levels that threaten to upset the hamstring. Darn. I really don't like swimming. I have to pretend I'm an injured Swedish team member or something, as I've heard some of them got stuck in the pool due to injury over th last few months (but at least they could move their legs.)
