  • 10 days straight? You need to work light workouts and time off into your training schedule - it'll be easier to maintain that way. Feeling bad today? Could be a million reasons. I would NOT count on undertraining being one of them.

  • I agree. But in millions of years we've changed when/how/how much we run and on what surfaces. Plus, my buddy didn't freeball at all. Maybe if he did, and did it all the time, everything would have been conditioned to provide support with no pain. This is all strictly anecdotal. FWIW, mine hurt if I do jump squats without…

  • 1. Don't freak out until the ortho sees you. If they're a good one, they'll order an MRI if they can't make the diagnosis unassisted. 2.

  • Thank you. Ummmmmm, which one? The Goodwill thing or running my own program? Just curious. Whenever I get that strong of a response to something I wrote, I get really interested in what/why.

  • I'm the guy at the gym who looks like he gets his workout clothes at Goodwill/Salvation Army. Because I do. I used to train at a traditional karate school and had to buy relatively expensive uniforms that would get abused thru normal training and last about a year. It used to just bug me that I was paying alot of money for…
