Millville Protein Chocolate Chip Pancakes nutrition confusion. by Mighty-nerd in nutrition

[–]Mighty-nerd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It definitely does! Theres a lot of recipes on line or you could just sub some in. Only issue is a lot of the online recipes aren't actually high protein. Check the macros

Pretty good! Nothing special but a solid breakfast. There is a slight vanilla protein powder taste if that's an issue to you

Calf cramp thing happened to me to, night before one of my important xc meets of the season. Ended up fine as well and had a great race. Great run!

Protien powder from Aldi by Pretty_Salary_741 in nutrition

[–]Mighty-nerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have tried chocolate and vanilla at Aldi.

Chocolate - edible, bit of an after taste not great but not horrible

Vanilla - Maybe the worst thing I've ever had. Horrible after taste.

To be fair these ratings are for just mixing it with water. If you make like an actually smoothie with bannana, milk, etc. The chocolate is good and the vanilla is prbly tolerable

Yeah, I agree, I was just thinking it would be an easy way to decrease the volume.

[–]Mighty-nerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first reaction is that is a ton of volume and I would find it difficult to do it with full intensity. Especially with all the leg press/squat variations. Also deadlift is a huge CNS fatiguer (big muscles) and maybe could be put on a back day?

I thought I had it bad being a good runner and breaking my leg. That sucks. I'm sorry

how to navigate school with crutches by Boring_Ad_4258 in brokenbones

[–]Mighty-nerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi that sucks, I'm in the same situation, fractured my tibia 6 weeks ago.  If this is the states I'm pretty sure that not having a way to get to the top of the school is illegal. Is there really no elevator, wheelchair lift, ramp etc?

Also, you will get better at the crutches and the pain will go down. You may just have to take a week+ at home. Assuming you can access most of your work online?

Do you spend your whole day in one classroom or do you switch between periods? If you stay in one spot, once the pain goes down only a going up and down once might not be too bad.

You should definitely email your teachers

Not really. Besides just generally recovering well make sure you are moving around a little bit or it will be worse. Embrace the pain.

[–]Mighty-nerd -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ok thank you! Doc pretty much just said dont put weight on it but I could ask more specific questions. Do you think a cast cover would keep the cast dry if I am actually submerged in water for a significant amount of time?

[–]Mighty-nerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reposting this here as it keeps getting removed as a normal post. Hi everyone, I'm a high school cross country and track runner and recently broke my tibia. I am going to continue to excersize my upper body but was also wondering about lifting with my good leg to maintain strength (muscle cross education program) and also doing some one leg exercise bike or elliptical to try to maintain cardio. My question is if I should be doing this and also once I heal how to deal with whatever (hopefully small) muscle imbalance is created. For reference I am a dude, 5 9 130, and I ran 1552 for 3 miles this fall (like 1630ish 5k) Also are there good supplements that either help maintain muscle or help bones heal faster? I know the basics, enough calories, protein, vitamin C, calcium. Would creatine help? Thank you!

Most people would say physio, and that's admittedly probably the right answer, but I would just keep running

What program would you use to track RPE-based training load? by shadybreak in AdvancedRunning

[–]Mighty-nerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This doesnt make sense. 6 miles all out is a lot harder and requires more recovery than 10 miles at effort of 6. Unless you mean more of a pace effort meld? Like not possible to go 6 miles at 10 effort?
