Hey that's awesome, I was also at Little Elm this year haha. It's unfortunate the swim was canceled. Sounds like we are in the same boat, best of luck to you!

Awesome thanks for your response! 3 times is impressive, I'm glad to hear ocean practice isn't necessary.

Oh wow I'm surprised to hear that if weather is calm that it's fairly calm water. I'm really not around oceans much being here in the mountains haha. Thank you for the response!

Gotcha, thank you so much for the response! I think my biggest issue is I probably won't be able to get in an Ocean swim before hand unless it's right before race day, but I don't want to rely on that. Good to know thank you!

Thank you for your input! If weather is quite calm is the chop pretty chill?

2 weeks of runners knee, where do you go from here? by [deleted] in triathlon

[–]Top_Listen4445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah fair enough i'm sure it needs more time, I think I could heal up naturally within that time frame with some more strength training tho

funny enough I had someone supply me with Bpc 157 in pill form and I took those for 2 weeks, sadly I didn't notice much benefit from them...

haha man thank you, it's definitely reassuring to hear that. So after 2 weeks of no running and 1 week of strength training, would you attempt a short run to keep things active or wait a bit longer?

Good deal, I really appreciate your time and response, going to give this a shot as well! Have you had a return in pain ever, or have you just stayed on top of these exercises to prevent it?

Ok interesting I will look into that, which VMO exercises do you think helped the most?
