Bats? Gee, that sounds swell... I think it's fairly common to tense your shoulders when running, or just generally. Here ya go: http://www.runnersworld.com/running-tips/get-rid-of-shoulder-tension

Cosigned. This is why I ride, y'all. My quads look pretty great, too, and my resting HR dropped about 35 bpm, but mostly, cycling makes me really happy.

Also, @gobonas99 you got this! Your training has been awesome recently! @nicruns sorry about the strain! I've been dealing with something similar and an very afraid of it sidelining me! @Davide0910 welcome! Good luck this weekend!

@skippygirlsmom :wink: He used to be just a creepy coat rack, but now that we have a hall closet, he serves a higher purpose.

@_nikkiwolf_ Congrats! Loved the race report! My medals all hang on the vintage metal mannequin in my front hall that is also my bike rack. Do you have one of those handy? Lol.

Right there with you, OP. I crashed an impressive 7 times in 8 miles my first time using clipless pedals. Couldn't tell you hoW or why most of those happened. Still do it occasionally, if conditions are right. I don't trust cyclists without a few road rash scars!

6/1- swim/ bike day 6/2- 3 mi. 6/3- rest day 6/4- 5.7 mile trail run- long warmup, 7x 3 mins tempo, 2 minutes recovery, cooldown. Probably picked an unnecessarily hillyand technical trail for this particular work out, but it was so lovely and fun, it was worth it :smiley: Total: 8.7 mi.

Oh. My. Gosh. No thank you. Sounds awful. Mine was probably a solo 40 mile cycle that included 3000 feet of long climbs and crazy descents in the pouring rain, hail, and 40 degree weather. Killer wind, too. Bookended by a 5 mile trail run the day before and a ten mile hike after. Ugh, that was a rough weekend. I've never…

You got it, ma'am! Good luck! (OP means original post[er].)

Been in your shoes. There's a reason everyone says that. CBT is the best (some would say only) way to recover from an ED. It is a long, frustrating process. But very few people can recover on their own from anorexia. Request a new therapist, if you didn't like yours and give it a try. If you're still logging sub-1000…

Cosigned. You're running too fast.

@shanaber wear one of each! :smiley: Easy 3 miler with strides this morning. Cycling tonight. I feel like this HIM plan has me doing a disproportionate amount of cycling... 6/2- 3 mi. Total: 3 mi.
-
@csman49 it definitely did! I did the cycling thread in April but it didn't have quite as much personality as this one did last month. I approve! 6/1-2500 meter swim and 13.5 miles on bike 6/2- easy 3 mile run with strides before work this morning. Bike on deck for tonight. Swim: 2500 m Bike: 13.5 mi Run: 3 mi X-train: 0

Wow, lotsa new folks! Welcome all! This is my favorite thread and pretty much the only one I actually read on the regular. @Wendy1Fl congrats on the news!! I have a friend from work who's well into her third trimester and still killing it in the gym. I'm sure you can knock out and ultra marathon before the new arrival!…

Aha, I was wondering if there'd be a June edition. Goal for the month is to complete 90% of workouts as prescribed by my training plan, plus at least 5-6 hours hiking and kayaking and yoga 1x week minimum. 6/1-2500 meters- long intervals in the pool and 13.5 miles- an (awful) spin on the trainer. Swim: 2500 m Bike: 13.5 mi…

@cblue315 AWESOME AWESOME job! Congrats on your first race! So glad to hear you're already hooked! Had a nice ride and brick run today. Ended up doing the last third of my ride with a random fellow cyclist who was headed the same direction. That was a nice change of pace, my long rides are usually solo. Ran a bit…

Are you following a specific program? You may want to scale back the frequency until your body adapts. Try something like C25K. You may just be trying to do too much too soon. What kind of shoes are you wearing? That's one of the most common causes of shin splints. Go to a dedicated running store (like Fleet Feet or a…

Wow, solid advice from the PT lol. Sounds like my ortho- he just said "I don't know, seems like you're managing the pain okay. Just be careful" after I explained that the excruciating pain and frequent knee dislocations were making it hard for me to train. Wouldn't even order an MRI. That's what I get for expecting empathy…
-
I would definitely get yourself to an ER or urgent care for an X-ray and (possibly) an MRI. Knee injuries are no joke. I messed mine up in college, literally held it together with duct tape and didn't go to a doc. Now it dislocates whenever and wherever it feels like it and usually takes a tendon or muscle with it. I see a…
